Ammonite coupe with black pack? (yes, a "Help me choose" thread)
Really having trouble with color selection. Have only seen Polaris and ultimate black in person because that's all the local dealer keeps ordering.
As the owner of a black car, I have resolved to never own another black car. Looks dirty all the time (snow and salt on the roads for 3.5-4 months every year, and if it's not snowing it's raining multiple times per week), and shows a crapload of swirls.
I tend to wash my car every 1-2 months (I am the type of person who would hand-wash a car weekly, but simply don't have the time, and my wife would probably kill me). I hand wash most times, but in the winter I simply have to cave for the automatic once or twice to get the salt off and not freeze my ***** off (I've also never figured out how people who hand wash get salt off the underbody).
My three favorite colors right now are Polaris, IRR, and ammonite. I threw in the last one because I was thinking the gray might do a decent job of not looking filthy. I've never had a white or red car, so the maintenance necessary to keep those colors looking good is unknown to me. Rumor has it that white is pretty low maintenance.
Poked around on the internet and can't definitively find an ammonite coupe with black pack to see what that looks like. Some listings say ammonite, but the car pictured is clearly a 2015.
Pictures to help, or thoughts on any of the above?
Thanks!

I don't recommend IRR for you if you're going to wash it every two months. I feel like it needs to be washed biweekly at least.
Honestly, I start hating myself, my car, and the world, if I don't wash it weekly. It still looks nice dirty. I think it looks better dirty than most other colors when they're clean, but the difference between IRR when dirty and IRR when clean is staggering.
Just my opinion.

The '05 is Silver. In rainy Washington it will go a month without washing and still looks good. And people don't even write 'Wash Me' in the back window. I do wash the tires once a week if they need it. They show dirt long before the body.
The black S600 needed washing before I finished washing it.

I think you should focus on how to rinse off your car with a power washer and a coat of Rejex or another polymer film that will enable your car to rinse clean quickly. It takes me 15 minutes to do a rinse job. Go for a 80 mph drive and force-dry her.
Get the color you want. Never select a color based on dirt hiding. This is a sports car.
If you don't like white (I think the sexiest color for the F), look for the special edition blue. I saw one in person with the brown interior and it was shockingly sexy. There were literally a crowd of employees and patrons surrounding this one car as they revealed it the day i happened to be at the dealer. It got all the attention among rows and rows of F's. People who know Jags appreciate the rarity of this color but coupled along with the rich milk chocolate brown or white leather interior....Yum!
Oh - white leather interior to a dirt freak....wont work.
