black or obsidian black for cls63?
anyone who has(seen) both in person can you tell me what you think of both?
basically from what ive heard, regular black looks better(blacker) but obsidian hides swirls and dirt better...
which one would you get?

One of the main things about black is the upkeeping of it to maintain the look. So based on what you have said about hiding swirls and dirt better, I would vote for obsidian.

I have had both colors: Black on the CLS63 and OB on the C63 Black Series.
Hands down the the OB is easier to clean because it doesnt show the imperfections that gloss black shows.
The flakes in Obsidian actually help hide minor imperfection and surface scratches. And IMHO the car looks better too.
Ill never get a normal black again.

its a tough one. the sales manager told me the reg black looks better
but only if you really like cleaning your car and keep it maintained well.
but if i 3m the whole car, i cant see there being any difference in maintaining it, whether it SB or reg black. would there
