Werd, my car always looks clean - it takes work for it to look dirty, and even then it still looks clean from a few feet away, haha.
which is EXACTLY why i wanted a silver stang when i traded in my black truck. woulda thought id learned when i traded in my black stang for the black truck, but there isnt anything like an all cleaned up black vehicle.
but yeah, when i was looking for another stang last year, seriously, it was 75% the reason why i hunted for a silver stang. easy clean maintanence. i was tired with the hours of slavery by soap.
man, black sucked to keep up with though. every week id wash her down, hours of cleaning time, only to be disappointed the next day.
i, too, once use to have one of those lazer red 'pink' stangs, and actually got compliments on how the sun brought out all the colors in the paint. id be like 'ah, yeah, its suppose to have that pink. sure. ' but that car wasnt as bad as the black truck or my black stang.
even though i actually love cleaning my car, and im usually pretty meticulous about cleaning every inch, sometimes, i just have alot of stuff to do and just dont have the time/energy. if it gets too dirty, and im too lazy or its winter and its cold, all i need to do is go in the touchless carwash for $8, then give it a quick once over with my absorber, and clean the windows. 20 minutes and back to new again. that would never work with black. it would show the soap stains and look horrible. black needs committment.
