Black is the hardest color to keep clean and looking great, period! CG won't be nearly as bad.

Cyber Grey
Do you guys think the cyber grey is as hard to keep as black. I didnt think so but another guys said you might as well get black. I have blade silver and it is so easy to keep nice that I am spoiled and not sure about my next color choice.

Blade Silver is probably the easiest color there is to keep looking clean (even when it's not). As for Cyber Grey - the final dry process is far easier on CG than it is on Black. You can gently wipe the CG down after a bath and the color hides a multitude of sins you simply could not get away with on Black.

CG is no where near black when it comes to effort to keep clean. I'd say it is right in the middle of silver and black. If you like a darker color that has a great wet look and shine but don't want to put forth the insane effort it takes to keep black looking nice then CG is for you.

If i was to ever buy another non black car again it would definatley be the CG. Looks almost as good as black after a wash and stays looking that way for a lot longer. I for one am a big fan of that color.

CG is an amazing color. After a fresh wash it will still look great 4-5 days down the road as long as it hasnt rained. Up close you can notice the dust but 5 feet away and it disappears.
When the sun hits it the blue undertones come out depending on the angle. My previous C5 was silver but I much prefer the CG

Had a '08 black coupe and now how a 09 Cyber Grey coupe, I can assure you that there is no comparison between black and Cyb Grey. The Grey Grey really does not show dirt as much as you would think. And when its clean it looks fantastic!

I had actually thought I was going to get black. When I first saw the Cyber Gray in the showroom, I really did not care for it. Then I looked at another one sitting in a lot in the sun, and saw the blue. Plus I think the body lines "pop" a little more on the darker colors.
Then it became a "MUST" have color for me. The dust blends with the metallic, so it does stay a little cleaner longer. And I have been doing blue accent colors now and I really like it.

I like Cyber Grey, but you really can't beat Blade Silver for ease of care.
I have to remind myself to regularly use the dust mop on it because you can't see the brake dust until you brush against the car and get it on your pants.

There was a silver Vette next to mine in the show room. They Cyber Gray has so much more color, especially when the sun hits it. Not hard to keep clean. My last truck was black and I won't go back...
