Thanks mate. I've always enjoyed that side of it and having had a load of black cars I guess it's just as well! They are a challenge as you generally can't just get away with a quick wash as you can with more forgiving colours but when black is clean it looks awesome. A few more layers of wax and it should start to get a nice deep shine..

I've also found over the years that using the right products helps massively. Blackfire for instance is pretty easy to get off once it's hazed and it doesn't go all powdery/chalky which again with a black car is a nuisance.
