I had a black Cruze before and I hated it. Living where salt and shit is all over the roads 24/7, made my OCD made me crazy. It looks good clean, tough to keep clean. Car Pro is what I’ve nocticed a lot of detail guys on here like to use.

Black is tough to keep, even coated and or waxed. you SEE every mark!
Gray or silver hides a lot. Black only if its a weekend car that's garage kept, and not a DD.

Best color when clean, but it's never clean for more than an hour. Shows dust and scratches/swirl marks like no other color. I've only owned one black car, and that was enough. :-)

Black will be dirty before you finish the detail. Looks great from 10 feet. I have given up on mine. Mines a week end no rain car. Needs to be washed every time I take it out. Black is for detailers.

I love it, but it’s a ton of work.

I’ve owned many black cars and will continue to buy all my vehicles in black. I have never gotten tired of it despite showing dirt and swirls more than any other color.

My Jeep Grand Cherokee was black and looked great after washing, detailing etc. The next day it looked dirty. Black looks the best but doesn't hide anything.
Like mentioned above, weekend warrior it. LOL |

Love how stealthy it looks in black but it’s a pain to keep clean! Also try to opt for the mosaic black metallic paint. The gold/blue flake just look so eye pleasing under the sunlight <3
