Expert Detail: How to maintain black color? It's hard.. SF Bayarea detail here..????
Man, it may sound stupid, but this is the first time I bought car in dark color (obs. black) and it is damn hard to make it like factory look.
Just bought 2004 E500 w/ obsedian black color. I washed it using car shampoo Maguier (premium) + sheep skin mit + high pressure water. After washing it there are some minor swirl. It's not significant though, but I have to prevent it before it is getting worse.
1. ZAINO:
How many times should I Zaino my car? Is it some kind of wax? If it is, will it affect the paint layer/coat? Which Zaino should I use if I just want to get rid off some swirl in certain parts only (rear door).
2. SF Bayarea:
Any bayarea carwash that usually washes luxury car such as MB, BMW, or jaguar that can also DO ZAINO TO MY CAR? I am willing to spend some $$ but I got assurance that the washing is perfect and it can save my back too (I have a bad back). SJ, SF?
3. I remembered that I read a thread somewhere about how to wash black color car.. once you master it, there will be no problem with black and other dark colors
Please post your comment/advices... and help your fellas here....
