Default That is what I have and it IS the easiest to keep clean over any color I have ever owned.

Default Have the same combo on my avant...

Not as clean as I thought it would be. Dust seems to collect quickly, especially on the back. In addition, drove through some mist/fog the other day and I noticed pretty significant streaking along the side of the car.

But regardless, I think its a sick combo (white/blk-alc), but I'm biased =)

Default our cashmere gray A6 is WAY easier.

same with our old silver F150....I think I washed it maybe twice in 6 months, but it never looked dirty.

white seemed to get a subtle "2-tone" look to it after about a week (dirt below the beltline).
