Beemer Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) I know a lot of you guys think that black is the best color for detailing (I'm not even sure black is a color, but whatevs) but please allow me to humbly submit the following evidence to the contrary: Weekend detail - Strip wash Clay Bar Swirl & Haze Fine Machine Polish IPA Wipe sVRT Machine Super Sealant (it's SUPER!) Brilliant Glaze Americana Glass Sealant Brilliant Glaze on the glass Quick Sealant on bug catcher Edited November 8, 2012 by Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBlack151 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I'm with Chris, Red is 2nd best. Especially when it's looking as good as that right there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beemer Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 you must drive REALLY slow down that gravel drive everyday! P.S. your state inspection is due The gravel drive is just in front of my garage. My real driveway is about 100 yds long and is all dirt. I crawl down that driveway. p.s.

Beemer Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) Where does Orange rank? As far as I'm concerned if it's YOUR favorite then it's #1. There is no "best". Just best for you. My own personal opinion: A beautiful car needs to be a COLOR! I don't think of black, white and gray as colors. With that being said I've seen PLENTY of black, white and gray cars that were GORGEOUS! I would take any of them. However - if I had a choice - I choose color. Edited November 9, 2012 by Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDuff Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) Having both a red and dark gray metallic, my BEST is when they are clean and gleaming with minimal swirls. I love reflection shots! I did my sons girlfriends car which was used and black. I have never done a black car and it had tons of swirls. I must admit even though it wasn't perfect, a black car clean and polished up does look fantastic. I love your red Camaro, looks great.

sluggoZ Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Black forces me to keep it clean more often than not. When cleaned it's Outstanding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EPHIOS Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 For me, black is the best color. Love it or hate it. If you know how to take care of your car, black is the best color. However, if you are careless, black is the worst color to show all the imperfections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Black is great unless like me you have two kids under 3 that you'd like to spend time with! My current DD is black and I work across the street from a concrete plant. My new DD (being built) is going to be white! I'm done! I'm tapping out! Sent from my miniaturizer via tap dancing...

sydtoosic Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 nothing shines better than black after a proper detail. your car looks great when detailed but not better than black... i actually like red but can't seem to pull the trigger on a red car.

mdolandese Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Black is the best if you could keep up with it. A lot more time and effort will be invested, but in the long run it's all worth it to me. Black is beautiful. Plus it's always easier if it's not your DD. Garage queens are always easier to maintain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I'm buying my current DD out of the lease even though it's black. As a garage queen, it'll be great. It won't go to work anymore! Sent from my miniaturizer via tap dancing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemi1300 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Funny how everyone thinks black is so horrible to maintain. I have 2 black vehicles I keep up with, my 07 dodge ram and the wife's 12 jeep grand Cherokee. They do tend to get dirty/dusty quickly after a wash/detail, but not too bad. The wife's Cherokee is a daily driver and never looks too horrible to me if It goes a few weeks without a wash. Have had 4 black vehicles in a row now and not looking back or regretting my decision. Do they take a little more work and pre-caution/sure, but I love it when I get that deep shine after a nice detail. Don't think I'll ever own another vehicle other than black, maybe a dark gray/charcoal would be ok. I really don't think it's too much maintenance keeping up with black, but maybe I just have too much time on my hands lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPHIOS Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 You car looks awesome, however, I still think a black paint is still the best to detail (and the hardest). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
