worse colour cliosport to keep clean?

S

shaun_cliosport

Car  silver cup packed FF 182
im hunting for a titanium silver clio but the black/gold looks lush when clean but im thinking black maybe a nitemare to keep it clean?
 
sounds sad but ive seen a lovely black/gold 182 but only thing that puts me off is the whole keeping it clean scenario lol
 
my last car was black and it looked stunning when clean, only lasted a day though then you noticed all the dust:dapprove:
 
yeah had problems myself when i used to own a metallic wicked red saxo vts,used to get it really nice and clean then next day even if the weather was good it still look as if i hadnt cleaned it.
 
black gold more than makes up for being dirting when its clean, especially now the summers coming up. I can see what you are saying but don't let it put you off if you really like the colour. A good clean once a week is all you need and then regular polishing and a good coat of wax.

I had the same thoughts before buying my black gold but have no regrets now about the colour, I love it especially when the sun is out.
 
i've had a fair few cars, but they were all black. it's a nightmare if you like your car to look clean most of the time.

when i got the 172 i chose titanium, i don't regret it all all.
 
black is immense when clean, but doesnt last long and you need to clean it often for it to look guid.

If your not a detailer or can be ersed id say avoid
 
silver does well at hiding muck and dirt, but the downside is when youve washed and polished it you cant really tell the difference!

black you get lots of rewards when its mega highly polished but it lasts for all of 20seconds. lol
 
Main problem with black is the road salt in winter turning it a greyish mess - bloody freezing to hand wash at that time of year of course and then its ruined once you're off the driveway. At least in summer it can still look shiny for days apart from the rear once it rains. Stunning when clean and sunny...
 
think my pearl black looks great when proper dirty in winter.Got better things to do with my weekends than washing my effin' car
 
All the arse ends of clios get full of s**t , all the water and crap seem to run towards the back , must be something to do with the shape of em . Even more so if its waxed and set off with it covered in water , everything shoots off the roof, down the back window and onto the bumper , lol .

I pc'd my Black 172 last weekend, looked mint however it lasted about 2 days before the dust settled on it making it dirty again :(

Go for Titanium!
 
titanium is what i want if i can find a decent ff sport is a artic blue colour easy to keep clean or does that get dirty pretty quickly?

Have to agree with Ryhs182, when the sun shines so does black gold.
 
Black is hard (infact understatement - it's a total mare), Silver is easy, Blues in the Middle!

Look no further than the for sale section matey. You're only up the road from me as well;).
 
Silver is best for not having to clean i think the last time i washed mine was around a year ago hahahaha, im really not into cleaning my cars, the wheels look like they have been gun-metaled but its just brake dust!!!
