I feel defeated. Every time I wash and wax my car the dust monster rolls in... No more black cars for me after this one...

Only if the man upstairs could make dust in shiny black... but then again I guess owners of white cars would complain.

Yeah its a lose lose situation. Looks like people came and mowed the grass today. Looks like I got a fresh coat of pollen and dust.. Guess I better get some waterless car wash on order..

Thats ok. I will still drive a black car no matter what. Nothing is greater looking than black when properly done. Sure it may take a bit more time to maintain but your efforts are rewarded with the best looking color.

I get a feeling no matter what the color of the car, many AG members will always see that layer of dust and would be bothered by it.

Ever since getting into this hobby, I only look at paint from 2 inches away. lol

Honestly I think it is Subaru that makes the best looking brown color out there. Usually I just think of older Buicks that look awful.

Get a Master Blaster. If the car is clean, you can blow a lot of it off. Of course, if you do this outside, anyone watching will think your nuts.

Did you say wax ? That could be a big part of your problem.

I get a fine layer of dust daily. I just use UWW and clean it once a day. takes maybe 20 mins to do the whole car and she stays nice and shiny most of the time.

Here are two quotes to live by:

" The true mark of a qualified detailer is his ability to maintain a black car "

" A black car is a full time job! "

I drive a 2013 Tuxedo black Ford Raptor, and I get a lot of "can you make my black vehicle look like that" business from people that sees it. It is a full time job but one of the best advertising marquee

I agree, i'll wash my car only to notice a thin film of dust after a day in the parking garage. Still cleaner than anything in there!

And probably you were the only one that would notice that dust. Your neighbors would probably think, "wow what a nice shinny car!"

Most AG members are just OCD lol
