Just Washed my car :(
I just wash my car and its already dirty what the hell. Im starting to hate the color black for a car. The dust always shows on my car. Is there anything to prevent this .

Rep Power: 372 Keep it covered and leave it in a garage. Dont drive it. Then it wont get dirty. What do you expect, you bought the hardest and worst color to keep clean. Black takes the most time and care to take care of.

Rep Power: 0 black looks so good when its clean
my last car was black and a pain in the *** to keep clean, they say once you buy a black car you'll never buy another. but i probably would!

Rep Power: 372 I would never buy a black car and I never had one. I wont buy it because I detail them and they are the worst...show everything from scratches to swirl marks. Ill stick with silver.

Rep Power: 392 silver is actually my favorite color so thats what i first got, it was easy to clean, it would sit outside collecting dust for 3 days and you wouldnt even notice it was dirty.
it was totalled and now i have a black one... its a pain in the butt to clean, gets dirty within a couple hours. but ya i must admit it looks better then silver. i think my next cars going to be white with white rims.. it isn't too hard to keep clean and looks tight too, i dunno silver is my favorite color but you see it everywhere now.

Rep Power: 0 Yep, black is a nightmare. YOu always see the scratches and the imperfections that keep showing up as the car gets older. Looks awesome when it is clean though.
I don't think I will ever buy one again though. The scratches and stuff bother me way too much. Most people don't pay any attention to this kind of stuff but I do. Plus, the thing is hotttttttttt. It's getting hot in hereerrre!
White is my favorite. Looks good for weeks w/o washing. I think silver would be the easiest color to keep looking good by far. I may get silver next.

Rep Power: 0 Black is a lot of work to keep clean and extra care is needed with washing, swirl-reducing, and waxing BUT... nothing looks as kool as a clean and shiny black car. Nothing!!!

Rep Power: 0 Mine is black and I will never get another unless I am rich enough to pay someone to clean my car everyday.
I do admit it is untouchable when it is clean. After you wash it try to park it in the garage and dust it....or just save up and paint that ho white
