But if you prep it well (detailed), have a few layers of wax on it, it will still look a million bucks from a short distance away.
Even when it's dusty, the paint will still shine better than any colour :)

Agree CLLee. Had a black car prior to our Kizza and still have a black Mazda. Even though they got dusty quickly, they still looked great from a short distance away...Don't fret black car owners...no one else will notice it as much as you....
I did find a quick hose down just before a drive did a pretty neat job of keeping it clean.

I have a black SLS and right about now is when The love bugs come out. They're a real pain. Especially since there's loads of them, and they since they come in numbers, they are even harder to clean off. ESPECIALLY on a black car. I basically wash my car every day. The windshield is caked with their remains. Hopefully they go away

Love bugs? Don't know where you are but we're about to get buried in cicadas.

Hahaha... and they say Australia is crawling with deadly animals.

Anyway, I've found that carnauba attracts more insects.
This is what they see :D

I used to put P21S100 (a high content carnauba wax) on my car, and constantly get bugs droppings.
Using a synthetic sealant now, and much much less brown spots.

bugs and bird bombs don't seem to be an issue with Opticoat. A light wash cleans it right up.
