I have searched, and learned a lot from this forum over the years. I actually made it to Detail Fest last year, and I have ordered a few products from here also.

I have two black vehicles, hence the name. One is a 2013 silverado crew cab that is my work vehicle, and the other is a 2014 accord that is my wife's. We bought them both new and I have been the only one to ever take care of the detailing.

Its tough to take care of vehicles up here do to the long winters and the road sand, salt, and grim. So i'm glad to have this as a resource!

Thanks,
Tony

Can't just have one either.....Black Sedan and Black Minivan here. We both battle the harsh winters too. Welcome and yes, this place is an awesome resource.

What kept you from joining earlier?

I totally empathize with your struggle to keep vehicles clean in the rust belt. Thankfully this winter was mild in WI, guessing yours was just as mild.

I washed and spray waxed (Megs D156) my black 2016 explorer (work vehicle) yesterday. After 30 mins of driving around town the whole thing was covered in light dust. I would have been able to wash it all over again.

Two newer black vehicles, you're crazy:). It's like a full time detailing gig just in your garage.

Thanks for all the welcomes.

I didn't join sooner, because I had always searched for what I was looking for, that alone is usually an overwhelming amount of information.

With out having much to offer as far as experience, or product knowledge I never really needed to post.

I was going to try and post some pictures with a couple of questions last night, so I finally joined.

Funny, how many people have multiple black vehicles. Not sure if I would ever buy another black daily driver, but would definitely buy one as a garage queen.

We also have two boxers, kind of along the same lines of crazy. It's the same thing with them, lots of boxer owners that I know have two.
