GM is far from black, more like brown.

Ceramic clear coat is on the new Mercedes and such, it's a much harder clear coat, which reduces swirls, and marring, but in turn when it does swirl it's much harder to polish, and its more expensive. However since this isn't a trailer queen I want a durable finish, otherwise I'd do just a regular clear.

The water base I've been told "pops" a lot more, but in turn the ceramic is very slightly more dull then regular clear, but not to the point where you would notice it.
