I love white vehicle, especially truck which is why I have one. But would I love to have a black Shelby Mustang GT 500 with the flat black stripes on it.

I did too for a while but it seemed everytime I drove the blk XLT I just had to wash it, it did look extra great when it was sparkling clean. My white trucks always seem to look fairly clean even with a little bit dust on them.

Oh ya the black is nice might be hard to keep clean but oh well I enjoy washing vehicles too dont seem to get sick of it and my parents dont seem to mind well probably cause I will probably be the one washing the black beauty all the time but fine by me I enjoy it so far its staying clean

Funny thing we were lookin at this one and a white one pretty much identical

Congrats on the new truck - black and white are the purest of vehicle colors. At least half of my vehicles have been black and they rock when clean if you are willing to do the extra work. The one thing thats starting to bother me is the soft clearcoats and the swirling thats visible on the darker colors.

after giving mine a close wash yesterday, i think my next one will be white... no scratches or anything yet, but the water spots happen like nothing... if you don't dry it off 3 times and get it away from all the moldings it'll look terrible...

its a hand wash system, not a hands free. i won't use a hands free one, i like to take a bucket and wash mit in there and do it all by hand except the rinsing and soapy rinse...

I use those hands free from time to time when they give out coupons or whatnot, but I like using the wand washing too. I find they do a much nicer job.

I prefer hand washing to take the time and effort wand washing I do that sometimes mostly winter months I just find even wand washing doesnt get it that clean sometimes
