BluePoncho Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Well not really but I have finally ended my love hate relationships with black vehicles. Just picked up a white frost Sierra Denali. The days of sweating over the small imperfections On black are over. Edited April 29, 2018 by TheWolf misleading thread title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabhart Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I've owned several black cars and feel your pain! Nothing looks better than a black car fully corrected and shining. Keeping it that way, as you know, is another story. I now have a white car and although its better at hiding imperfections you will see things like darker dirt and road spray you didn't see on a black car. I guess white is the lesser of two evils!

pirahnah3 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Having a white truck, yes its much nicer than black lol. That said, they dont sine the same. Nickfire20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePoncho Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 If I had a small vehicle I would be willing to take on black again but there's a lot of real estate on a crew cab pickup. That was the biggest factor in decision. This frost paint has a silver flake in it so it does pop a bit more than plain white Nickfire20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris@Adams Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Shoudn't your title say done with black cars? I agree white is 10 times easier than black however you will still need your Adam's products. Congrats on your new ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill-V8V Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) People always think White is easy but it does tend to look really flat and lifeless when dirty. It does hide swirls better but in some ways it is really hard to detail. Especially putting on and taking off product, it can get really hard to see where you stopped or started. But when done it can really pop. Edited July 2, 2016 by Bill-V8V Dan@Adams, shine2death, Mongosg8 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Got rid of my black Vette and now have 2 white cars. And whoever said that white is easy is NUTS! If you miss ANYTHING it shows up. Edges around the protective film show up. Dust shows up.. Everything. My son in law just bought a new Explorer in white and also has a black F250. HIs comment to me was "I wish I would have picked a different color. My black is less work". But in all honesty, the same dirt gets on the cars no matter what color. Congrats on the new ride!!

BluePoncho Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 My done with Adams comment was the hook to get people in. Also not needing to chase swirls anymore. I will continue to use the soaps and sealants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwhite0960 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Dan used his time to go spend his hard earned money it sounds like. I guess he can add a new project to his list and give us a nice step by step forum display of steps to detailing the new ride lol. I guess he could possibly be a touch busy these days however. Show us some pics Dan nobody likes a tease Dan@Adams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marylander Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I'm pretty sure the term "the innocence of youth" stems from the existence of black cars. Go to a retirement community* and it's beige, white and silver as far as the eye can see... *Or Rich's garage jaybob and fortunefavoursthefresh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last 2 cars been bright Red and think there not to bad to keep clean. Have had several blacks and wife current car is Black.. ugh She had to have it lol Hate cleaning it. Adams makes it little easier though. Next car will most likely be White again. Mongosg8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jimmy, I have been a huge fan of your G8 for a long time on the forums. Perfect example of what Red should like like on a car. Plus its one of the sexiest and cleanest modded G8s I've seen. You and Charlies (RIP) GRRRR8 My wife just seen the picture of your G8 and she goes .."wow ..now thats a beautiful G8" lol!

Mongosg8 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) GXP or just a swapped front clip? Nice car BTW! Thank you and your G8 looks really nice ..& clean! Just the front fascia ..G8 was 2 weeks old and a 80 year old man backed into my GTs fascia cracking it a 2mph. The dealer ended up ordering me the GXP fascia to replace it. They only charged me 300 bucks back then. Edited July 15, 2016 by Mongosg8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeps7784 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I never bought a new car until a month ago and always did used so when I was looking I made sure I didn't want black because its the devil but heaven when its clean and I wanted something I could still shine up and get the best of everything. Including hiding scratches. I went with a darker gray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
