I guess my 2nd choice would be silver but i dunno... i love how black looks.
My silver JY faded like a mo-fo. My black (yes, black in AZ) Dodge Dakota faded like a mo-fo too. Every black or silver Chrysler product in AZ seems to fade like, well, you know.

I'm hoping my Rescue Green will last, but I'm a bit concerned why Jeep discontinuted it.

Silver and grey are two of the absolute worst colors for holding up. Always have been. I don't know what it is. I have never seen a silver or grey that lasted a long time....that was NOT garaged or covered regularly. It's just the nature of the beast.

Do all the colors have a clearcoat or UV protection?

A friend of mine is wanting red and i've been wanting black but we both want to keep these for 10+ years and want them to look good for as long as possible.
i would like to think mine ,don't wax or wash (how many washes can a soap bar take?)

IMO, nothing looks better than black, but it shows everything and requires alot of effort. If you're worried about fading and UV protection, use Zaino products. Best stuff I've ever used. It's slightly expensive for everything, but well worth it when you're finished. Has the best UV protection and man it just make your ride look awesome!

That's interesting. I wonder why silver and grey fade more than any other color? I would think Silver wouldn't fade as quickly because it's almost white.
