Ok I must ask, I live in Texas (Houston) and like the black and the PG. The two things stopping me from getting the black are how hot it may get in the summer, thinking of getting black/base/sport so I will have black cloth seats. The other thing is the thought that the moment I leave my driveway it will not look as good, after I wash it.

I do plan on cleaning it once a week, not a full wax/detailing, but a quick clean, will this be enough?

That depends on how clean looking you want it to be. I've owned nothing but black cars, and can tell you if you want it to look clean while its on the move, once a week is more than enough. If you want it to look showroom clean, don't get black.

Black is hardest color to maintain, but damn does it look great when its clean!
i used to wash my car at least once a week in the summer, and just kept a microfiber cloth in my car to keep off any dust that settled. In NY, (I guess its pollen?) little tiny yellow specs used to land on my car during the summer, so a simple wipe with a microfiber was plenty to keep the car shinin'.
I'll tell ya, with TX's summers, black will probably kill you, lol. I mean black in NY is still bad enough, and the A/C takes much longer to cool the inside of your car.

Use the California Duster to keep her clean

I use the California Duster for my black z it is amazing, takes off all the dust, never scratches the paint - cuts down on carwashes by 80% here is the url or you can google.

WOW! It was hard to find this thread!

Dr. Acula · 04-22-2009, 11:47 AM

after buying a black 370Z can I wax it right after or should I wait a while before the first wax?

Anatoray · 04-26-2009, 04:21 PM

New cars come with a paint protectant already applied, so you shouldn't have to wax for a bit. It won't hurt it if you do, but it also won't make a difference.
