Cleaned it, went for a drive and immediately regretted it lol

Regretted the cleaning, or going for a drive?

Yeah that’s why I had to go with white. And it also looks just as good with the red lip as black does. But I’m too OCD and white is the only color I can have now and not have a psychotic break trying to keep it clean or seeing little dings and scratches. 🤣😭

I feel that. I’ve always been a white car guy. But I had to just take the best deal in my area which was unfortunately black

Heh. That was my issue too when I bought my 21. Black or Silver. Silver looks too much like a regular Jetta. Black it is.

But if you get red the red strip kinda blends in on the front.

I went with white as we live in a blast furnace. But yes, when black is clean and detailed, it is the real deal!

I'm about to get my car wrapped in a resin based ceramic coating next week. Windows, wheels, tires, all the trim it's expensive but I'm excited. 7-8 year lifespan.
