easiest color to Maintain
#16
With silver, even if I wash it under direct sunlight and dont dry, no water marks. No swirl marks, nothing. Easily colour to maintain by far.
My other car is a dark colour sedan with white interior, completely possible. I actually park the silver Porsche outside.

Since you don't care much for silver, consider white. It's somewhat easy to maintain, looks good and I don't see to many around if you want to be a bit different.

I went with Slate Gray for just that reason. Mine is a daily driver and is lucky if gets washed every two or three weeks. It looks good between washes and is just diffrent enough to stand out from all the other silvers and grays.

Just like everyone said...any of the lighter silvers. If you what to be a little different than everyday silver and still have a color easy to keep looking good go look at in person White and Speed Yellow. I had a Hummer in yellow and a vette a long time ago in yellow and they were super easy to keep clean and do not show swirls. I am liking white a lot now and just boaught a Jeep in white and it looks very fresh and clean and does not show swirls.
My Porsche is black and the wifey had to have black and what a pain it is to clean.

I have had 5 silver cars and they are probably the easiest to maintain. On the flip side, they do not look that much better after detailing which to me was dissapointing. I now have seal gray and its not bad. When its dusty it looks good and when its clean it looks amazing. I think it might also be better than silver at hiding little stone cjips. They are pretty obvious on silver. I have clear bra on the 997S.
I love black BUT never again. I am too crazy. By the time you are done detailing one area its already dusty on the other end of the car. YIKES.............

I had a beige Porsche many years ago. Bamboo Beige. It was very easy to keep clean. Of today's colors I suspect the non-metallic "Linen" would be the easiest, without having to choose a silver varient. I saw one in Zuffenhausen this summer that was quite eye-catching. And it came with that reddish interior. Maybe a little over the top for me.

Mine is silver and what's nice is when I'm on a long trip it doesn't look like crap after I go through some rain. My red Cayenne isn't as hard as I thought it would be.

definetly go for the meteor gray, the silver looks terriable compared to the meteor gray. plus when u black out the 19" turbo wheels and tint the windows, the meteor gray will look sick. my guess is that u should probably listen to your son when it comes to picking out colors.

I have Seal Grey, it hides dust/dirt pretty well. But at the same time when I wash/wax it-I can still get that deep liquid like lustre.
All said and done, I wouldn't let a colour change your mind. Except black, I've despised every black car I've had haha.
Cheers,

I dare you to ever find my car unclean...
