I'm gonna have my detailer go over it with clay and put a shine on it. The stuff he uses is hard as a rock when its done.. He does my Ferrari every 3 weeks or so and I usually wash it at the carwash with a wand a couple times in between and it still beads water and grime off.. Luckily this black has a lot of metallic flake in it so it should hide scratches a little better than triple black.

clay is good idea but if its a new vehicle your wasting money on it as its not going to do anything. You really have to wait about a year for clay to be effective. Although there could be some contaminents from shipping and on the lot.

I've had 5-6 black vehicles & I learned that white is WAY easier to take care of....so my new EB is white. I'm keeping my 250(6.4) for a while. I may convert it into an airplane (that means sell it & use the casIFAD a down payment) if the EB turns out to be what everyone says it is here.

10 mile one way trip to work, and a total of 4 stops for sure (stop signs) and could possibly be 7 stops if I get all red lights.
