Title: Does dirt stick to your paint more than most cars?
Post by: sunwolf on March 24, 2015, 05:40:41 PM
All the cars in my signature are black except the Bimmer. My brother and I can wash, clay, and wax the SHO, both F-150's, and the Gator and after letting them sit overnight the SHO will always pick up more dust. This is strange to me because the ecoboost and the Gator both have the same Tuxedo black as the SHO. The other f-150 has jet black. Anyone else notice their black paint gathering more than others?

Black always shows dust and dirt easily... Many finsh products attract dust making it work.  This is one of the reasons I had my car coated... Nothing sticks.

Black cars show dirt, chips and swirl marks more than any other color.

There are some products on the market that claim to repel dirt, by various ways: negative static charge; PH neutral, etc. I have found they typically don't work. That goes for Adams products (undercarriage spray works very well, but it is specifically designed to repel dirt in wheel wells), which I am a huge fan!!

Quart finest coating won't attract dust... my trial is 16 months in the desert living on an unpaved dirt road without stabilizers..... I find the same true of Aerospace 303 for wheel wells... get which ever on is cheaper, but do you wheel wells especially on a black car!
