Two months in, the NG is looking good with reasonable effort. Washed at a good commercial place, sealed myself. I've noticed the paint hides dirt well. Lots of brake dust as others have noted but easy enough to clean that. I think NG is a good blend of dark enough to have depth but not crazy level of care like black. My last car was black....never again!

PS - German paint is not harder. I had a 2006 bmw Jet Black and it scratched easily. If you weren't on the bird poo right away it was clay bar time. Brutal.

I've seen lots of MB Ceramiclear vehicles that were swirled and scratched to hell. It was harder to scratch, but definately still scratched and once it was scratched it was VERY hard to correct/ Note MB has stopped using it.

Our G37 Vert has "self healing" paint, and it gets lots more scratches than my GS. And they are hard to remove with claying. Just another gimmick.

black is brutal....but I take our paint over BMWs paint any day. More orange peel than sunkist!
