worst mistake ive ever made....... its makes me so mad sometimes when i wash it i just give up and go home and drink some beer..but when clean for the 30 minutes its badass.... i use stuff called showroom i got it from the car wash bay at any local dealer, it works amazing with a terry cloth. i was goin to ask about a california duster if anyone has had one with black that would be tight if they knew how well it worked....

yea i have a cali duster, and here in my town it get like 100 plus, the dust just smears around, if i wanna dust it i have to wash it, and there cant be 1 part of the paint in the sun or it will smear or waterspots i hate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The duster works, I have just started using nano wax, it works pretty well.

yea the duster works great and i live in florida where it is humid, it might be a good idea to wait until the sun is setting to use it to give the metal time to cool off

hiden industry products    polymer 2 teflon is the very best  fist ues a orbital buffer with some swril remover than ues the teflon /polymer 2 you will have the wet black look you are looking for and lasts for 9 months

i agree. the 1st truck i bought was black. got tired of it so i painted it silver. bought a black denali. hated tryin to keep it clean and said id never buy a black vehicle again. ended up tradin that in for a new black sierra. guess i just have like a love-hate relationship with black vehicles. lol. just sux having to wash it everyday to keep it lookin good for the 30 minutes after u wash it. haha

I have been detailing for 17 years and I love black, midnight blue, and forest green. They look great when they are taken care of. I use a glaze with a foam pad and then hand wax and it always looks sweet.

i agree as well! i Hate black. my Silverado is black, i remember my dad telling me not to buy a black vehicle, but i wouldnt listen. when theyre clean they look amazing! but 30-40 mins later you start seeing all the little imperfections. i also have a california duster, that thing works great, but its a pain dusting the truck every hour.
