[QUOTE="Colleton, post: 11569605, member: 88141"] As others have said, the issue was keeping the car clean. Black looks so beautiful when the car is clean, but it shows the smallest of flaws (dust/dirt, water spots, swirlies, etc...). Mine was a daily driver (as is my 11), and it was washed 2-3 times a week in an effort to keep it looking good. I waxed it once every week or two, usually once a week (overkill, I know). On the plus side, I learned a lot about keeping a car clean and swirlie-free that I'd never known before. It was just a lot of effort, and it was unending. I could wash it then have it on the road for 5 minutes and it would look dirty. Maybe it was just me, but I swear that I'll never own another black car. OTOH, sterling gray is great for a daily driver - the car really has to be dirty before you notice it, and a weekly bath keeps it looking good. [/QUOTE]
