I love the looks of a clean, shiny black truck, but when they are dirty or dull they look like doo-doo. I don't want to deal with keeping them clean and shiny, and I also don't want to deal with the heat in the summer. Yeah, I know you can tint the windows, but I don't like looking through dark tint when I'm driving.

Given a choice I will always choose black over any other color vehicle. My first F-150 was gold and though I kept it clean nothing motivates me to shine more than black.

I have only had one black truck and I love the way they look when they are clean but I will never own one again. My wife's black Ford 500 is enough to try and keep up with.

Properly treated wells will still look better than non treated.

Dry hyperdressing we keep dust from clinging...just an fyi.

I'd probably have to paint them w/ something, especially on the drivers side as I think someone in the past must have driven over some white/gray paint, which splattered in the wheelwell.
