I just buffed out and waxed my CL. I cant believe the difference that it made. The owner before me did not care about the paint at all. Also, I should be getting my rims tommorrow, but I wanted to post these anyway!

 

nothin like a black car washed and waxed. keep it clean. loose the mud guards.

 

nice job wat kind of wax did u use
??

 

looks good lose the mudguards and drop that biotch!

 

i love blackcars when they're clean. Too bad they only stay like that for a few hours!

Sometimes i wish i didn't get black because it's a pain in the ass to keep clean, and tiny scratches show up alot worse.

 

yo! Dark, you feel my pain. i've got a 97 prem. black on black and that bitch looks so sweet after wash 'n wax but it is dirty again once i get home from the detailing shop. and i remember the last time i had my car detailed, i took it to the dealership detailing shop (...i know, i know, i am a dump/lazy muthafuka), those bitch charged me my arms, legs and semi-functioning left balls - $138. it has more chips and crashes now than when i took it there; those bastards used a buffer that chip off the "patched" paint (areas). i might get painted next summer or something. i get so frustrated see those little, annoying chips and scratches i don't even wash the car so they won't be so obvious; it's a phychological thing for me. i like my car looking flawless, but it's so hard accomplish that with a black car and living close to washington, d.c. 495.

 

Thanks guys, yea Black is soooo soft. Anything will scratch it. I even have to be careful when drying after the carwash. Anything caught up in the cloth will scratch the hell out of the paint.
I used Meguiars Gold Class. I used a 3M Rubbing compound with a buffer before hand.

And the mud flaps are stock, I never thought about taking them off till you said something. I dont relly like them, just a matter of getting the time to get it done. Till then, I'm waiting for the Auto Glass Center to call me so they can replace my window regulator. And Acura/Honda dealer to call me to arrange a time for the switch recall 'cause she's having trouble starting lately. Hopefully not the starter

I'll take some pictures tommorow after I put my new rims on!!
