I always say "I love OTHER peoples black cars!"

I just don't have that kind of time. I appreciate how awesome they look when clean.

That looks great Wolfdogs. Absolutely no signs of swirls! I did mine back in May. I moved to Florida in August and now my '08 vert is my DD. I believe it has rained every day since I've been here except for the last two days. Trying to keep it clean has been an exercise in futility.

Things are settling some so I will break out the Zaino and add some coats soon. Black is hard to keep clean but when it is clean it looks really great - like yours.

My last two Vettes were black. It's a full time job keeping them clean and minimizing fine scratches and swirl marks, but I still love the look of a black Vette.

Ken, I love your black car! But no black for me - I'm not in your league when it comes to being able to do that...... I'm OK with Silver and White (ok, and red too )

Black is almost too much work...but does look nice when it's all tidy. Meguiars NXT here.
