After you get done detailing it, put a cover on it and never ever take it off. I can't keep my truck looking mint for more than a day.

Black freaking sucks, I will prob never have another black vehicle.. Key is to just keep it clean.. I try to run my truck through a brushles car wash at least once a week, wipe it down completely dry, keep at it with a detail spray.. I use turtle wax ice when I wax it for real, I have to say it is prob some of the best stuff I have used so far...

I have the charcoal color, and it still always has water spots, especially under the side mirrors, and in random spots on the tailgate


prolly just takes careful polishing after every drive

It's hopeless. My wife's charcoal-colored car constantly has spots on it.

Hmmm, well the water at my house is hard as hell but i never have water spots... All i do is twice a year clay bar, then polish, then Mequirs (sp) NX 2.0 wax... Then i wash it every couple of weeks with regular mequiars soap... the key is not let the water dry while your washing it....
