Default Question for camo green guys?

Does the Camo color hide the dirt well...hehehe reason i am asking is because I can get rather lazy and not wash my car for awhile?

Camo hides dirt well, but springtime brought a bunch of yellow pollen that made it look bad every day! Although I think any color other than yellow would have the same problem... for a darker color camoflauge stays pretty clean-looking. Good luck!

well i do have the camo as well. i wash it once a week. it's been raining a lot here in south florida lately and i see all the bugs getting caught in the grill. i don't think it hides dirt well. maybe because i'm just meticulous.

i had a yellow car and it showed the dirt. the best color seems to be white if the dirt comes. black is easy to take care of when you are lazy

Camo doesn't show near as bad as you would think... Since it's kind of a grey/green, it hides the dirt well.. I haven't washed mine in about 3 weeks now, since I've been doing alot of overtime at work.. The only thing that looks bad is the 100million bugs on the front... Regular road dirt, dust, dirt from rain, etc does not show up all that bad... Hope this helps

Default No.

Camo shows.
I had a lime green beetle before, and the brighter color hid dirt better.
This dark color is almost as bad as black.
I imagine silver would hide more than this.

But it's the price you pay for having the coolest color .

think of the baths as bonding time...

I think the Camo hides dirt really well, better than the other colors. And BTW, Black is the WORST color to take care of.

Default hmmm

sorry your getting such mixed reviews here dinkjs.

I think my camo shows every speck of dirt that gets on her!
I may be a bit over zealous but i feel like
washing her twice a week (and sometimes do)
but i guess maybe it depends on the color of the dirt in your area!
In north Florida we get a mix of Ga red clay and yer regular tan dirt.
Its a very light colored mixture that really shows up on my box.
I suppose if you have darker dirt around you might be ok.

bah any way i hope this helps.

I agree with tstrel, and my neighbor keeps saying I am going to wash the paint off. He seems to forget how many times he washed his pos vette when he first got it lol. Personally I think he is jealous because people are paying more attention to my 14k wonder compared to his house mortgage I mean loan on a vette.
