Default For those with black cars...

How do you keep em clean? I wash and wax mine and the next day it looks like I've been driving it for months without a wash. I don't live in a dust bowl or anything so I don't know where its all coming from. Just wanted to know what everyone else does to keep thier black cars lookin good.

After I wash my car and pull out of the driveway, theres allready dust settling on the rear bumper of the car.

I am in the process of Zaino'ing my car, but with this heat I dont even feel like going into the garage.

A wise man once told me:

Black is not a color it's a commitment

I totally feel the pain. I have a black car with black wheels and I go horseback riding every day, which means driving down a 1/4 mile long dirt road and parking in a damn sandstorm of horses and riders. You guys don't know anything about dirty black cars.
