Color question?

How hard (or not) is it to care for a BB or RB car? The dealer has RB, BB and Lake Metallic available. I want black, but am afraid it will always look dirty, especially in the winter. Unfortunately, the 225 QC doesn't come in dark gray or it would be an easy decision.

All comments appreciated.

I have RB. It will always look dusty after about 3-5 days.

In rainy weather it's going to be worse, same iwth pollen season and crummy winters. But man, it is just a car, ya know? If you want black, get black. Don't settle for something else because of a little dirt. RB doesn't show the dust as much as BB. THe metallic in it helps to hide it a little, but it's still black and dust/dirt is going to show up more than some other colors, nothing you can do to stop that. It's not hard to stop at an autowash and spray the thing off though. It's worked fine for me during those stretches where the weather keeps me from washing it for a couple of weeks.

"I want black" says it all. It's also easier to find in a lot full of Silver TTs!

Scientific tests have proven that BB is the fastest color!...ask LarryTT...

It is sometimes a pain to keep clean, but it's worth it for the fastest color! If you like a dark gray color, the raven black looks more like gray to me. You'll give up some speed, but go with what you like!
