My girlfriend wants a red one, so I guess salsa red pearl is a girl color. I still think Black and Galactic Grey look the best. Nothing better than clean and waxed black truck. The galactic grey helps hide more scuffs and swirls so it's easier to maintain, while still having the darker look.

Well given the model year in question I'd have to go with GALACTIC GRAY. Looks awesome in the sun. However, TITANIUM also looks awesome at night. My Titanium SR5 hides dirt really well too.
But where's the love for SHADOW MICA?? Sure it didn't appear until the '06 MY but IMHO it is the best color for a Sport. I see too many silvers around here anyway.

Lighter colors like silver and white look good if the windows are tinted very dark. Otherwise darker colors seem to be favored. If you don't have time to constantly wash/wax a black one, galactic gray is just as nice. My next one won't be black though, that's for sure. I'll probably get white or galactic gray, less maintenance.

The thing I hate about dark colors is the tiny spider web marks. Not swirls from a bad towel or buffer, just the teeny tiny ones that you can't avoid, and that are too microscopic to buff out. No one else can see them, but I can when I get up close. Bugs me lol. All paint has it, no matter how well you take care of it, unless you never touch it.
But even if you don't touch it, the wind can still create them when you drive.

Yeah a Swiffer Duster. They sell the refill pads for like $5 in the cleaner isle. I have a pack in the back for quick wipes. Since my truck is still fairly new, I have dust everywhere from the cloth interior.
Then what I use once every 2 weeks is a protectant spray from Mothers. It cleans it, and also leaves a sealant on the dash to keep it from fading, cracking, etc from the sun.

Not that I know of. Even on the outside, you can't remove the microscopic ones. Even if you take it to a professional detailer.
Also, are you sure they are scratches and not smear marks? Have you tried a window cleaner on it? Don't use windex though, it has Amonia. Use a type that's not harsh, like Mother's, or any other brands that have a non-harsh auto glass cleaner.
You can always try a scratch remover on it. All they do is dull the edges of a scratch so they don't catch light, so it might work on the display too. And I almost want to say I have seen scratch fillers for glass too....not sure though...

All my cars and trucks (with only 1 exception) were black. That was until I got my T4R - the dealer did not have a black one and I needed a truck that week. So I drove home a Titanium.
It was an excellent choice - dirt is barely noticeable, I just wait for it to dry and fall off.
Great money saver :bigok:
