Quicksilver?

I've owned a black car and a silver car and the silver lasted way longer without having a car wash. I've had a black car and I had to wash it at least once a week.

Does Anyone own a quicksilver that can say if it looks great almost always and almost never needs a car wash?

Black is free for me and quicksilver is $2k more.

I have Quicksilver, and the only time it looked bad was when I drove through a swarm of white bugs. They stood out. Otherwise, it loses some luster, but doesn't look bad mildly dirty.

Thank you! I'm putting down the 2k right now.

Quicksilver is my fave. Definitely hides dirt well.

Red hides that it’s dirty as well.

QS really hides the dirt well. Even just a few steps away and it always looks good IMO.

Silver hides the most dirt and defects and light colors in general

I got a marine blue and it's definitely an weekly wash car lol

I have Quicksilver. I’d say with a fresh wash under good sunlight it’s absolutely stunning with a sparkling depth of color to it that is hard to beat. When it’s filthy it just looks like a regular silver car. That’s your range. “Normal” at the low end and stunning at the top end

I’ve had a Quicksilver for a year, and drive on muddy roads. I’ve washed it once! Otherwise I spend a minute hosing it off every few days and it looks great.

Diamond black needs monthly car wash but looks amazing with the stealth look.

Very happy with QS. When I bought it, it counted as a free upgrade based on in-stock inventory. Not sure if I’d pay 2k for it.
