For those who own a black car

[al audi]

Do you regret it? is it realllly that bad to maintain? How often you wash that thing during the spring/summer?

 

[ohmygosher]

No. I wash it once a week in my driveway.

 

[water]

Wash it once a month, unless it gets dirty from snow and mud. Then I clean it the day after.

Two black cars is a pain in the ***, I probably hit the car wash weekly

Wish I bought white

yeaaaa

im pretty much going towards white or black.....right now im thinking white.

i dont have the time or patience to wash weekly myself and car wash weekly is just OD

Got a black car. No color looks better after a wash. But no color looks worst a week later. Got to the point where I just said F it and take it to the car wash instead of having to wash it every week.

yea lol

iight between you and stillin ive made up my mind already.

[stillin729]

Believe me white will be a wise choice

 

[rico x hood]

Love my black car. I wash it about once every two weeks. Spring time is wack, but nothing that would make me want another color. .

 

[stillin729]

Whenever the next gen Z comes out ill be buying it in white

 

[mrgogetit]

I second that. Take white. But old dude is right, no color looks better after the wash.

I wanted a stone white grand cherokee, but they had a Black one CPO that was too good of a deal so I went with that....It's a pain, but looks after it's washed....Go with white though if you have a choice

That's an old sketch, I expect to look more like a 300zx with a smaller engine possibly turbo'ed and lighter

 

[unknwn]

I wash my truck a lot because I just like washing it, and caring for it in general. Don't wash it in the winter though, and I've scene too many vehicles get scratched up from car washes

 

[DPancakes]

Get red playa.

Black scratches easier too, I had to do serious detail work on my 370Z

I felt like I brunt 3500 calories doing it, it was such a *****

 

[jaypesoz]

Yup. Been VERY easy to maintain and I live in the northeast where the weather has been out of control.

Yeah, either they are going to do a Z and a Mini-Z (to compete with the FRS/BRZ) or just a straight up Z that's probably a turboed 4 banger. 

Either way, I plan on getting a 370 as soon as I graduate and get a job. But if  Pearl White or Daytona Blue 

. That is unless the next gen Z comes with a 300+HP like the current one, then I'm copping that.

 

[sole trooper]

I wash mine every 2 weeks (except for the winter time). But Cali weather has been good, so that means less washes.

 

[antonlavey]

Don't white cars get just as filthy if you live in a dusty muddy environment? If I had a black car I just wouldn't park it under any tree.

I think if you want a car that easy to clean I heard grey, silver, red or blue is the way to go.



Black cars tho>>>>>>>>

My first luxury car I get for myself if prolly gonna be a black audi.

 

[utvol23]

Black> All esp if you know how to properly maintain it.

Wash> Decontaminate (TRIX or Iron X)> Wash> Clay> Polish> Wax/Seal or Both

Then do weekly washes with ONR (Optimum No rinse) or a two bucket wash and keep your LSP up to par with a post wash spray wax/sealant like Optimum car wax or Duragloss Aquawax to name just a very few.

 

[pythagoras]

Wash one day, dirty again the next day. 

 

[combo gd]

No love for silver? 

But I had a black car and it was no fun. 

I haven't washed my silver car all winter. Snow and rain are my washes, and it looks good.
