What do you guys think would be an easier color for dust and hiding lil blemishes if that should happen and needing possible touch up. Guards red or white.

I've had both...red 996 and white 991...both are ok but probably red is easier for dust and dirt...

I have had both and white is, by far, the better color to hide dirt and to do touch-up on! Red shows almost as much as black!

Thanks Mark

red easier than white
not close

991GTS

I've had two black (Panamera and C2) and one white (GTS). Obviously black is the worst. I can't speak to red but the white is great so far. No complaints.

rock chips are worse on red since you see whatever the under material is to the paint easier but otherwise similar for dirt dust. I have a 20 foot long bright red old Cadillac so I certainly know what that is like. Rest of cars are white(ish).

Red will show swirls marks more than White.

This. Red is almost as prone to swirls as black. It may not show in bright sunlight but up close at night under artificial light, red that isn't cared for will look horrible.
I've used only microfiber towels on my 47K mile Guards Red 991, other than a few chips and "peppering" on the front bumper, it still looks great.

I think white is much easier to maintain.

Another vote for white. Mine was paint corrected and Opticoated and it looks perfect anywhere, in any light.

The darker the color the harder to maintain. White will hide swirl marks better than darker color. As what they say, "Black is the best and the worst". I've got black, red and white. Black the best, for me, if it is just recently detailed. Red is just classic Porsche color. White less hassle to maintain.

I will never do black again. Love the color but it's too much work for me. Drive one hour where I live and u see dust
