Harder color to keep clean...Artic Blue or Black?

Been debating and I have narrowed it down to either the blue or the black

I like the black becuase when it's clean it looks awesome BUT I know from experience black is a royal pain to keep clean...especially since I park my car outside. So I looked at the blue which I like because u dont see too many of them around...and with the right modifications blue would look amazing.

But is blue just as hard to keep clean as the black? Does it show scratches, chips, etc as easily?

Thanks guys

ah, so you decided to go with a TSX over a TL, Pat?

the black is harder to keep clean, by far.

lol yea. I sat down and really thought about it...and for what I' be using it for the TSX made more sense. I do alot of driving so I want something that I can zip around town in. Payments looks like they are gonna be like $100 less a month so that sweetened that pot.

I have NHB, bitch to keep clean, but i think that glossy shine when it is clean makes up for everything.

I agree, Black is much harder to keep clean in almost all cars, especially the TSX...

I have pwp and I hate seeing rust spots (small shavings of metal get stuck on the paint and start rusting). I spent 6 hours claying my car to get rid of them. Now they're gone and the paint feels like glass!

If you are basing purely on ease to keep clean. The blue is hands down. However, as previously said, black is the nicest color when clean, especially with a set of RJ inspyres polished and an OEM bodykit. I drool over that pic on the RJ website.

I believe the white on black is available in Canada if i'm not mistaken.

Actually, the black/parchment has faux wood accents on the interior, not the faux metal.
