I have a 1991 black 350TPI Z28 Camaro with 13,902 exact orginal miles and the paint is perfect and never seen winter and its only been in the rain twice .... Now i just posted up a thread in this forum bout keepin my paint clean because black is the most b*tch paint to keep clean, but also can look really nice on a 3rd gen... Anyways im really sick of keepin it clean all the time cuz it get dust and dirt from the Massachusetts roads.. (roads suck *** here) Do u guys think i should repaint the color into a much simple color to keep clean??? Or no keep it original and live wit it...... Anyways thanks for the suggestions from the other thread i posted up

tell me ur ideas please.....

Keep it original and deal with it. I have a black car and I wouldn't have it any other way. No color looks as good as black when its clean, in my opinion.

u should be proud to take care of ur car, no matter what color it is. plus with a car with that kind of mileage i cant see it being driven to often so its not like ur cleaning it everyday. my car is blue and i usually wash it each time i drive it, id treat any car or any color car the same way. it would be a sin to paint htat car

yeah i kno...... i keep it in my garage which its very clean garage.. prob is even when the car cover is on, every few days when i take it off and just start the engine, the car is all dusty and looks like **** which pisses me off somtime but yeah iam gonna hav to keep this baby org...

No matter what color its gonna get dusty and look bad and have to be cleaned black is more noticeable then anything because its dark I mean its black lol.
I thought yea I'll do mine in silver hide any bad spots and won't show up dirt as bad as say red, black or white...... wrong!!!!!!!!!
I can wash it and 2 hrs later its dirty, freakin road crew tearinng up the roads n junk anyways mine doesnt show dirt bad it just gets hazy and has no shine then run hand over it and got lots of white looking dust all over it. No matter what color u got it;; get same amount of dust white hides most dust but when it gets dirty its ugly and yellow. Theres no real option other then clean it up get a cover then uncover for a ride.

i say if its just regular house type dust then you should just throw a good coat of wax on it to make the paint surface slick, and then get yourself a california duster from someplace like wal mart. then every few days when you open her up, give it a good dusting and you should be fine.

thanks alot for the ideas soo far guys. Black can just be the most beautiful color but also can be the nastiest and ugliest color out there

hey nick418, i kno what ya mean by the road in mass are ****ty and all dirty and what not i have to wash my car atleast once a week if i want it to look a bit clean, what i hate is when u wash it and then go in to take a leak and you come back out and it doesnt even look like you washed it cuz all the friggen sand just got blown on your car. But hey i guess we gotta live with it for now

I would give the car a good cleaning.

Start by claying the entire car. I would then put a few coats of Zaino on it. Z1, Z5, Z2, etc. Then put the car cover on. When it gets dusty, use a california duster to remove it. With the coats of Zaino, the dust should just slide off easilly.

i had a black car before my blue RS and i loved the black. i wish i still had the car and the color lol. but i agree if the car is just getting dusty buy a california car duster, it works wonders on dust. very simple to use too.

oh and keep it black

YES, the California car duster... that and the absorber are the two things that I really think are fundamental parts of my car cleaning kit.

Amen brother, amen


Yes, black is a very very very hard color to keep up. As long as it's maintained.....you like to clean...and you like your car....keep it black. I love cleaning my car...I clean it usually 3-4 times per day....wouldn't have it any other color!
