Black Reflection

[19gtMD]

Folks i gotta say i just love how a clean car shines. I am no detail master by any means, and if i got closer with the camera i am most positive you will see swirls, or blemishes. I do have my share of rock chips in my paint, and scratches. But when i clean up this black pony... holy cow does she shine. I just love it. I am also a rookie when it comes to taking good pictures. So here are a few of my beauty. Feel free to share some of your own.

This is from when I first bought mine. Some people I showed this pic to thought it was Kentucky Blue (I'm an Indiana University alum and don't much like Kentucky University), but that's just the SoCal sky reflecting off the surface. I love black as well.

IU grad here too! Sorry, OP, not trying to highjack your thread. Just had to comment to a fellow Hoosier!

Mine is purple, not black, but when the sun is setting, most assume it's black so I'll throw this here:

To bring it back, I'm assuming MD is indicating that you're in Maryland. (Either that or you're a doctor.) I grew up in Maryland. PG County.

Thank you! That photo was taken the day I picked it up, just a few weeks ago actually. My list of mods is growing faster than my mods fund is, so I'm anticipating that will be one of the few pics of this thing completely stock!

Ceramic coating will enhance that too...plus make washing/drying way easier! They can also do a paint correction to take out most of the swirls. Nice ride!

Yep im in Maryland. Currently in St. Mary's County but hit PG quite often. Happy modding. The more you do the more you personalize it. Looking forward to progress updates.

I've been watching paint correction videos.. Just to see if its something i can learn the craft. Might be something i tackle in the future

Owned a few black Mustangs and (2) BMW's in the past; always looked great after being cleaned/polished, 10 seconds later road dust and pollen just end the happiness...

LOL!!

All I can say, owning a Shadow Black myself, is invest in a california car duster if you don't have one.

A friend suggested it to me, and I'm so glad I bought it. It makes cleaning dust off of the car such a breeze.

You can absolutely tackle this, just start slow and gets some practice.

Many people get very concerned they are going to burn the paint off their car, but unless you are doing something deliberately stupid or aggressive, using a dual-action polisher is forgiving, safe and rewarding.

Black is amazing. Dark grey or silver looks mint weeks after washing.
No hate.

I need to deal with both. The black roof it great…it just gets dirty quick!
