My old Peugeot 306 was white and to be honest, it stayed cleaner than my black Golf. White didn't really show the dirt all that much.

A regular wash'n'wax kept the paintwork glass-like and the crud under control

Apart from keeping it in the garage.....would get it professionally detailed from the off.  A decently prepped car will be a doddle for a quick wash for those with lazyitus  :laugh:
