| Tips for Maintainence of a black coloured car Congratulations on your black beauty  A black car requires a lot more attention from the owner than any other coloured car - scratches, colour fading, cabin heating etc etc. Black leather is not a complete no-no but you have to be careful of where you park the car. It also depends on whether its art leather or any other kind.Just make sure you have a good sunfilm and that you dont park the car in direct sunlight for extended periods of time and you should be fine. IMO beige goes really well with a black car, even a red-black combo looks hot. There are plenty of options out there. Try to search for similar threads on the forum for more ideas. Here are a few pointers for general black car maintainence as quoted by "The MAG"[Moderator] in a similar thread; 1. Never dry dust/dry clean it. This reduces the gloss/deteriorates the clear coat of the paint. Its OK if the car's dirty - you can always wash it over the weekend. 2. Avoid putting car covers - it creates/accentuates small scratches. 3. Do not park in the open sun - it accelerates fading. Always look for a shaded area in which to park your car. 4. While washing, especially before cleaning muddy areas - dont use a cloth even if its dipped in water. Rinse all the mud by hand first, using plain running water . You can then use the standard wet cloth to wash the area normally. This ensures no mud particles stick to the cleaning cloth, thus avoiding extensive and minute scratches while washing with this cloth. Also ensure that the cloth is cotton and clean thruout the wash cycle. 5. If you're around when birds do their thing, immediately remove the goo using moistened newspaper/cloth. If guano is left to dry - even though it comes off during regular wash, it would have left a noticable discoloration of that area which is difficult to treat. 6. Do not keep any solid objects on the body of the car - such as plates/tumblers etc. when in a drive-in restaurant or otherwise. Discourage people/pets from sitting/jumping/leaning on the car. 7. Use a nice car shampoo once/15 days - it removes particles not removed by a plain water wash. 8. Polish the car with a good wax - preferably hard shell/carnuba once 1.5-2 months 9. Most importantly - wash the car yourself. The neighborhood busybody wouldnt be discerning enough to take all the care you would while washing. 10. Everytime you leave it for service, insist on a touchup(usually free) of all noticable sratches. 11. Use running water while washing instead of a bucket. This ensures there are no particles in the water that would stick to the cloth and scratching the car in the process. While on the subject of water, hard water is not car-friendly. Quote:
