I REALLY HATE BLACK !!!!

Yesterday I decieded to give the truck a full blown detail. The Whole Nine Yards. By the time I finished it was getting dark so I didnt get any pics, but the truck looked well...

I figured its going to be nice today I can get some with the stang. Woke up its totally covered in dust and a few birds hit there mark.

Time to wash the truck again..

 

Hopefully it's not too bad and some QD will bring it back to how it was yesterday...

 

Ya, I have the same problem too.... But oh well it gives me an excuse to wash the truck again.

 

Black looks absolutely fantastic only after you've completely busted your rump getting it cleaned up...

5 minutes later, it's an entirely different story.

I love my black KR but, I hate my black KR too.

 

Just stay about 15' away from it and make sure it's always in bad lighting (shade, overcast sky, dusk/dawn, etc...)

You'll always love it... The only time I really see my truck during the week is dawn/dusk, so it works out nicely for me. Then the weekend hits and I spend the afternoon washing my truck.

 

I like your thinking...

 

I know what you mean. Spent 15 hours over 2 days this weekend washing and detailing my truck and here it is 2 days later and the thing is covered in dust and is dirty already. It's tough to get out there eveyr weekend, but once it's had it's really good detail then it's just weekly upkeep.

 

well its raining now it is beading like mad but damn give me a break LOL. I know everyone here that has a black anything understands and can relate. when its just finished there nothing sexier , 20 min later well.... lol

plus on top of all this i needed to go to allentown today, road work , ummm middle white line painting OMG , rain should come down with QD in it, would make life much easier, hell ive wet sanded in the rain, should be able to clay there to, not likely....

 

i can knock out a full exterior detail using a cheapo waxer to apply polish and wax all within a day but with several breaks

but i am getting faster at the initial wash, i just today mastered the sheeting method of drying

 

well I finally was able to get back out and give her a quick bath and rub down. she looks purdy again ( except its suppose to rain again tonight )



It would be nice if I had some decent scenery, alass my garage and alley

 

Black is like a hot tub, It's cool if your friend has one. My last two details where black vehicles. They are by FAR the best looking when cleaned and detailed, but also look the worst when scratched up.

You have done a marvelous job though.

 

What did you do to your fog lights? I bought tint from ebay but yours looks way better.

 

I love Black !!

 

Me too. 8 out of my last 10 vehicles have been black and I still have 3 of them.A few years ago I had 5 black whips.

 

First i just used eagle one polish, it took the rest of the chrome reflective off, ( probably dont need to do this, i wanted to see if i actually needed to paint, you really dont if you get all the chrome off ) then a quick little sand and paint with duplicolor black
