There is something special of a clean black car. I've had a few in my life - BMW Carbon black E36 M3 and E60 M5. Love that color. As you probably know, the tricky bit it keeping them clean. What did you get?
Oh, I remember. My first (and only) black car was an '89 Corvette convertible, triple black. I got rear-ended and wound up reshooting the entire car in a Ford black and had it wet sanded and buffed -- it was gorgeous.
Now I have a Carrera T. Front end is covered in Suntek Ultra and I have considered doing the rest of the car in film, but think I may try working on her myself instead.
Bob Z. - not sure about sheen. The wheels are color matched painted Basal black. I used 2 coats of Z2 to polish them. Hope that answers your question. Although not recommended, I toped them with a 3rd coat of Rejex. Can't hurt.
I guess I should have asked if they were gloss non-metallic or metallic?

Very nice. Are those PCCB's or just painted calipers? I've debated getting some front end film or ceramic coating. I honestly never keep a car long enough to get the ROI. Plus, it's a weekend car so I keep the overall miles down. Enjoy. I love the 993 in your avatar. I got really close to pulling the trigger on one of those last year. I just couldn't bring myself to spending to paying someone a large amount of money for a car with 80K+ miles that most likely needs an engine out service.

They are PCCBs. I wanted better performance than the stock brakes and while they are expensive, the aftermarket kids are as well and you don't get a factory warranty. The lack of brake dust is nice too.
I do miss my 993... would have made some nice money on it if I had kept it longer. Oh well. Way more performance (and comfort) in the new one though!
