I have a monthly pre-pay pass to a drive thru car wash near my job. $35 per month, and I use it 2-3 times per week.

Not the best for the paint job long term, but my black screw is always clean.

I hate a black vehicle, my wife loves them. She currently has a Black BMW.

I have found that using a sealer first, then carnuba wax works great fro keeping that mirror finish in the black painted surface.

Black vehicles are gorgous when clean, but require work to keep them that way. Unfortunatly, there is no easy way to keep black paint looking good 100% of the time.

A power washer and a chamois would seem to be a possibility. I just haven't found a cleaner/soap that will do the trick without washing it by hand. Drying with a chamois doesn't take that long. I have to investigate it myself. I have a dark blue truck. Shows dirt easy too.
