Default Before/after Z detail... (56k = FAIL)

As we all know, black cars are extremely hard to keep clean. But when the black paint is well taken care of, there is no sexier/meaner color out there imo. Here are some pics of my 07 Magnetic Black Z before/during/after the detail:

i believe you marred up your paint by just washing and waxing. That's a lot of dirt on your car. Look in the sun..a lot of swirls and scratches? The only way i find cleaning black is getting a good foam gun to break up the dirt. Pm me if you need help with supplies.

Nice rims. I like the combo a lot.

It's been raining the last few weeks + no garage means dirty black Z. Yesterday my car saw some sunshine!

Shows you how black cars look like crap when dirty but like a million bucks when cleaned.

P.S. You dont need that much wax.
