Magnetic or Shadow Black

Well I love my Magnetic Gray! Just looks fantastic and doesn't show dirt quite as much as black..

I have a 16 GT performance pack in magnetic down in Joliet. IMO looks awesome.

I'm actually from Tinley Park!

Truth be told it was full of swirl marks the day I received it.. Lol. I just made things worse over time.

I've taken every precaution I could.. I use the 2 bucket system with grit guard, I used meguiars gold class soap which is fairly soft, I bought a ton of premium silk lined MF towels and even bought an electric pressure washer with a foam thingy so that I wouldn't touch the paint as much. It's simply inevitable.. and on black, every little tiny imperfection is painfully obvious.. you can see individual particles of pollen scattered all over the paint 5 seconds after a thorough wash Lol.

I just bought a cheap random orbital polisher and some meguiars ultimate polish.. hopefully that'll help some. I also bought an outdoor car cover to go with it, since my car sits out in the elements surrounded by trees, hopefully it'll stay cleaner longer and reduce the amount of washing required. Currently I wash it once a week on Saturday, hoping to extend that to once every 2 weeks with a bit of Ecosmart RU in between washes.

My GT is the first black car I've owned that I'm concerned with keeping clean so I've read up on it. Only thing I've read that you didn't mention is not washing/waxing in a circular motion. I read that fine scratches are harder to see if they aren't circular.
