easy solution--park it in the garage and don't ever move it. I don't think I'll ever own another black car (a nice, dark, deep blue would be great)...I've had three black cars and it's really worn me out. I detail cars for a living, so it's pretty had to muster up much motivation to clean my car 3 times a week after cleaning everyone else's for 10 hours, especially with all of the construction going on in my neighborhood. But, on the other hand, there's nothing better than a clean black car, huh? Honestly, I've found that keeping on top of things really helps. For example, if you're pretty religious about waxing, etc, when you just want to soap it up for a quick night out, it'll be a lot easier than setting aside and entire morning and afternnon to get ready to go out. I know I'm not much help..so all I can say is more of the same "zaino, zaino,  zaino."

Eric, did you receive the Group Buy coupon yet? If so, email it to me (Antiramie@aol.com) so I can get the money order in the mail by tomorrow. Im putting us down for Z1, Z2, Z6, and a couple applicator pads (plus we get Z7 car wash and another application pad free). I have a clay bar already. Sound good? The total should be $40-41.
APT, I can still get the money in the mail by Friday (17th), as long as its dated by the 17th right?

Do yourself a favor and get some Z5, even if you replace it with Z2. And with two of you, get at least two bottles of Z6. Heck, I might just order a case of Z6 next time at the rate I go through it compared to the rest. So, get: Z1 Z5 Z6 Z6 some pads Yes, get it in the mail today!

3M polish is better and I use it, but once you get a few coats of Z2 on it, the 3M SMR will rub the Zaino off and you'll have to start over in those spots. Just a caution. Either way will look great after one coat. It's the 2 month down the road issue I see when you have really light swirl marks and a coat or two of Z5 would be enough.
Stop by that post office soon.

For day to day cleaning (between washes and waxes) I use the California Car Duster on my Black SVTC, Black Ranger GT truck, Black Cuda and Red Fiat. Well, three out of four black vehicles ain't bad! Karl
