Colours Which Colour Now??

Civic_Fan · 21st March 2008, 16:07

Guys if you remember my last thread, you might recall im having my 1.4 Shampagne Silver Civic for a 1.8 Nighthawk Black.

Problem is i'm not so sure whether black is a good choice, everyone keeps putting me off it.

What do i do???

TTDegs · 21st March 2008, 16:09

Go for the Black, and just put aside a few hours each week to clean it!

Black is simply the best colour (when clean)

it does show up the dirt quite a bit, and swirls if you're not careful cleaning it, but when it's nice, it's gorgious

**** TTDegs, the swirls ....im afraid of those too. I used to dry my car with tissue paper after the jet wash gun thing, you think i should carry on with that approach ? or do you think i'll scratch it ?

Black is most definately the best colour (except for motorbikes and that is GREEN)

I jetwash it, then use a Meguires Water Magnet towel. I can't seem to get the towel to totally dry it, it leaves a few wet smears but then finishing off with a clean, dry microfiber polishing cloth completes the process beautifully with no smears or swirls at all. Costco do a huge pack of yellow microfiber cloths, very soft and work a treat.

De gustibus non est disputandum - take what you like best. The tastes differ greatly, I for instance would have taken white for my car if it was available, the most would say OMG but I like it (nice deep white or pearl white not the 20-year-old-potato-lorry-white). The same goes with black, some love it and some would never get a car in black. Hard to tell...
