Stonewashed blue

Anyone here got this colour? I swear it is the worst colour for showing the road muck and grime. It’s also the wife’s favourite ID3 colour. She will only wash things which go into the washing machine though.

Yup - I've had that colour for nearly a year now. I've not noticed it to be any worse for showing muck than the dark blue Golf I had before it TBH. In fact, I steered clear of getting a white ID.3 in favour of the stonewashed blue because I thought white might be too hard to keep clean. In practice though, I reckon the thing that shows the most muck is the back of the car, which is always mostly black on the ID.3 regardless of the chosen body colour. 😂

Edited to add a picture of my car taken just now - and which has not been washed in 3 weeks! :rolleyes:

Surprised to hear you say that. I dearly wanted that colour but the lady wife supplies the artistic input in our family and insisted on Manganese Grey. No, it's not black, really it isn't. Now here's a dirt magnet for you!

Fortunately she doesn't seem too bothered if it looks dirty. Sadly the hand car wash near us has shut down. We are to get a bigger and better Co-op instead. Personally I am physically and psychologically allergic to washing cars.

Ah, such is life!
