I agree. Mine is clean only after I wash it. A short drive and it looks like it needs washing again.

+1, i've heard the mechs at my dealership comment on it, say "what the, did this guy take his car off roading or something?"

mind you i'm living in a new development so mud and dirt are unavoidable when it rains.

just wax it in the garage while it's raining. You'll always come back sparkling clean the day after the rain.

I have never take the car out in the rain or on a wet day but even the dust and pollen layer on the Super Black. I wash the car every week ... sometimes everytime I take it out.

When clean it does look beautiful.

Black is the nicest and sharpest color when it's clean for about 5 mins. Then everything in the world seems to want to settle onto it.

yea, i avoid driving the car in the rain, unless for some reason i really "need" to drive it, or I got caught in the rain.

I usually do a weekly wash of the car as well...it's the price to pay for having sexiest colour

I have this same problem. I just gave up on cleaning it. I just let it get dirty, and clean it when I have time.

I too own a black Z track edition. It gets so dirty, but like other have said, what looks better than a shiny black driving around. Even if it is for only 10 minutes hahaa.

I traded my SB Z for a LS Z. No doubt the black is hands down the best looking car on the road when clean, but it never lasts. The LS stays clean looking for much longer. LS (or any lighter color) FTW!
