Had a black car once... ONCE!

I second the PPF with ceramic coating. Should make cleaning it a bit easier. Or, there's always therapy.

Good luck!

You have 3 post and all of them suggest a mobile detailer, what mobile detailer do you own?

Lol! I wish I owned one and didn't have to pay. I don't even get a discount for being a good customer!

I'm just really **** about my cars and cringe when I see nice cars with badly swirled paint. 😊

Ceramic coat it, and while you're at it consider paint correction first. If you do both it will look noticeably better than it did when new.

Black 911s do look stunning when clean. I don't want to do the work. Maybe if a detailer came and cleaned it on a schedule.

Yeah, I hear you, especially swirls on a black car b/c they are so common. Luckily for me, my bro in law does detailing as a hobby and he washed, waxed, and polish my cars once every six months.

Yes, I agree, it's beautiful when clean. Sometimes I enjoy cleaning it myself.
