    That's what I meant! I'm anal about the cleanliness of my car too, seriously, my wife thinks I'm totally nuts. Here's an example ... forget the rain and stuff, I won't drive it if it's too cold in the morning cause it'll get condensation all over it! Idiot. AND I won't drive it if it's too windy cause it'll blow dust all over it!! Moron. I know, I gotta big problem. :dumb:

    I like Meguiars, and i just use a wash mit on my wheels while keeping the hose on the "shower" setting...this lets me get the whole wheel even the inside...and it gets all the dust away...just gotta wash the mitt every now and then lol

    Yikes, that sux bro, black cars are hard enough to keep clean I can't imagine driving one in the snow all the time. I'm such a clean freak I'd probably ... :blowup: LOL!!

    When i get home over break, I might have to try that!! Is it complicated or just feel the car out??

    but reverse looks like it would be a different kind of thrill! I have done it in circles with my buddys camero, and my old truck several times!! I am yet to perfect the use of the hand brake though. It will be interesting. I will try to get a video so you all can get a good laugh!

    oh i know...when i had my mustang (which was black)...it started off as my only car...so it took so much effort to keep clean...which is why my truck is silver and my car is red haha...it just sucks cause black is so freaking sweet but it just takes too much time to keep looking as perfect as i need it to look lol :headspin:
