Default if you living in a place with lots of rain better to wash it every 5 days

but if you are in a place that mostly sunny
you can wash your car every 2 weeks
and a Car duster help black cars a lot

Default if you don't like cleaning get silver

black to keep swirl free and clean is the most high maintenance color you can get

typical cleaning for black full detail monthly (cleaner/glaze/wax), Cleaning min weekly

Silver on the other hand is very low maintenance

Default Hard to keep clean (more)

But looks great when it is clean. Black is sporty and elegant at the same time. I have a black 99.5 and a black 03 on order.

If you can stand your car being dirty it doesn't really matter what color you get

Default Depends on weather.

Worse (well, not really) case is cleaned every weekend. Otherwise, wipe the rims and a duster works wonders. Love the BB.
