(Flame suit on for a hot take)

im not a fan of JBM. To me it looks like regular black with dust on it or a car that’s trying to be real black. Something about the fleck in the paint, it’s just not a great metallic black to me. In the right lighting it can look great but generally I think the hassle of regular black is worth it for a classic black Porsche.

This is not JBM. This can only be achieved with A1. If you're only putting 1,500 mi per year, it won't be a headache. If you drove it daily, you'd need it detailed every quarter in order to keep it looking 100%.

Highly recommend the suntek reaction (ceramic infused) with an extra helping of ceramic on top.

Was skeptical at first but with the A1 black, I couldn't imagine not having something to keep that thing from swirling

Yeah mine will get a full wrap. Not ideal but with a black car that will be nearly daily driven I’ll need to wash it a lot which means letting the guys at office car wash and country club car wash lay their hands on it. So it’ll get a wrap and I’ll take some pills to relax me about it and everything will be fine

OK, regarding the photos on this thread, I find them anything but boring. Of course, YMMV.

God bless us all,

FWIW: I have JBM full XPEL and I used their rinse less wash on my first cleaning. It came out great.

Your car is boring. Should've gone Rubystar. But the drop is perfect!

JBM only looks dusty because you've only seen our cars from behind.

Black relegated to page 7? No longer! Jet Black Metallic after a non-rinse XPEL wash.
