    I had a super white 1st and no matter how dirty it got, it was still white and looked clean. Kinda regret the MGM decision this round but it sure does look nice when it's clean.....

    I'm a car fanatic and extremely hard to please when it comes to cars and keeping them clean, but my '12 MGM is fairly easy to keep clean. It can have a light layer of dust on it and it's hard to see. I also have an '07 Silver 4Runner and it doesn't show much either.

    Black sand pearl, baby. Just have to keep up with the washing and it's fine. My interior is pretty much spotless and I fully detail it once a month. I give it a bath when necessary. The only thing I have a problem with is trying to get all the mud off of the belly of my truck. That shit's a pain in the ass.

    I am pretty OCD about keeping a clean truck and I live in the country with lots of dust. Very happy with Pyrite Mica. I keep a good coat of wax on it and even when it gets a good layer of dirt on it it still looks pretty clean. Stays clean way longer than the white pre-runner my kid drives.
