I would recommend ceramic coating, the filth comes right off mine with minimal effort.

Nice. I hate black for upkeep and swirls, but I'll be damned if it doesn't look awesome!

I got my car done by FL Coatings. Nate is the owner's name, he gave me a discount since I was referred by a friend. His number is 954-830-6175

Looks Great, now the challenge is keeping it looking like that!



Yup, maintenance is a drag, finger prints and light water marks show up so easily.
However, when it's all cleaned up there's nothing like it.
I have a black one as well, and I never did like owning a black colored vehicle simply because of the maintenance, yet I've owned 5 black vehicles.


Check out autogeek.net for a multitude of weapons to keep the maintenance of a black vehicle looking great!
They have great vids too to help you along on how and what to do and use.


I can't afford to have someone else do my car, and autogeek has been a great resource. And a lot of car detailing companies will purchase the same products. I believe they are located in Florida, and one day I plan on attending their detail classes...when I get the $$$!

Ive had two black cars and it's not at all what people make it out to be...some detailing nightmare. Enjoy...black was actually the best colors I had.

It looks like you have a garage. That should help.
Use everything high quality microfiber. Use a lubricant to dry off. If you have a good wax or seal, you could even use s leaf blower to dry.
