Owning a black car and keeping it clean. - 07-05-2010, 07:33 PM

I realized this weekend that owning a black car is a pain in the ass but nothing else will look as good. I clean my car at least once a week. When I'm washing it adn just about done I want to find someting else on it that needs to be touched up. So owning it is a blessing because I need to clean it and it wlays needs to be cleaned. I'm a bit of a nut when it comes to cleaning anything really.

I cleaned up my fathers car on staurday and the excitement of looking at a silver car is just not the same. It looked good but it just doesn't pop.


I HATE POLLEN

Matt I'm sure your car will be gleaming by the end of the weekend even if Ron has to do it himself

I had 3 Black vehicles and last fall I bought a new car care to guess what color I bought ??? YEP it is Black.

I'm with you nothing looks as good as Black.

Black don't get dirty any more than other colors it just shows it more.

The other cars they drive them dirty and it don't show.

i will grill i dont mind.. but i require someone to polish up my car..


"One day you will have to stop being a Muppet...So take the hand out of yer butt and walk for yourself."

Claying does not mean "High end". It means quality/caring. So would actually learning a trade instead of "Hey I can wash and wax a car, so I'ma gonna be a detailer."
