i have a black car. every couple weeks a take a buffer to it with turtle wax color match wax. covers alot of small scratchs and maxs it shine. just take care of it and when you wash it, i only use car wash soap with hot water. make sure your sponge is clean, foreign debris in sponges will rune a black cars day and when your done, dry it with a terry cloth towel. i personally love having a black car because i like washing it. gives me somtin to do and provides for a sense of accomplishment
