Flic Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I wanted grey or black originally, but blue was available the fastest and I fell in love. Personally I think the most striking colour is White, but I just couldn't deal with the dirt on it constantly! Same with the black really.

Same with the black really. i got the supargard treatment inside and out , proberly got mugged off really but considering i saved a lot on my car i cant complain, dealer said the supargard is good to have on white as well , also i hate polishing so just having to wash and not polish for about 3 years is fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think the most striking colour is White, but I just couldn't deal with the dirt on it constantly! Same with the black really. Actually, white is surprising good regarding dirt-resistance. Everybody who doesn't have experience of a white car thinks it'll be terribly hard to keep clean, but actually it can get pretty filthy and still look clean (yes, our Fiesta's white!). Just ask MichellefromEssex - her other half is an expert in these things and she chose white too, with that "inside knowledge"! We'd had a white car years back, so we knew we wouldn't need to worry about it showing the dirt, but then we had a really dark blue metallic, and that dark blue was a total nightmare to keep looking clean (it was nearly as dark as a black car). Though dark colours do look lovely on Fiestas too and most of the owners here are willing to lavish lots of care and attention on them! White cars seem quite rare at the moment (at least in the Midlands) though I notice a lot of the other makers are starting to push them a lot in adverts at the moment so maybe we're starting a fashion! An email penpal of mine tells me it's the most popular car colour in Australia - has been for ages (just a spot of trivia there...!).

jma78b Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I had a white triumph dolomite before. I think they look great in the summer but in the winter I think they look cold. Just my opinion. I love my black car. It looks great with all its chromy bits and the lights. It just stands out more. I also like the morello which would have been my 2nd choice.

MichellefromEssex Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I think the frozen white is such a weird but wonderful white, its slightly illuminous, I feel I glow in the dark at night lol, around this part of Essex I have only seen 2 more white ones and one of them is Rob.

To be honest the best colour I have ever had for not showing the dirt was silver which I had on a complany car - it could go for months without being washed and you could not tell. I am hping that squeeze is going to be the same as once the initial excitment has warn off then my cars tend to go from being washed once a week to once a month . . . .

mogwai Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 i got the supargard treatment inside and out , proberly got mugged off really but considering i saved a lot on my car i cant complain, dealer said the supargard is good to have on white as well , also i hate polishing so just having to wash and not polish for about 3 years is fine It doesn't last for 3 years. From when I had it on a golf and I had my valeting chap give it sort out he said it only lasts for a few months. You would be better off just waxing the car to protect it. As it should not need to be polished on a regualr basis anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny87 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Thats a bit crap! Personally i decided not to get the diamondbrite, but it comes with a "lifetime guarantee". The more I hear about these sealants, the happier I am that I didnt get it done!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flic Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I really don't understand the whole diamondbrite thing, I had it on my car and I'm using the shampoo and paint conserver everytime I wash the car (which is twice now) when, if ever should I wax it? I keep hearing different things!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flic Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 You dont wax diamondbrite. All you should do is wash it with the conserver. Also don't polish it. Is that forever though? What happens if I do wax it? Car will fall apart?! lol I'm not overly bothered, the conserver does a good job after a bit of a buff. It's a right pain to get off the windows though! <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a right pain to get off the windows though! <_< you could wax it, but then the conserver wouldnt be able to contact with the sealant. Apparantly it has a "lifetime guarantee" so you should only have to use the conserver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flic Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I'm hoping I made the right decision in getting it now I went with it based on the fact my Dad had it on his Focus Zetec-S from brand new which clocked up 100k+ motorway miles in the 8 years he had it and his paintwork was mint when he got rid of it, I severely doubt he used the correct maintenance on it too...

Jonny87 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Well this whole thing was on my mind for weeks. In the end I decided not to get it. Still not 100% that that was the right decision, time will tell. It does mean that I will have to wax my car. And I have never done that before in my life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
