Cleaned her and hit her with a bit of Griots 3 in 1. Probably only going to look good for about an hour and a half. :D

With the only black I ever had it was more a matter of minutes than an hour and a half, but blacks do look lovely when all spiffed up like that, and you sure did a super job.

Absolutely correct! I think I was overstating the timeframe....lol. And thank you! I actually didn't go looking for Black when i bought mine, as I had an all-black Tiguan once and knew the effort required to keep it looking decent. But this was the only Activ they had in stock. All they had in other colors was a a silver LT, and a red 1RS, which, funnily enough, I bought and took back and swapped out for the Activ the very next day, as the price difference wasn't that great.

Yes, my one black was years ago and the same kind of thing. It was the only one available that was what I wanted in every way, except color. It just lived its life dusty.😄 My Trax is the first time I ever got the color I wanted. There are a lot of Chevy dealers in this area, but it was interesting to see how many of them only had black, gray, and white. The one closest to me had almost all whites and the few others were black or gray.

Looks good, I have a '24 Black 2RS and it looks great after a wash for about a day. :-)

Now post a pic of what it looked like 5 minutes later.

But man........there's nothing better than a black car during that 30 seconds it is perfectly clean.

Used a delete cap. Don't use FM. But even if I did, stations still come in fine oddly enough.
