I have owned black cars and never ever ever gonna own a black car again. Even as a garage queen.

Unfortunately, you fell for the black's awesome "showroom" look. The truth is, black cars are a pain in the a$$ to keep looking clean. A black car is awesome in the shade, night, car shows (where you see owners of black cars always wiping), and of couse, dealer show room. If you have other cars and the black car is a garage queen, yeah, it is nice to have. But for a daily driver, the time investment in cleaning it is not worth it. There are better things to enjoy in life than wasting hours and hours cleaning a car. It only looks clean after a wash/detail, until you take it for a drive. And you see every little scratches, swirls, dents, etc. I used to carry a car duster, spray detail kit, etc for the black car. ....not worth the extra hassle. This is just my opinion based on personal experience.
My Camaro is IOM and is stays pretty clean between washes.
