My vote goes to white. Slightly easier. But these 2 colors are still the hardest to maintain among all other colors.

I would prefer white as black cars looks splotchy after a shower in Singapore.

Swirl marks happen when u use normal cloth to wash ur car, and when that happens, u can see circular lines (very light), just like a meteor shower on ur car's paintwork. Very normal, unless u put Toughseal or similar forms of protection on when u get ur ride, but this must be done really ASAP.

For black:
1) Little swirl marks are unavoidable, but can be remove via hand polish
2) Can shine
3) Dust and dirt can be seen clearly after a day
4) Classy

For white:
1) Sporty
2) very hard to maintain
3) After some time, car will turn yellowish(especially the rear exos, bumper area)
4) Oso have swirl marks, but not prominent

Just to share some experience, I bought a white car principally for reasons of safety - white is much more visible esp in the night. Black is also nice, esp for a large car, but I think black or white are equally good looking when waxed.

Another point; if you don't want to have swirl or scratch marks on the paintwork, avoid cleaning using any rags or cloth. I find it best to clean off dirt and grime using shampoo and then rinsing away with clean water, both by using a soft hair brush with a handle. Drying can of course be done using a clean soft cloth.
