I have a black coupe and I get a garage some nights, and others i dont. If you have to keep it outside, it can be a PITA. The garage seems to keep it looking really nice though. But garage or not, if your as obsessive as me, your going to have to clean it at least twice a week.

^ What he said. My front bumper look so bad I'm thinking about having it repainted along with the hood and getting a clear bra installed.

 

Get a good Car cover I have a CoverCraft Weathershield cover and beleive me it helps! Also get you a California Duster & Dust it off before you put the cover on. If you do this religiously you can get by without to much washing, and also you can always do a quick clean me up with some Mequirs instant detailer.

 

if your car is dirty and you get rain wash it OFF AS SOON AS YOU CAN my bro has a black car he didnt clean it for so long that the dirt and rain spots dont coem off after a car wash after a car wash the car looks liek it hasent bean washed for a month. you should see the peopel at the wash gathered around the car lookign at the spots and tryign to take them off. its funny. as far as black coupe im not takeign any chances with my black coupe.

 

da*n.. I have a P.P.White 350Z and it seems like its doing alright with out the garage.. .. and i was gonna trade my Z for Black G. i Should think about getting a black car again. but in the other hand, i dont mind washing my car once a week.

 

I don't have a garage. Pain in the A$$ for sure, but it looks so awesome when clean, that I don't mind it (plus, I find it relaxing to clean the car twice per week).

Problem is, I park right next to my apt blding in a parking lot. Last week, I went to wash the car, and found grease from someone's BBQ (from a balcony above the car, presumably) on my hood!! Had to use Googone to get it off....

Can't wait to buy a house with dbl garage!

 

It's honestly not that bad. I had the car outside when I first got it and I would just Dust it everyday to keep the dirt/dust off. I'd say stay away from a car cover especially on a black car since unless the car is super clean, the cover has a chance of scratching the car.

The car is in the garage now but it's just as dirty as if it were outside (maybe less dusty though)...the only good thing is if it ONLY rains at night then the car will still be clean. However, if the next day there is rain on the floor, the car will get dirty from the dirty rain getting splashed up anyway.

 

hmm, so i guess it doesnt really matter if you got a garage or not. its just black car .. ..
