Default Agate Grey Metallic

I found a 2013 C2S Agate Grey Metallic with all the options I want and it's a CPO car.
I'm not sure about the grey color.
I currently own an 05 Boxster in Arctic Silver and keeping it clean is a breeze.
Only have to wash it once a month.
Had a black NSX, and it was a complete nightmare to keep clean.
I would wash it in the morning and by the afternoon it would be covered with dust, and it was kept in a garage.
I promised myself I would never, ever buy another black car.
And black shows those nasty swirl marks so easy.
Can those with Agate Grey please chime in and let me know how easy it is to keep clean.
It looks like it would hide the dirt pretty well.
I'm in Socal where is rains very little.

Agate Grey Metallic is the best color ever. This is just fact.

I have a 2012 C2S Agate Grey. Terrific color and easy to maintain - much, much easier than black. I will never buy another black car. The metallic aspect of the color makes it much harder to see dirt compared to a solid color like black. It's not as easy to maintain as silver, but not as hard as black.

Cool Targa!

Fjpdds, would you please share your quick review or opinion about the Targa here? Does it have any rattle or squeak from the roof mechanism? I'm asking this, because I'm thinking to trade my C4S with a Targa.

Targa has been fantastic. Zero rattles, very tight,great visibility, and with top closed seems like a coupe to me. (I drove a 991 C4S for a week.) My 997.2 C4S cab was far noisier. With top open mildly more buffeting than cab, but a non-factor. Car is really beautiful...I said it before, it draws a lot of praise.

That is a beautiful 991 Targa... Agate Grey looks amazing! When I swap my 997 for a 991, it'll be for an Agate Grey Targa 4S

fjpdds- you mention that you have great visibility. I'm a bit concerned about the blind spot outward of the 'Targa bar'. Your thoughts?
My Targa 4S arrives first week in December…I'm pumped!!
Your car is a beauty.

I bet it doesn't draw as much praise as your GT3 does.
Both beautiful.

its brownish hue in sunlight hides dust, pollen and kicked up dirt nicely until the next washing !
