Same here. Black is a serious LOVE/HATE relationship.

I have also owned both black and white - IMO, black is BY FAR more difficult to keep looking clean and proper.

Yes, I know.

But the finish of this never garaged, always driven in any weather car, is NOT the weekend toy/garage queen PERFECT that most on here have anyway, so I opt for the protection aspect over aesthetics.

I am not even sure that there is enough paint/clear coat left to do a 'major' correction which is what it would need (and THEN some) to even be close to meeting the high standards on this forum.

Besides, the birds, pollen, dust, and 'salt soup' (in the winter) are the worst I have ever experienced around here (moved here about 3 years ago now).

As one should with either; 845, 476, or 915 all, I put it on in VERY VERY thin coats.

Default Easy cheat

Did find nice way to get dust off. Went to local carwash. Rinsed dust off.... after I did that this wash has a spot free rinse option. Went over with that last then went for an interstate blowdry. If you have good wax on it it works great. No wiping....maybe a couple small touchups.
