No.

With black cars, you see everything. Dust, swirls, scratches, everything.

All cars get dirty the same amount.

Black shows more dirt and also shows scratches and swirl marks a lot easier.

If you want to keep a Black car swirl free, you gonna put in a lot of detail time.

OTOH - you'll never get that super deep, wet-looking, shine on a White car that you can on Black. You can make it look really good, but not as mirror-like as Black.

Absolutely not, my black RSX-S was probably one of the hardest cars to keep clean. Everything shows on black. I'm embarrassed to say when the last time I washed my WDP TL was....

Any white car I've owned has been neglected more than most. I had one black car, and I swore that was end of that. White will show the dirt as much as any other when up close, but from a distance a white car will not show that detail unless it is really bad. A white car works out perfect for a lazy owner like myself.
