Show me your dirty car

Today I went to look at a Garnet Red Tintcoat 1LE. I was convinced that Garnet Red was the color for me. When I got there though, the car was dirty. I was very unimpressed with the color. It looked blah. There was a Hyper Blue car on the lot, and it looked gorgeous, but it was clean.

So show me pictures of your dirty car. Help me decide if they all look blah when dirty, or not.

no matter what color its going to look bad when dirty. They should have washed it for you. I wanted a garnet red 1LE. Garnet red looks great with black hood and wheels https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=473354

Wow! That's dirty!"

Still looks bad-ass. I guess black can carry off dirt.

This. I have garnet red, a neighbor has a friend with a hyper blue 1SS, and they both look ravaging when clean and meh when (very) dirty. Red is my personal preference, but these two colors both stand out in depth and cool factor with the metallic flakes. Mosaic black is absolutely there, too, but next to impossible to keep clean.

Define dirty. Here's my car three weeks since it was last washed. It's my daily driver.

I can't stand to see it dirty, so it gets washed at least weekly. HBM still looks good with some dirt though, but it loses dept to the color.

Only dirty pic I have... The offender paid for the repairs... But dry dust isn't terrible... Road grime from rain isn't an issue with the ceramic coating... We'll see how she does this winter, lol.

It scratched the ceramic coating... Without the coating the paint would have been scratched, lol. It was just light enough that only dry dust would make it show. This is a few days after... Washed it, and tried a hand wash in case it was just residual finger oils, lol. Got it polished down a couple layers, and recoated to even it out.
