Our youngest bought some farm property and is moving out to be a farmer.
We gave him our 2500HD and river trailer.
So the wife ordered a new GMC and they look sooo good in black. We can still change the orders color and probably go silver/grey because so hard to keep the black looking decent.
Last black vehicles I've owned I never got the knack to keep the paint finish looking good.
Never figured it out.
Walking out of the Doctors office yesterday and a guy was wiping down his Black Raptor while waiting on his wife in a doctors appt.
The trucks black paint looked like a million dollar paint job. Looked 3 inches deep. Just talked to ya.
"I clay bar it and use Acme polish. Takes hours of work each time, all the time" He told me. "Forget ceramic" he added.
I read you can only clay bar a paintjob a few times before it starts to diminish the appearance instead of enhance it.
Will I be doomed to polishing it in 4 hours sessions to keep it looking good?
Anyone into good looking black paint jobs? No lazy man way out?
