My friend has a black car and he tells me that he waxes it everytime after a wash (which is almost twice a week). So I guess if you really want to keep the car looking clean, you're gonna have to find the time to literally keep it clean.

Yup.. that's the downside of a dark car... man Silver can get away with everything... hehe.

Have one of those California Car Dusters in your trunk, and dust after you drive, helps me!

Just make sure you don't do it in a crowded area, you might look snotty h:

The best way to keep black and dark colors clean is to use a premium polymer wax system to seal the car . I use KLASSE A German Polymer wax that is a 2 step system One is a cleaner and prepares the surface for the sealer. This system actually puts a fine protective film that may protect your car from fine chip damage. I put this on every 6 months and in between use a fine Carnuba detailer . As for dirt all you do is hose the car off with water and it is gone. My wife has a dark Blue that is out all the time and You can't believe that she does not wash it every day because the car looks like it was just waxed. It is the best wax system on the market today if you are looking for a good polymer protection and shine. I would suggest you try www.aandmmotorsport.com They specilize in car care, MUGEN and other Honda performance parts. But their car care section is great and you can drop them a line if you have any questions.

I detail alot of my friends cars. One of my friends has a Black 300zx Non Turbo. If you wax it alot it will stay clean.
