Black cars are awesome

Just clayed the front end of my car (the only chance I get is after work, so I'm doing a section at a time...), and it's awesome - apart from the stone chips. Black cars look mint when they're clean. But my mate's got a white GT-Four, and he says black cars are awesome, but white cars are faster... I really don't want to loose this argument...:mad:

Tell me about it. In a desperate attempt to keep it shiney I ran a microfiber over it in the car park while I was waiting for my girlfriend to come out of work. I must have looked like such an idiot... :S

But it was shiney again! And that's what's important...


Isn't it?

I find it slightly depressing spending hours cleaning it, not driving anywhere, then the next morning it has magically aquired dirt overnight !

No other colour looks as good, no other colour gets a dirty as quickly.

30 seconds up the road and it looks dirty, 30 days in a silver car and it would look cleaner than the former ...

aye I had a silver car before and once it was polished/waxed etc it just stayed clean for weeks ! Even in the rain any dirt was barely noticetable. It also seemed easier to actually get it clean too.

I had a silver clio before my black one and i could go without cleaning it for a month nd it would still look clean. Not so with the black one though but it does look oh so good after a good going over.

I wont buy black cars for that reason. I cant stand dirty cars. I have to wash my silver clio every weekend without fail and for me it looks dirty the week after.

I've owned two black cars and would never buy another total ball-ache to keep clean and shows every single little scratch/chip

Black cars looks so nice when they are cleaned up, they need a lot of TLC though to keep the paintwork looking good all the time, i did mine on sunday (pictured above) and its already dirty! lol

Mines black, I drive it however, so I'm not concerned with all that swirl shizzle, the person that buys it after me, can buff that out using surf board wax and a cloth made from the inner thigh skin of 13 yr old bolivan virgins, I'll be in the pub.

Yes, they're lovely when they're clean..which isn't for long.

Had a black 172 for a year and got pissed off with cleaning it all the time, once I'd spent fcuking ages washing it, drove home down the motorway and had to go past a gritter which was in the middle lane - sh!te all over it again GRRRRR.

Wouldn't ever get black again - well they do say "Once you've had black, you never go back" ;)

Nearly bought a white R26 but realised I'd have the same issue.

Racing blue is great for hiding the dirt - my car was absolutely covered in salt and crap, then it rained and washed it all off and it looked clean again! Bonus :)
