dott_92 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 The list is too long what I want to do to this car (as always). although if I'd of known what a pain black was to keep clean I would of gone for another colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash007ks Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 haha I had a black metallic car was a nightmare, spend hours cleaning to drive down the road and be covered in dust. my RS luckily isn't metallic so its not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggs Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 that's a lovely looking car, the back lights would bug me as they aren't symmetrical, i would have to get the left hand drive version of the right hand light and fit a red LED for light bulb, that's just me though i think as for cleaning, i've had a dark blue almost black car before and as i'm spitting distance from the motorway it takes minutes to get it dirty again, i found the best remedy to give me a day or two was as mentioned some anti static cloths or spray so the dust isn't attracted to the car, i have used chemical guys speed wipe in the past which i found is a great product, wash, polish and wax as per normal then use the speed wipe for a quick coat of anti static on top, if you use an anti static noodle mitt in between cleans when it's just been sat this will aid you in keeping it shiny for when you do decide to go out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davievtec Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Tidy car mate and i feel your pain about it being black, always feel more rewarded when a black car is clean though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Lovely looking scoob and I also know what a pain keeping a black car looking clean can be . I used to use turtle wax black box (about £25 from halfruds) all the stuff you need is in the box .The wax and detail spray is black in colour which helps swirl marks and stone chips .

dott_92 Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 Thank you :) yeah thats what I got but by the time I'd put the back to black on I didnt have any day light for the other stuff, not a quick fix ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggs Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 poor boys black hole polish is the best stuff i've found for a black car so far this was using black hole by hand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 My last 2 cars were black before the Scoob. I say I'll never have another but I also said that after my first black car and still got one! Thing is, when its just been cleaned, polished and waxed no other colour looks that damn good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I've always said to me the only black car I will ever own will be the RB320 :D Even though I do like black cars but knowing what I'm like for having a clean car I'd be forever cleaning it :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
