I know this has been said many time but, why do I never get tired of looking at these cars?

This is the first black car I have ever owned, and man it drives me crazy.

So...Do the Zaino products provide instructions that, if followed by a rank amateur, actually work to prevent the kinds of issues that can arise with black paint?

If you go to autopia.org, its a great detailing forum, most people are pretty obsessive about detailing there. I spent some time there and I learned a lot. Amazing how much time you can really spend on detailing your car.

I had to laugh when you mentioned that you knew where every scratch, chip is. Misery loves company.
Too much time on your hands? Buy a black car like mine (ours), it's like a second job....

I know that some of your neighbors hate your guts. Junk, junk, junk, Black Carerra S, junk, junk, junk...

Black is tough, but it looks so good when done. Guess what I'm doing this afternoon?

island, your car came out great.

scott, your mexico blue 911 is f*cking fantastic

I did mine as well a couple of weeks ago. Washed, clayed, polished, washed, and 3 coats of sealant glaze.
