Keeping the orange clean!

[Guru]

Got around to giving the 4 a much needed wash today. I really love the colour but it turns out that orange really shows the dirt! I wouldn't have gone for another colour but it's really high maintenance for those of us that normally only wash our cars when the number plate can't be read anymore

Anyway quick couple of pics.........

It’ll stay cleaner if you keep it out of ploughed fields

Edit - looks well though, nice pics

Red is pretty hard to keep clean too. Compared to my wife's grey car the dirt really shows up. Worth it to me though as when she's clean though it pops!

I'm finding my Orange Trophy gets really dirty too, especially with all the muck on the road this time of year. Also the black side panels at the bottom are starting to look a bit scuffed and grey, and the piano black panels by the windows are showing a few scratches. I still love the car and the colour choice though!

Orange! Luxury - you want white if you want to clean at least weekly and of course always garage over night. Going to be a real problem if I change my electric tariff.

I think they are all bad this time of year but also depends on where you drive it, city driving is cleaner than country & fast A roads or motorway unfortunately mine only stays clean for the trip to work?

I'm finding my white needs cleaning every couple of weeks.

Hopefully see you around Norfolk some time!

Had my Orange ceramic coated was a bit dubious at first but has made an incredible difference the durst just falls off

Have it coated. Much easier

Is it expensive? Ceramic coated I'm assuming?
