      Don’t worry where I live is hot and humid with ZERO snow year round. Snow is not a problem for me. Never heard of antique white before. Looked it up on a Dupont color chart and not bad at all.

          Any clear coated paint are a pain to repair. I park in an area with lots of bad minded kids and idiots who key cars for fun.

          I am thinking like a solid Oxford White or performance white that is compounded and buffed. Easy to repair and not too expensive.

          Someone suggested pure aspen white on another forum but that looks toooo white to me.

              I was wondering why the air was always smelly and musty when I use to set A/C in OFF setting before I shut down the engine….haha

              I live in a hot humid climate so bacteria growth thrives here.

              On another car forum one guy posted this response concerning Ford based cars (I have a Mazda Tribute)and how their A/C system works as compared to other cars.

              “”””Ford (along with some other makes, and definitely the OP’s Ford-based Mazda Tribute) has a “Recirculate” setting that recirculates air with the A/C off, an “A/C” setting that runs the A/C with fresh air, and a “Max A/C” setting which runs the A/C with recirculation.

              Many people do not know that “Max A/C” means they’re on recirculate with the A/C compressor on.

              In modern A/C systems (with electronically controlled blend doors instead of the old cable-operated setups and a microchip controlling fan speed instead of a resistor in the fan speed knob) the “Max A/C” generally also forces the fan to “High” and selects only the dash vents.””””

              I set mine to A/C now to ensure that the vents are opened when the vehicle is parked in the hot sun.
