This is one of the main reasons I got Tungsten.I can go longer w/out washing and it looks half way decent..It is dirty though..Trust me
We had below freezing temps for about a week and in the 20's for a few nites. The rest of the time it gets down to a chilly 50 degrees

I guess you're like me, and most every other mustanger on this site: what we call "dirty" is seen as "clean" in the eyes of the general public.

BTW, I like how the tungsten looks GREAT when clean, but still looks GOOD even when dirty . I love colors like that. With black, by the time you're done cleaning the car, it's already dirty again. But it does look good for those first 5 minutes or so

My last car was black.I know what you mean. Black is the best looking color by far when freshly waxed

You should see white! You don't even know it's dirty until you wipe your finger on a spot - wow, that's the color of my car?

The funny thing is... the convertible top is totally opposite. Tan is hard to keep clean and looks dirty easier while a black top barely shows any dirt.

I agree with the top issue. I think that tan or white tops look nice on certain colors, but man they get dirty easily, and stay dirty.

Nicest color combo I've seen: BMW 3 series-White w/ Blue top. Purrrrty. German white paint always seems to look "richer" than American paint (but then again, the car is more money too)

I wish they made a blue top for the mustangs. A white w/ blue side stripe shelby with Blue top would look awesome. Instead, they put the black top with the blue stripe

Funny how that freeze line dips down on the west side. I'm about 50 miles north of you on the east side and the coldest we saw was 37 degrees for two nights.

Just ordered my Aeroform Sports Bar this morning! Can't wait to get it - thanks Chuck for putting up this thread so I could get a better look at it. And thanks Mike for giving me the link to the off-season special!!

Chuck - I won't have to sit in your car now. Good thing - wasn't that time of the month for a shower.
