"Crystal White Pearl" is the Lexus paint code for, "I hope you enjoyed your car being clean for 13 minutes, because it will soon be covered in bugs."

In the rain, it just changes to a darker white. Take my word, easier to maintain than a dark color.

Could have had them embedded in your rear bumper to match when you had it painted. Kinda like insects in amber.

Buy anything in white and it will go dirty fast.

White car owner complaining about dirt is laughable.

Get a black car and know true pain

fruit fly genocide...

(Shoot a couple coats of cheap spray wax on there at the local coin op do-it-yourself car wash to keep that stuff from sticking before the rains hit.)

I was going to point out roughly the same. A good coat of wax is about all you need for a basic white paint to stay decent looking for a while... A medium-dark grey is better in some ways (aside from swirls), but I swear people can’t see them as well.

There are many reasons that white is the easiest color to maintain on a car...

In his defense, its pearly white paint.

I wish someone would do matte white paint, since it would be so ridiculously easy to maintain...

If it wasn’t so expensive, I’d have my car wrapped in that color...

When I had a black car I thought that. Now I have a white car I have a true appreciation for just how much tar and rubber a road can shed.

Beige or light brown can also be OK, unless from certain angles.

But I think white wins, especially a pearl white, which is already kind of muted.
