My Gt is white, and I had a few white cars before that. I am so anal about keeping my cars clean that any color drives me ape shit !

Try being like that, and having to deal with that at college, especially Cornell, it's like the arctic tundra here. I swear, it's impossible. Plus, my $700 parking pass gives me an outdoor spot. And I'm just as anal as you!

I feel you. I grew up in NYC. I was bitching here when it rained a whole week after I took delivery on my X5. I know how much worse you guys have it

Yeah, the day after I took delivery of my '11 X5, it rained for almost 14 days straight. I was so pissed. I am off the charts OCD with the car. There are so many places I will not even take the car, because of "bad" park spots. Disneyland, Museums, ball parks, concerts, beach....are all BIG no's for my car. I drive my family and friends nuts. They are so used to it though, they just laugh and hand me the keys to their car, when we have to go somewhere I deem as "bad" for the car!!

I clean my wheels 2-3x a week, I clean the front glass 1-2x a day, I dust the car with a CA duster 1-3x a day and wash the car usually every week or so (or as needed). I will NOT drive a dirty car. I even pull over to clean the glass, if a bird nails me. I'm car nuts!!!

I have it down to "a science". Dusting and cleaning the glass is really about 2 minutes. Cleaning the wheels is usually a few times a week, and takes about 5 mins (simple green and a microfiber towel). For full washes, I either have a mobile detailer come to the house, or I drop it off at a car wash & then grab lunch (also use time efficiently!

The Spouse drives the Range Rover and likes clean too (of course not to my lstandards...LOL)...but unless it is dirty to the point of freaking me out...I just leave the Rangie alone. Not my daily ride, so not my worries!

Only drive the M6 like once a week, maybe 2x a week. So it stays pretty clean!

FYI--I use P21s Paint Cleanser and their Carnauba wax---big fan of it for years on Jet Black since it's not metallic like Sapphire is--and extremely easy to use.

BGM - looks like it's time to polish. I see some swirls and hazing going on. What are your washing procedures? 2 bucket?

To get them out I suggest Menzerna PO106FA Nano Polish on a porter cable, then protect it with some Zaino Z5 followed by some Z2 with Z6 in-between. I've been dealing with black cars for the last 10 years...
