I feel your pain, but its the price you must pay to drive a black car, mine gets washed about every 3 or 4 days.

i have found with black is this. I have probably done about 5-6 waxings already. And I can go through a rain storm and the car is still presentable.

I have a black as well and I told my wife Im over trying to keep it looking brand new. Its a freaken car and its going to get dirty. I wash it once a week and wax after each wash. The car was driving me crazy trying to keep it completely clean.

I know what you mean. I have had mine washed and waxed and sitting in the garage for 3 weeks while my shoulder heals from surgery (it was my right shoulder and I have an M6). I had no choice but to drive it to my appointment on Friday for PT so I pulled it out of the garage on Thursday and I was able go through the gears in the drive way. Yeah, 5-6 and R were a little work but I needed to drive it cause I was going crazy and no one else could give me a ride. The Mrs. had her car at work so it was me and "Black Ice" back on the road again. It was supposed to storm that day though but not until later in the day. Long story short, Beautiful all day, drove to my appointment and sure as s--- it down poured .

Nope, happens in the IBM too.....Everytime I wash my car it rains. I think black and IBM are the worst colors to keep clean.

IOM also.

When kids use to be all over my neighborhood, they would always say,

"PLEASE DON'T WASH YOUR CAR"

Because it was like My Rain Dance

Not true- Cyber Grey with the Black Stripes and rain after a bath are very common as well. But I do understand your pain brother.
