How do you guys maintain black? I always keep my cars clean, but black seems like a lot more work, especially in Illinois with snow, ice, salt, and lots of rain.
What's your second choice after black?
Lighter colors are going to get/show stains worse. I don't particularly like the two or three color tone interior you get with the light colors. With black you just have black and gray. The only maintenance I see is that black shows lint and leaf particles in the carpet more, but once a week with the little shop vac and that's taken care of. For the leather, a cleaning and conditioning with Lexol keeps it looking nice and matte finished and soft.
