Hey guys so I am curious about flat red or metallic blue and which is going to hold up longer. I do like to take my car through car wash occasionally especially in winter. Any thoughts?

Agreed. Definitely don't let car wash brushes touch your car. And if you do wash it yourself, lean how to do a 2 or 3 bucket wash to avoid swirl marks.any paint going to a car wash with brushes isn't going to look very nice. I always advise others to stay away from drive through car washes unless it's the brushless ones. Those big brushes spin and trap dirt..then when it comes to your cat it spins and hits your car with the dirt..I've seen many vehicles with scratches come out of those washes. Either wash it yourself or find a brushless wash.
To help avoid swirl marks also make sure the car is always waxed so dirt can be cleaned off easily when cleaning without having to rub hard.Agreed. Definitely don't let car wash brushes touch your car. And if you do wash it yourself, lean how to do a 2 or 3 bucket wash to avoid swirl marks.
Having had taffeta white on my last accord, and metallic colors on other cars. The metallic colors are usually dual stage while the non-metallic are single stage without a clear coat.
I would not own another non-metallic color, as I kept very good care of the taffeta white and it would dull/oxidize pretty quickly and stain easily which were harder to get off. The only benefit to the non metallic colors is they can be rejuvenated easier through different buffing processes.
