I spray my car down thoroughly before touching it with anything. It just seems wrong no matter how good that product is.

The reason I’m asking is that we’re on well water and we have calcium in our water so i’m always getting streaks unless I hand wipe it. I thought I’d look for an alternative.

Thanks, vsomoza. The wheels are the stock 18" wheels for the base 997.2.

I had a chance to stop by a local PCA event for an hour, which presented a good opportunity to add some more black to this thread:

I've had mine 1 month. Just washed and waxed it a few times and it looks like gnomes have been ice skating on it.... but I love the look of black cars... Going to get it it "fixed" after my next track day and figure out how to wash it without scratching the heck out of it....

My first post, thought it would be fitting in the Black Carrera thread. I've had this car for 3.5 years, been a great car. This pic was from PCA HPDE at VIR a little over a week ago.
