I'm back into the forum after a hiatus. I am a a 54 year old full time college student majoring in History at Oregon State University. GO BEAVERS!! We recently purchased a new DD for my wife, a 2008 BLACK Kia Amanti. I now remember the love/hate relationship with a black automobile.

I was also blessed with a deal on a 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GTV6 at the same time (another story, but I ended up paying only $995 and getting $12,000 in trade for a 2004 Nissan Frontier) the color being metallic blue

. It has a bunch of miles on it (road rash from highway commuting...Mr. Color chip?) but it is my new baby!!

My main challenge for this forum is mastering a black finish. The Kia has the "old man" car wash longitudinal hazy scratches. My plan is to try PB Black Hole with my PC at low speed. I know it is a stop gap measure, but I am waiting for an order of new buffing pads/product to fit into the car care budget. I am glad to be back in the detailing saddle again!
 
Welcome from just a little west of you! On the coast @ Newport. Black is so much fun and rewarding, and also such a pain and lots of work!

Cough! GO DUCKS!:buffing:
 
Welcome! If you ever in Portland, let me know.
 
Welcome. The great northwest is right. It's beautiful over there! Good luck with your

black. Like one person on this forum said "black is a part time job". I could'nt agree

more. It's the cleanest car on the road or the dirtiest, no in between.
