    For those of you who have had to deal with keeping black looking good, would you do it again, or too much hassle?

    Takes me one drive down my road for mine to look like crap. I have 2.5 miles of extremely dry and dusty roads before pavement. I would rather have a white or silver any day. For that matter I would take just about any other color than black

    Had an older retired and somewhat wealthy neighbor who had a black Lexus SUV...

    he said:

    black is a 2nd job, therefore...it should be owned by a young man...or a wealthy man :laugh:

    This says it all... and unfortunately I am neither young nor wealthy. :( Thus the SSM. I can actually stand not washing my truck every week now because it doesn't show dirt as bad. But when black is clean it don't get any better.

    I will say this, BSP looks cleaner a lot longer than straight black vehicles, both my folks have black vehicles (my father is anal-retentive about keeping them clean) and my previous vehicle was black. Somthing about the sand pearl part hides the dirt just a little bit longer.

    That being said, love my black and prob would only trade for white!
