Standard Black Car. Good or bad?

Nothing looks better than black when it is clean and detailed. It depends on your climate and whether your garage has a lot of dust. I had a black 996 and I had a love/hate relationship with the color. I am more neurotic than most about a clean car and avoiding swirl marks. I plan on buying a 997 when I complete a couple business transactions that are in the works, but it won't be black for me...I love the car in almost every color, so I might as well get a color which requires much less maintenance. Good luck in your decision.

Black Car
Hey, what do you guy's thing of basic black. I had a black car years ago, but used it as a daily driver. I remember it was a pain in the *** to keep clean. So, my new car will be a garage queen. Can it be kept looking great or is it one of those things that you just can't keep looking good. I would think it will need more power polishing. How often to you think it needs to be power polished to keep it looking like liquid glass. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

I don't mind putting in the work. I spent alot of time on my guards red 996, so it's no big deal. If I have to see my detailer more often, thats ok. I have to agree well maintained black paint looks great.
