Haha yeah I was being generous really, I bet if I look out the window my car will be rubbing itself in mud
I swear when I'm cleaning it by the time I get round to the other side it's gone dirty again

Nice work mate looks good! Black is indeed harder to keep looking clean but its harder to get a nice wet finish from silver.
Yeah I know what your saying Jordan, my silver one never looked as reflective as the black car

#20: Re: Wish I'd never bought a black car!! Author: Jay794, Location: Sheffield/Chesterfield/DronfieldPosted: Thu Jul 28, 2011 9:29 am ---- Black cars are easiest to keep clean because they hide the dirt, white and silver are the worst because silver looks dirty all the time

Not at all, black cars look much dirty than lighter cars. However black cars will hide tar spots better

Car looks sexy mate, get it lowered and lose the mud flaps i recon
#25: Re: Wish I'd never bought a black car!! Author: Missy, Posted: Thu Jul 28, 2011 9:58 am ---- Its looking good though :] I know what you mean, I spend a whole weekend cleaning mine (With the help of Ste sometimes) and it gets dirty within the night just from being parked near my front door! It's due for a clean now but it can wait til after USC.
#26: Re: Wish I'd never bought a black car!! Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Thu Jul 28, 2011 9:58 am ---- Lowering is next on the list Lewis, I like the mudflaps though, whoever had the car before me sprayed them and they're looking a little worse for wear, will respray them properly pretty soon
#27: Re: Wish I'd never bought a black car!! Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Thu Jul 28, 2011 10:01 am ---- Cheers missy
Can't wait to see some pics of people's cars after USC
#28: Re: Wish I'd never bought a black car!! Author: JordGJ, Location: Leeds / West MidlandsPosted: Thu Jul 28, 2011 10:06 am ---- even my white car is easier to keep looking nice than my old black one, would avoid black cars in future unless its a weekend/2nd car
your's looks awesome clean though
#29: Re: Wish I'd never bought a black car!! Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Thu Jul 28, 2011 10:07 am ---- Cheers jordgj I agree black cars are an absolute pig to keep looking nice, won't be buying a black car ah gain that's for sure! Lol
#30: Re: Wish I'd never bought a black car!! Author: E5GDM, Location: EssexPosted: Thu Jul 28, 2011 10:22 am ---- Black (normaly) has more 'depth' to it, so like a mirror it shows up the dirt & blemishes far more than a 'flatter' less deep colour like white or silver. Hence it's harder to keep (properly) clean a dark colour. A lot of people, I think, get confused with 'hiding' the dirt & keeping or getting a car looking really 'clean nice & shiny' Last edited by E5GDM on Thu Jul 28, 2011 10:33 am; edited 1 time in total
