Really like this Watkins Glen Grey as it's LOADED with silver flake. It actually takes on a different color as you can see with the sun setting the color now takes on a gold or bronze look. I think it's AWESOME !
👍👍👍

Nice

Does anyone have have pics of WGG vert with grey top, AR interior, chrome wheel with red calipers? I'm thinking about trading my 14 black coupe.

Default Cleaning

I have black and black 2014. Really tough to keep clean. I'm going to order a 2018 vert- thinking about WGG, AR int, grey top. Does anyone have an opinion on keeping WGG clean and does it show dirt easily?It will be garaged. The black one has dust on it in the garage the next day after detail.

WGG does show the dirt worse than other colors, but black is in an entirely different league when it comes to keeping clean. It doesn't show dust badly, but depending on color of the dirt (ie - pollen, ash, etc.) the dirt can be very easy to see.

It probably shows the dirt more than the other colors. My last Vette was silver, so I can say the WGG definitely shows dirt more than that. Overall though, I don't feel like it's all that bad. And it's an absolutely beautiful color, especially in the sun.

You didn't mention your wheels preference, but for me the black wheels are harder to keep clean than I had anticipated. My silver Vette had silver painted wheels, and they weren't too bad to keep clean. The black wheels on my GS do require a lot more attention to keep clean.

Oh, I forgot to mention that the black wheels are worth it, imo. They look outstanding with the WGG.

We've had several Corvettes in various shades of silver and gray, and the WGG definitely shows the dirt more than any of the others we've owned. As stated above, black is much harder to keep looking good compared to WGG.
