My vote goes to white. Slightly easier. But these 2 colors are still the hardest to maintain among all other colors.

I would prefer white as black cars looks splotchy after a shower in Singapore.
Swirl marks happen when u use normal cloth to wash ur car, and when that happens, u can see circular lines (very light), just like a meteor shower on ur car's paintwork. Very normal, unless u put Toughseal or similar forms of protection on when u get ur ride, but this must be done really ASAP. -
so black will have swirls marking easier ?
so the only diff is the spots after a rain ?
thx ! -

1) Little swirl marks are unavoidable, but can be remove via hand polish
2) Can shine
3) Dust and dirt can be seen clearly after a day
4) Classy
For white:
1) Sporty
2) very hard to maintain
3) After some time, car will turn yellowish(especially the rear exos, bumper area)
4) Oso have swirl marks, but not prominent -
Just to share some experience, I bought a white car principally for reasons of safety - white is much more visible esp in the night. Black is also nice, esp for a large car, but I think black or white are equally good looking when waxed.
Another point; if you don't want to have swirl or scratch marks on the paintwork, avoid cleaning using any rags or cloth. I find it best to clean off dirt and grime using shampoo and then rinsing away with clean water, both by using a soft hair brush with a handle. Drying can of course be done using a clean soft cloth.
