They look amazing when they are detailed.

My corner:

I haven't polished the Cruze yet in prep of getting the Camaro ready ... But all 3 are black

But i sure do miss having a white car lol

Looking good. Time to upgrade those fog lights.

Looking Good

Yep, they look beautiful for ten minutes after a detail until you drive them. I'll stick with white.

I don't have the ambition to own a black car. Lol

Never again for me.

I don't mind it at all, with a good coat of Collinite 845 on the car, even the rain washes it clean. Right now my Camaro looks freshly detailed from 10' even thought it's filthy. The dirt just doesn't stick.

Nothing like a clean black cat. Use the right products and you can keep it looking clean all the time

I owned nothing but Red or Black cars. Just like those colors. I never thought the black was any harder to keep clean, as long as you clean it every now and then. The worse part of black cars are chips and scratches.

Nothing better looking than a clean swirl free black car........Nice job!

The trouble is that they are few and far between outside of high end car shows or garage queens. Swirl free black car on a daily driver is almost an oxymoron.

At least you guys have great products that can help if someone is willing to be a slave to their car.

kmdracer · 03-30-2016, 06:01 PM

I agree, lol

yzark99 · 03-30-2016, 07:03 PM

My last car was black. I would get hit 30 times every day, and nothing improves a black car like bird poop...

Microfiber Madness Incredimitt and Dry Me Crazy towels are excellent for minimizing wash marring.

The Crazy Pile has never induced any scratching for me in many uses for sealant or wax removal.

A good investment for polished clear coat on darker colors.
