    No question. Any metallic color is always far easier to keep clean and even though TDF is not a light blue, it is still much lighter than Pozzi and the lighter the color the easier to maintain. I would consider Blu Pozzi the same as black for maintenance. But it looks like a mirror in the sunlight when it is clean!

    I agree Pozzi is like black in terms of maintaining the finish. But I also think TDF doesn't really wear dirt well. I really hate how it looks when its dirty- it gets flat looking. At least to my eyes. The easiest color is some form of silver.

    Beautiful cars!

    The Blu Pozzi is difficult to keep clean looking. Dark flat colors always is. Have wash it almost every week ...but I don't mind. Keeps the mind off everything else!
    My 488 Rossa Corso Metallic does show dirt has much....but I know it's there:)

    I have two TdF Blue Ferraris. They aren't as hard as black to keep looking clean, but they're not too far behind, either! Fred

    Leave it up to Ferrari to intro a car in an extra $8,000? color. They did the same with the Ferrar California in California Azzurro Blue guaranteeing that not enough of these beautiful cars are built. Haven't seen a Azzurro car in this thread so here is my 360 spyder.

    My old favorite of all these-California Azzurro has now been surpassed by two others-Blue Corsa and absolute favorite Abu dahbi blue. I love the teal tinge. Interestingly, I have a blue Z06 Corvette in a similar color tri-coat color ($1,200 option to return to the real world). It had as teal tinge at night. I have more people absolutely raving about the color.
    This link shows a number of pictures of the same color. Which also shows how hard it is capture blue accurately in pictures. Sadly, very few of eith these or blue Ferraris have tan interiors even though it is a fantastic combination.

    And don't forget California Azzuro Blue (pictured). Hopefully, you get a tan interior with any of them. If you like a little teal, Abu Dahbi is great and very rare.

    Very, very beautiful. Is it Azzurro Metallic the same colour (code) with Avio Metallic?

    Have you got any more pics of the car?

    Thank you in advance.

    I used to debate all these blue colors, until I saw blu elettrico. After seeing that, it's the only blue I would choose. It's stunning.
