    Owning a black car and keeping it clean.

    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.

    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.

    Re: Owning a black car and keeping it clean.

    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."

    I heard you could serve with your feet and polish with your hands all at the same time
