I spent 3 hours waxing my black 04 GTO for the First time...oh my god was it tough...everything showed...but when it is done, black is the best color...with tinted windows, looks sooo sinister...

When clean and swirl free, black is the schnizzle. I have a little black two seater that looks saweet. Wanted a black GTO, but could not find one with black guts. Sorry fellas, hate the red leather. Spice Red is damn nice IHMO

Black is a cool color but swirl marks always show up.. if there is a Automotive paint supply store near you, go buy a bottle of LIQUID EBONY, all the body shops and hot rod shops use it,,it is the best thing around for swirl marks, just put it on your car like a regular wax.. wait till it turns to a haze and then just wipe it off. VERY easy to remove and Great for any color car,

I had three cars so far and all of them were black... definitely is not the easiest color to keep clean, but always looks the best. keep her shinin' and wax more often!

I always use Griots Best of Show Wax, the best wax IMHO for black cars. I have owned black cars for the last 20 years and this is the best I have found. Just be sure to have a clean finish (use a clay bar and quick detailer to clean) and wax the car in cool weather and in the shade, it will keep paint streaking to a minimum.

In between waxings, use a car duster and quick detailer with a good 100% cotton cloth.

I have only owned black cars and yes they are a bit more to take care of ,but most of us drool over our goats anyway so I dont mind putting in the extra time. I used all Meguiars (spelling) and never have had problems, I do go through a whole lot of terry clothes though!

What is good for Torrid Red ones

I think Meguiars is pretty good for any color. I use the Tech wax made by them. It will fill in little scratches and swirl marks. I dont have any on my car,but it is good to know if it ever happens
