    Hi guys,

    I'd like to get people's opinions and experiences about this: How do you keep a car painted black remain shiny, mysterious, ***y and scratch-free for as long as possible? Does this entail almost-OC care and expensive waxes, and frequent detailing? Do you tend to stay away from car washes?

    Thanks!

    with the proper tools and knowledge it is easy to maintain a black car.

    tools for DIY:
    1. washmits (2 pcs. if budget permits. one for upper parts, one for lower parts of thecar.
    2. car shampoo
    3. microfiber towels, if you dont have one yet, please don't use the chamois. its for spot drying only.
    4. cali duster
    5. waxes, your choice of brand

    scratch free? don't use it and put in in a bubble container...

    honestly, as long as you use the car, touch the car, scratches are just part of life.

    oh, do a search on "maintaining a black car" here.
