Take heart, next week is spring so dust off your keys and just drive that car 😂😂

after having had a black macan in the past I've come to the conclusion that sapphire blue must be THE easiest colour to keep clean. No matter what the conditions are, from a short distance the SD I've got always looks clean enough.

This is a shame, because when you see the tires, you don't really noticed how clean are the other parts.

Rhodium yes, that is what I wanted but the Mrs wanted black.

Now at least she is starting to help clean it.

Worst colour to keep clean, moot point but I used to regularly see a carmine GTS and that was scruffy, permanently, it was never washed, it certainly never looked like the images you guys posted.

At least when dirty my black Macan looks like a VG.

And my VG looks almost spotless - at least from the waist upwards. :roll: :lol:
