Never buying a black car again... Fucking swirl marks drive me insane.
I ordered new coil packs for my car, SOOOOO worth it. Idles so smoothly and quietly you wouldn't know it was on and there's much more power at the pedal that never used to be there, gas mileage went up a little bit too for sure. This is the tune-up part to have for Ford modular engines with 140-150K on the odometer.
Protip: Get touchup paint from an automotive store. Find yourself a good applicator for it too cuz the pen-tips NEVER work on those things and the brush cakes it on. But it does wonders for missing paint chips on the wind-torn hood/grille area as well as bumper corner smudges.iceman785 wrote:

It's not chips or anything, it's just when you wax the car the buffer machine puts loads and loads of swirl marks into the paint. You have to buy a special kit that removes the swirl marks, it does this to every car, just black makes it stand out like crazy.
Buff it by hand?
If the women don't find ya handsome. They should at least find ya handy.

You realize, it would take well over 4 hours just do buff it by hand? Not to mention the hour or so you'd spend clay baring the car. It's worth it to invest in machine buffer if you've got a black car.
This is why I buy silver cars.

Taking your time and having patience leads to high quality.
Your choice, just don't go bitching about the finished product.

A machine will buff just as good as by hand... Just takes 1/4 of the time.UnkleRukus wrote:

I love the finished look of a black car, but maintenance on keeping it that way is way too much work.
obviously not if you get swirls..iceman785 wrote:

Why go through all that trouble? I've never heard of someone doing this in europe. What's the advantage?
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

4 hours? it takes a half hour to polish my black mid sized truck. the only time you need a buffer is if you have to get scratches out. and you only put swirl marks in a car if you are using the wrong pad or the wrong product or you didn't wash the car first and were polishing the car with dust and dirt.iceman785 wrote:

To claybar, buff, cut and wax a car takes well over four hours... And that's how you get rid of swirl marks. Swirl marks are part of being a black car, and a buffing machine isn't what causes it. I'd rather use a machine than do it by hand, work smarter not harder. You get the same result.
Or you can buy your vehicles pre-scratched/dented - and leave them that way.
It takes out all the worry TBH.

Its OK, I put the lights on - damn non-Volvo doesn't do it for me, and they're a lot more visible than black cars - another reason not to buy black cars.
Black cars bake in the sun - thats three good reason not to buy a black car.

Nah silver cars are way less visible than black cars. Only time a black car is less visible is at night, but unless you don't have lights on then it's as visible as any other car. Many drivers don't put lights on in the wet, which is pretty annoying and dangerous.
When I apply the brakes, they make a sound much like the sound of gas escaping. Its audible inside of the car as well as outside.

Leading Monash University Accident Research Centre researcher, Dr Stuart Newstead, has warned that the surge in popularity of silver vehicles presents an increased crash risk on Australian roads.
Dr Newstead is the author of the recent Vehicle Colour Study, conducted by MUARC, which found that white is the safest car colour.
The study found that black cars are most likely to be involved in an accident, with a 12 percent higher crash risk than white vehicles, but Dr Newstead believes the study's finding that silver cars had a ten percent higher crash risk than white should be of concern given the high sales volume of silver vehicles.
