no dude, i am not a young guy. I never had a black car in my life time. I am 26 years old. Everyone tells me something different about a black car. I do keep my car clean. My previous car was silver. I did not notice any scratch.

 

26...your young

Please do not use a sponge on your car. Invest in a couple of good quality sheepskin mits.

 

Buy Zaino Z-1, Z-2, Z-5 and some claybar. Pick up some show car wash while youre at it. Wash the car, use the clay, wash again, put one coat of z1/z2 mix, then 2 coats of z-5. No more swirls. www.zainobros.com. First application like this takes like 6 hours so get committed. Car will look glossy and "wet" for a year without reapplying, reapply z-5 every few months to keep it max shinyness.

 

First I want to inform you that Z-1 is no longer made. Second, none of the Zaino products you mention is going to remove the cob web scratching mentioned in the first post. Z-PC may remove them if they're light, but Zaino doesn't make a polish that can tackle most paint defects.

 

I'm sure you had the same scratches in your silver car. It's just much harder to see them because of the color. Black cars show EVERYTHING. Any time you get a scratch, ding, or paint chip it will be MUCH more obvious than with your silver car.

 

once these scratches are there, it's not going to help to wax it, or wash it delicatley, it needs to be buffed, polished & then glazed & then re-waxed, all while not making swirls or new scratches in the process....

getting a really perfect shine on a black car is almost an art, & then maintaining it is also work, but if it's already scratched up then polishing it out first is the only option, & is not easy on a black car...

 

yes exactly. I agree with you 100%. But nothing its like a black color. Almost every car looks better in Black. I just have to learn and deal with it.

 

I agree thanks.

 

When I went into the dealership to purchase my OB g35sedan, the salesmen asked me if I would take care of it since it is black. I said of course I would. Never in my life have I owned a black car, albeit I am still young. It's funny because I did everything wrong with my first car (92 camry). I used dishwashing soap and I used old t-shirts and towels to dry it off. I never noticed any spiderweb marks on it till when i recently saw my old car again and of course, they were all over the whole car.

You just have to deal with spiderwebbing in your car, but there are ways to minimize them. I follow all the rules ( use clean sheepskin wash mitts, the 2 bucket system, and I use the CRSpotless so I don't have to dry my car), but the spiderwebbing marks still show up. Now, the marks were not as bad as before and I've learned to deal with them.

I use the California Car Duster to dust the car off since everyday dust just keeps piling up. I also do quick details here and there to take off any bird poop or any other contaminants that show up on my car.

It does take lots of work, but at the end of the day, you'll be driving the nicest car around and turning lots of heads.
