My cars black and the Mrs is white.
When I detail mine it looks stunning but when I give it a quick wash to clean it it does nothing for me.
However when I give my Mrs, white car a quick clean, it is so much more satisfying as you can literally see the dirt wipe away leaving a clean car. It kind of inspires me to do hers more than mine  :cry:

That's one super shiny, wet look GTI (and A1). Top job! Really like the anthracite Watkins Glen wheels.

Black looks fantastic after a good clean, polish and wax, but having had 5 black cars in the past, I know what a labour of love it is to keep them looking that good. I've had white too, and like both, but I think white is easier maintain if you're short of time.

I find my Carbon Grey GTD seems to stay looking cleaner for longer than my black mk4 and mk5 did. Seeing your super-clean pair has put me in the mood to do my pre-winter detail, once the weather improves!

Sucker for punishment with 2 black cars, they both look great mind from your efforts :cool:

My wife and I both have white cars which I hate, and the fact we have a Leon FR and Golf GTi looks like his & hers, we just need matching waterproof coats... :huh:

Ah Black is best, well at least for a day and with you on keeping one.

Almost every VAG car ive owned has been black, cant stay away but it gets on average 52-60 washes a year to keep it mint or between washes a jet wash on the drive...... :nerd:
