Default color wisdom on possible '04 coupe

*if* the '04 is a coupe, and *if* i can afford one, (no offense to other colors)
i will probably opt for a black or a white one. i shied away from black in a convertible
because it cannot be put through a "brushless" car wash. a black coupe probably could.
a friend of mine at work has a black golf that he puts through a brushless wash, and it looks
great. no swirls. it would make owning a black one less time-consuming.
what do you think? it would probably look great in any color, but i'm deciding
on black or white. all wisdom welcome!

I guess if that is how you want to keep it clean, I suggest you get a good coat of wax or polymer coating on it to help protect the finish even better. Hand washing any car is best for the car. Plus, a hard spray should never be used on the painted body, only the wheel wells and the underside.

this is the kind of feedback i'm looking for.

the guy with the golf must be taking that kind of precaution.

This will be my last black car unless someone gave me a Ferrari in black. Anyways, good luck in hiding any swirls or scratches on the black paint.
