The lighter colors are much easier to keep. Black and Reds are the hardest to keep. White and Silvers are the easiest.
First Corvette, living on my dirt road, was Arctic White. Easiest to keep clean. Learned why so many pickups and SUVs in AZ are white. Second light pewter wasn't too bad. Dust almost matched!
Latest Torch Red is almost as bad as black! .
Still important you get the color you want. I couldn't warm up to my last color. Lost a little Corvette passion. Even though Torch Red is harder to keep clean, I LOVE it!
I also live on a dirt road and its at 7000 feet. i do not take it out in the rain due to the muddy roads and not out in the snow, also due to the muddy roads. I currently have 3 vettes, a vy GT1 Z06, a black GT1 coupe, and a cg vert. i wash the cars before i leave the house assuming its warm enough and i dust or wash the car when i get back home. I hate the dirt road, been here 20 years. Mine is a county road and i've been tryin to get them to pave it for 20 years. last fall they came out and spent about 2 months surveying the road and charting everyones driveway in preparation to pave it this summer. I will believe it when i see it.
I tolerate the dirt and try and keep my cars as clean as i can but try not to be too much of a slave to cleaning it. I'd rather drive them dirty than not at all. 18 inches of snow last weekend and supposed to get another foot this weekend. All this equals MUDDY roads.
