Hello guys,
Cannot decide between this two colors.
Whats the advantages and disadvantages for each one? ( dirt, looks, maintenance etc...)

I'm not a fan of CW -- to me it looks like a dirty white with strong yellow hues.

PMM looks so good. I was between the same color choices, decided on PMM, and I'm glad I did.

Your choice because it will be you will be driving it. No one else can make the decision.

PMM but I'm biased! The kid had a CW and I found it boring. To each their own. Your car. Your choice.

Champ White hides the swirls and scratches much better than any other colour so when you wash it your not going 'oh not not another one'. It's also the type r colour and looks epic against the black and red trim

On the other hand pmm looks awesome when clean and sparkling, if I got another one though, I'd get a sonic grey one..

So there, I was no help at all..

Sometimes I wish I had picked one of the metallic colors. It's very satisfying to put that top layer of wax on a metallic paint and make it *pop*. Champion White is easy to keep clean but it doesn't ever really *pop*. It just shines harder.

White really hides scratches, swirls, rock chips, etc better than PMM. Although gray is no slouch either.

What pushed me over the top was that Champ White is the heritage color. Exclusivity is kind of neat.

I'm like the guy above, I'm no help at all.

I agree with other facts plus:
CW looks great - this butter white, gives a vintage look. However it looks horrible sprayed around with dirty water/mud when it rains/snow melts.
For this reason I chose PMM. You can wax /ceramic it and will pop out more being a metalic color.

Whichever color you can live with for as long as you own the car. I went with CW because my previous car was a gray and I wouldn't be able to handle a gray vehicle for another 12 years. Whatever's best for you :)

I went in to get a CW CTR...came out with PMM.

Long before, I had seen CW and especially the parts to put on a US spec civic...the white on CW has a hue of yellow.
When I went in and saw the CW, I didn't care for it because it was right next to a normal white civic...which looked better to me, lol

Then the PMM was on the show room floor and looked awesome, so went with that.

Now I have seen CW on it's out on the streets and it does look great...it just depends on what you have it next to, imo...you'll noticed that hue of yellow, whether that bothers you or not, is up to you.

Seeing both in person was definitely helpful for my decision
