Default Why Seal Grey is the BEST color



Over the last four weeks I've been commuting into the Tysons Corner area of the Washington DC Metro region. The place if filthy with construction work as they extend the regions mass transit rail out to Dulles Airport. Cars get lots of dirt and dust on them just driving anywhere near the constriction zones.

Yesterday I was thinking of washing the car before taking the wife to dinner. Backed it out of the garage, wiped down the glass, cleaned a couple dead bugs off the car, and pulled it back in... Couldn't tell that the car had been through that mess... Last night we got caught in a rain storm on our way to dinner, and the rain carried over during our meal... Drove the car home, inspected it for rain spots... NONE evident... This morning I get back in the car and make a coffee run and fill her up with fuel... While she's filling up I'm walking around the car trying to decide if I'm going to wash her today. Guy next to me says "Man that thing is sharp, recently detail it?"

She's going back in the garage!

Another vote for Seal Grey, but I am biased as well.

Ultimate low maintenance, and the rubber marks probably don't show as much as on mine. But then you wouldn't kwow, cause you've got that other beast for the track. Love it.

Absolutely hardly shows dirty and dust, plus when cleaned it looks WET.. When detailed??? The paint is just liquid, like it's dripping off the car Best color indeed, i swear i'm not biased
