Compared to black and white colors, is carbon grey much more easier to keep clean ??

Here are some photos I took a few months ago after its first proper detail.

Started by washing as normal and then brought the car into the garage to cool off a bit. Then used Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection (a paint sealant) for the first time. VERY impressed with this stuff and according to others who have used it, it should last 3-6 months depending on weather and environment. Let that "cure" overnight and then waxed the car with Meguiar's Gold carnauba. The beauty of this regimen is that the wax is on top of the sealant so there's extra protection. Given that I park my car outside all the time, I'm very happy to have these extra layers.

But enough of the talking, you're all here for pics. Finally took my D7000 out for a couple of photos and very pleased with the results. Enjoy!

CSG has to be the best color, hope that VW will make it part of the Golf color line up.
In the near future or I'll just have to go for a GTI.
