Which colour shows the dirt?

I have a black one and it's horrendous for showing dust and dirt. Within a few days of having the car cleaned it looks like it needs another wash!

I remember when only colour was black.

Ford Model T?

Overall I don't find Blue too bad - however the "dip" in the bonnet/hood seems to gather dirt after the moisture gathers there and pulls pools of cr ap into it that cant escape.

There's something about the shape of the car that seems to attract dirt on the back. My car looks reasonably clean, apart from it's rear end which looks like it's been on a farm.

unless there's a good spoiler on the rear roof, directing air down the back of the car. air is sucked up from underneath the car, with all the dust with it. That's why on an ICE vehicle any rear seal fault is an issue, you can fill the car with carbon monoxide.

Now I have power washed my Orange after getting it delivered and removing the hidden delivery grime I find it looks quite clean.

You can say crap - no need to disguise it.

General point. Don't try to disguise vulgar words. If the word isn't on the list of naughty words you're safe anyway, and if you want to say it, have the guts to say it in clear and don't come over all prissy. If it IS on the list of naughty words and you type it in clear, you're still safe because the autocensor will catch it and asterisk it out. You won't get any penalty.

However, if you part-disguise a word on the naughty list, you are liable then to get a penalty for an incompletely disguised profanity. So don't. OK?

Cleaned both our cars today. The white one was far easier to clean because you can actually see the dirt on it. The dark red was such a pain, when drying it I came across areas that I obviously didn't do such a great job on!
