There is nothing like a well detailed black car. In AZ, the only problem is it lasts ~15 mins!!

it will last only few seconds once being driven. Only way to last the detailing is just keep it in the garage.

The good thing about getting a proper polishing job is all it takes is a proper washing and drying and it will have the "just detailed" look again.

so I guess I have had easier cars to clean and not anything black....what does the paint correction all include? is it a clay bar/polish/wax/buff kinda combo? I am terrified to buy a black car due to it looking scratched to hell and I don't want to leave it in the garage all the time for fear of driving.

It was wash to strip any previous waxes and sealants to show the "true" surface. Clay, Tape all trim and edges, Compound, Polish, finishing polish, clean the paint so the sealant makes a chemical bond, then seal.
