Default Floret silver or Navarro blue for the sq5 2018

hey Guys,

which would you prefer florett silver silver or the Navarro blue for the sq5?

Afraid for the Navarro blue the swirl marks and small
scratches would show more compared to the silver

I prefer the silver. Especially if you are concerned about swirl marks and scratches. I parked next to a Navarro blue in overcast weather a few days ago and it looked surprisingly dull and it showed every scratch/dirt. The blue looks good in bright sunshine and when clean.

If those are the 2 choices, I would vote blue. I have a silver SUV, owned 3 others, and while it's better at hiding love marks, they never really do anything for me. It's a boring color to me, and certainly not exciting. I own Navarro and I like it. I would also consider Red and Black. I also hand wash, correct and detail my own cars.

thanks for the input guys!

Still a a hard decision! I will own this car for many years to come. But don’t have time to hand wash my own car and wax. Not when you have a kid

i choose the blue, reason being the blue changes its tone under different lighting. quite a chameleon!

If you are looking for low maintenance then yes, Silver or White is what I would go for, not the blue (and I have the blue, it's not low maintenance IMO). I've had 4 silvers and they don't make me crazy like richer colors for sure.

If you live where it snows and the roads are salted, silver is the way to go. Salt shows less and the residual left after rain clears it is virtually invisible. When the summer sun rolls around silver with a light grey interior is more comfortable.

I posted my pic of my car in Navarro blue (q5) a few days ago. I will tell you that my car is stopping people to look at it, and are raving about my colour, you won't get that with silver. The blue looks brilliant in direct sun and as others said it does change tone depending on the light since it's metallic. I personally would go with the blue or the nice candy red that another user posted.... My two cents.

Edit: I found my link:
