I have it... not thrilled. As usual I was in a hurry and took what I could find.
Super hard to keep clean.
I only really see the platinum tri-coat sparkles when the truck is spotlessly clean and the sun is bright.
Most of the time I see streaks and grime and dust and dirt.
Not to diss anyone's choice, but just not for me. If I could snap my fingers and turn it black I would.
That said, I went in with my eyes open and wouldn't start a thread here to complain about it...
but since you asked...

Funny on my last truck I thought it [Platinum White] was easy to keep clean. Current truck is Magma Red and ive washed it twice in 1,200 miles, wish I had a garage.

The white Platinum was my first choice in color. It may show winter dirt when it's very dirty on the roads but stays clean for a long time otherwise. Shows almost no scratches etc like darker colors. Sure other colors may pop more but the WP matches any trailer etc also.

sounds like a plan, thanks! Or i might just let the detail shop do it when i get it ceramic coated. They'll have to decontaminate and do a paint correction before applying

I always had to buy white trucks for work. Foreman drove white trucks for the pipeline contractor so everyone would move out of the way for white trucks only. I really didn’t want a white truck again but got stock with limited stock left in September 2018. I was originally looking at magnetic but now the ignot silver is really growing on me. The nice thing about white, no swirl marks ever. White hides all the little scratches and imperfections. It is a boring colour to have but if you add black accents, it really stands out. I love black vehicles but with my dusty area, it’s dirty before you even get it dry after a car wash.
