    I think this may be the case, 'color-specific' product or not. Have had 3 different coatings on my black daily driver since 2017, each had a slightly different 'look' to it. First one had a kinda 'thick', molten gloss look to it, Second had better depth, a bit less sharpness & 'reflectivity' but a warmer glow to it and the latest on is *very* reflective. The latest coating *looks* cleaner from 5 ft away than the other 2 did when I haven't washed it in a while although up close it is still somewhat 'dirty', a relative term in the eyes of an OCD-ish person.

    I'd say that to the average person who watched the 3 over that time, they would say the 3rd coating 'keeps the car cleanest for the longest period of time between washes' even though the dirt accumulation is likely equal among the 3 given similar circumstances.

    It's almost like the increased sharpness and reflective nature of the 3rd coating visually 'burns' through any light dirt on the surface.

    22ple HPC, Kamikaze Miyabi/ISM & SPS Graphene.

    I believe 2017 the black Corvette started the Summer with WG Uber, then Feynlab Ceramic for a bit and then finally ended the season w Kami Miyabi/ISM.
