Hi guys and thanks for the replies.. Glad I'm not alone. I wanted the black from the start and am still glad I made the decision...but man the hard water here in GA is rough!
I have been hosing it off to get the crap off of it several times a week and not drying it off because I havent realy washed it and am afraid of scratching it...which in the past hasn't given me any trouble with my blue dodge.
I need to rethink..I guess I need to live with the dirty truck until I get time to properly wash it and dry it. Hopefull the polishing I did last night and the 2 coats of mcguires gold wax will help...being on the coast probably doesnt help either.
When I detaild my dodge before the trade in the hard water had actually ETCHED all the glass and side view mirrors nothing I used would take it off..nothing. My friend who has his own paint shop said for the glass sometimes a double 0 steel woo will remove it but if t is bad enough it wont. I even waxed the glass and side view mirrors.
I have more concerns, seems like everyone is using mor plastic on there car manufacturing these days..the sun is unreal hot here in GA and I am afraid of all the plastic sun fading. I know I cant worry about what I cant control but other than the mothers back to black is there anything that will help prevent this?
Plus I need to try and get the water spots off the hood loover area..bad spots on it. I got some plastic/vinyl cleaner and protector from mcguires I guess I can try this..
In conclusion I love the black when it is clean it is intense looking for sure, I love how the handles and most of the plastic blends in, the truck IMO looks more like a complete unit rather than all the other colors the handles and side view mirrors etc look added on and do not blend well...again juts my opinion.
Thanks for the replies and keep on waxin!
