What sort of maintenance do you have to do in order to keep it looking like that? I heard you always have to wax.

Last night I went threw their touchless wash. It was pretty good, but didn't dry the car down all the way (like all auto washes). I bought some of the turtle wax "insta wax" or whatever. It's basically a quick detailer. I went and bought that along with some tire black and some microfiber towels. When I got back home, I just sprayed the car down with the detailer and wiped it off with a microfiber towel (including the chrome wheels). I then blacked the tires and just let it sit for a long time (didn't have to go anywhere after that) and it turned out REALLY nice. I'll probably end up waxing it in 3 months but until then, I'll just use the instant detailer I have.

Looks very nice.
Mine doesn't have a roof, so I can't relate there...

I used to have a black car, man it was tough. Had to throw a cover on it everywhere I went or chase it with one of those dust things. Didn't help that I lived right next to the beach and in 10 minutes there was this film on it from the ocean air.

Very nice car, love the absent rear wing, nice wheels. Asymetric tires would cost me too much, here's a picture of me detailing mine...

Yeah gotta do a polish & wax on my car. I even bought a random orbit polisher to get it done but it's just sat in the garage for the past couple months. Partly weather, partly because I've been doing renos for 2 weeks solid.
