well unfortunately, I found out the hard way that black is the hardest color to keep clean. so everyday, and yes I mean everyday, I wash my truck. I use the Mother's california gold carnuba wash and once a week I use the mother clay bar, then wash it again, then wax with the mother's carnuba wax applied with a black and decker polisher. it's timely and pisses my wife off lol. I was actually advised to have the truck "color sanded and have about 3-4 coats of clear coat" applied. to save the paint. Karim would you advise this? Oh by the way, saw your work of Devrat's BMW..... excellent... truly excellent.

and here's the finish... beulah eh looking too bad (I call her Beulah ciuz she big and black nah......... but I do miss Bertha thou, which I understand is now for sale by the new owner)

What kind of material is stuck in the paint that you have to clay bar once a week?
Have you tried using an acrylic sealant v.s wax?
