Holy crap that's the worst pinstriping I've ever seen. They're terrible in general, but that's the most half-assed I've seen.

The gray is badass. I thought about getting that one, but my wife's Elantra is the same color and I didn't really want matching cars. lol. My previous car was black and I think the Aegean Blue actually shows more dirt than the black. I don't mind though because when it's clean, it looks amazing. That's just more incentive for me to clean it more often.

If you like the black, get it. Don't worry about the dirt. Just tend to it on a regular schedule. Personally, I think black on this car mutes the aggressive lines. Still looks good though. It's a win/win.

So I went with black on black. They didn't have a gray EXL. Good news, I got one without the awful pinstriping. I guess now I need to invest in some good chemical guys products. Not used to cleaning a car often, so I want to make it as easy as possible. I was thinking a foam cannon? Educate me

Foam cannons are ok, but somewhat gimicky. IMHO, much better to spend money elsewhere.

Look into a high pressure washer (to save on water), a Griot's Garage dual action polisher, and read/watch up (youtube) on claying, rough polish, fine polish, sealant/wax. I recommend BlackFire Wet Diamond for a sealant. Also, buy a large container of ONR (Optimum No Rinse) to use as a lubricant during claying and for quick washes/touch-ups: it's the best value money can buy.

My new touring is the dark grey... I really liked the white but like the black, any dirt shows easily (though not nearly as much as the black)

The burgundy was really nice, in the showroom. Problem is it's too dark, and once you get any dirt or dust on it (literally minutes) it looks black.

The salesman I was working with showed me a lot of the cars and stuff and a car we were looking at I kept referring to it as black and he said no, its burgundy.

I think they need to bring the colour out a bit more for sure.
