Default Black Car Lament

Yea I love black, looks amazing clean and polished but give that paint a few washes or days without washing and it looks like total crap.

Maybe if I was independently wealthy and could spend all day washing and dusting the car I would torture myself with a black car after this one, but I think not. From now on, silver or white for me only.

I love the car, I love the magnetic black color, I hate maintaining it.

I hate micro scratches that no matter how careful you are washing/drying the car you still get, and still drive me crazy when I catch them in the light.

Maybe in my retirement ill get something in black again but damn its a lot of work to keep this looking as good as my silver car.

If I had a garage I might not be venting about this but it sits outside all the time and gets coated in all sorts of crap all day even right after a full detail!

Anyone got any stellar tips about how to keep this bad boy cleaner or what products or towels will prevent this microscratch problem.
...and yes I use a electric leaf blower but you still need to dry the sucker.

ahhh I feel better already
