I have a black H3 with cashmere interior and wouldn't trade it for the world. I almost got boulder gray, but every car I've ever owned has been black a I just can't seem to get away from it.
As for the paint, So far I've been very impressed with the quality. I too am pretty fanatical about keeping it clean. I just put a coat of wax (Macguire's NXT) on it this weekend and did notice some of the fine scratches. Mine has never been through the car wash and they're still there. The wax helped out (I highly recommend that wax), but I've never had a car that did not show these type of scratches (BMW 5 Series, 4Runner, Jeep Wrangler). The paint on the Jeep seemed to be the worst.
That said, I certainly don't expect a pait job to be perfect. And compared to others I've owned and been around, I'm pretty pleased with this paint. But the real test will be how it looks in a year.
Hope this helps! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Thanks for posting HumThree - glad to see I'm not the only one with a black H3 that's having this problem (not that I'm glad you have scratches too but you know what I mean
). I had mine waxed about a month ago and you just can't beat the look of a freshly waxed black car. That being said, it's a bit** to keep clean. I wish there was an easier way (still thinking about that Mr. Clean stuff) but if you want a black car, you have to be willing to deal with problems like this.
