are you talkin inside or out?... I use the mr. clean auto dry carwash, that stuff works!!, we use it on my girlfriends black car also and its the best thing for dark colors... get some armor all wipes for easy cleaning of the interior, and use the glass wipes for inside the windows, rain-x for outside glass...

outside i wash teh car by hand w/meguires goldclass car wash wax it w/zaino no armor all on the tires dont like the mess and they look good enough if you clean them right. the inside i just wipe down w/a damp towel everyonce and a while, not really always concerned bout the interior cause its my daily driver.
I don't like Armor All anywhere on the interior because it leaves an oily surface and seems to have a static ability. Son-of-a-gun works well, dries, and dust doesn't seem to stick to it.

Lexol for your leather! Works awesome, and leaves your leather conditioned, protected, soft, and nice new car smell. Slightly damp rag on dash etc, because I don't like the super shine of Armor All...it attracts too much and too shiny. Definitely try the Lexol for the leather seats though!

connollys for my leathers, damp towel for everthing else. i always drive with the windows down so i collect alot of dust daily. i vac once a week or so.
on the outside soap(not dish soap), water. start top-bottom and do wheels. dry and then use the vac to suck water from all the places that magically trap water.

I use nothin but Zaino on the inside and out, great stuff. i highly recommend it for black cars. this stuff is amazing. What do you guys use to give your engine bay, like the plastic stuff to shine good?? I just picked up a Z06 and I want to keep the engine looking perfect, some of my Zaino products work well on the plastic stuff but when it drys it looks bad again, even tho the products arnt recommended for the engine, what you guys use??
I used to use Zaino for everything but I switched over to Adams Polishes. The zaino will give a better shine but the adams is half the work. Both companies also make a great leather cleaner/conditioner.
