Default Black is beautiful......





....when it's clean. I detail club members cars for 50% off my regular price as part of my help to keep our club cars in show car condition. This one took me 5 hours, half off is $100. Not sure if my back appreciates it, but the results make it worth it. Gary

Agree. I had a black car once - looks great - for 15 minutes.

Boy, do I disagree. My black and chrome-packaged Touring with spotlites, hood stripe, godess, California brush every morning,and "Gary's stuff" applied every week makes NESS CAR (the plates)a standout and well worth the trouble to clean.

(If I was smart enough to be able to attach a picture, I could prove it!)

I am on my second black Cruiser, it is my pleasure to make sure that it doesn't get dirty, if it does it doesn't stay that way for more than a few hours.

I too, or should I say my wife, has a beautiful black '03 limited 5 speed with a sparing amount of chrome, and I keep it immaculate for her. It sometimes takes my breath away.... that's when I'm working to keep it clean.. just kidding. I don't think anything looks nicer than a super clean back car. It takes work but the result is worth it.[8D][8D]
Her car is in the hospital now, recovering from a crunch this weekend. I went to visit it today, doesn't look so good all bent dented and dusty.

Try the "California Brush' available at any Pep Boys. 2 minutes every morning and :Voila! No dust!
