I know what you’re going through. My last car was black, I can't count how many times my car looked dirty after a good wash. I hated it, and vowed never to get a black car again. Now I have grey, haven't washed my car in a month, and people still tell me how clean my car is. LOL

lol.. yeah seriously

it rained a couple of days ago.. so i cleaned it when the weather cleared up.. i thought i did a decent job.. but the next day i could still see the towel streaks everywhere

you can notice every blemish or light scratch on the car.. and i'm already starting to see swirl marks

don't get me wrong.. i love the color.. i just know it's going to be hard to maintain

Rutland: Only problem with filing claims like that, the insurance premiums will go up, costing more than the stain removal. It may have been bird ****. That stains and seeps into the paint something awful. You have to get that :crap" off immediately with lukewarm water and mild soap, then polish and wax accordingly.

the worst part is when you finish washing your car and your neighbors use a leaf blower. Half an hour later, you come back to a dusty car.

Minimal (as in number) comp work should not raise premiums and did not in my case. And I had two within a month totaling over 4k in damage, both caused by falling tree limbs.
