Black Z's?

PapoZalsa · 02-05-2010, 07:25 PM

Any black car will required a high level of elbow grease!

Black car here. And prior ones too.... As black is timeless.

If you do not have a garage, I don't recommend it.

Oh,when I was buying I had all the colors displayed for me and the black Z and the red Z won. I did not pick the red as I don't want any potential additional attention from the highway patrol personnel.

Yeah, when it's dirty I really regret.
Yeah, when I'm washing it I really regret.
Yeah, when I'm done I realize black was the best choice.

Black cars are easily the best looking on the road when theyre clean, but yes they are the most difficult to keep looking that way. Now that I dont have a carport to park under and my relatively new job is across the street from a rock quary (TONS of rock dust everywhere) another black car was just too much work for me to justify getting it again. If I had a garage black would be #1 choice again.

I would recommend to anyone purchasing a black Z to consider some form of paint protection such as Venturshield. Black is a great color but will require more attention from you regardless of whether it is a 370Z or something else. Knowing that going into it should help you in deciding to get a black Z or not. Yes, more work but looks great. Invest in some protection up front, clean and wax regularly and you'll be happy.
