White cars are easier to keep clean b/c they don't show imperfections in the paint like darker colors show. And in the winter, the salt is white and so is your car. The only problem would be that dirt and other stuff would get on the car, but that can be easily cleaned. The hard stuff is trying to get scratches and stuff out, which isn't such a problem with a white car since you won't be able to see them as easily.

White hard to keep clean?
White is easy. Try black, you wash it then take a min to look at and enjoy the look of a nice clean car and already looking at a bunch of dust.

If you like the color, go for it. White doesn't show many swirls and dust like darker colors. You won't get as much reflection as from darker colors, but white can provide some good reflections with the right care. To me, you can't go wrong with black, Silver, red, or white, all are pimp.

You're right, every color shows swirl marks if hit with the right light. But I was saying it doesn't show up as badly as on darker colors. You take a heavily swirled black car and a heavily swirled white car, the black one will look worse. I love black but it is a chore to keep up. Good thing I love detailing.

Im the same way but black is my all time fav. I have a Frost White 6th gen and the only problem i have with dirt and dust is it ALWAYS collects on the back part of my car i dont know why. No matter who much ill clean the car the back part will be dirty the next day. White covers alot of imperfections, i have dents and dings all around my car and you can only see them if you look at it in the right angle.
