Wrap colors that hide dirt (and ones that show everything)

Mid-tone grays, silvers and darker metallics hide dust and water spots best; gloss black and pure white show every mark.

Which car colors hide dirt best?

• Best: gunmetal, nardo gray, silver, bronze, mid greens.
• Worst: gloss black (shows dust and swirls), pure white (shows road grime), and any matte (shows fingerprints).

Why does gloss black look dirty so fast?

Its dark, reflective surface makes dust and fine scratches stand out under any light. It's stunning right after a wash and demanding the rest of the time.
