my black c7 GS
I love My 2017 GS with the red interior and red hash tags
I did a complete Xpel coverage of the whole car since day 1
Been over a year now no imperfections and easy to maintain
Its a showstopper for sure....People loved it at Carlisle this year and even won an award from Harlan Charles he just loved the mods and color sceme...is there any other trophy I would want?LOL
Go black and never look back

Black looks great. And i do drive it in the rain. I take care of it like I do all of my vehicles. I don't obsess about it but i do wash it two to three times a month and use spray detail and dust buster in between and spray wax. Occasionally I give the nose and top half a good wax. Don't be afraid of black if you really like it.

there's no better-looking car than a clean, dust-free black car, especially for the first 15 minutes after you're finished cleaning/shining her up. The time after those 15 minutes, well.......

Black C7 convertibles look so good, the entry level spoilers even look righteous on them !! Just saw one (Triple Black - base spoiler) Tuesday in traffic in Dallas, Texas. It looked awesome!!

Black is beautiful but it shows EVERYTHING from dust to dirt to SWIRLS. If you are detailing kinda of guy then i say go for it as nothing looks more badass than a blacked out car. If you are like me however, i would advice another color that won't give you nightmares about dust, dirt, pollen, swirl marks, etc. Good luck whichever way you go.

I have a black one with black wheels. I clean it after every drive. I don't mind doing it. It's just another way to enjoy the car. I've owned it since July and I've had the wheels off twice to clean them and wax them, including the inside barrels.

Obviously people have different ideas what really "clean" is. Just running some water on it isn't mine.

Power washing is a little more than "running some water on it." Moreover, the water exiting the power washer nozzle is 100% distilled (pure) as processed by a CR Spotless filtration system.
However, I think you missed the main point. Modern ceramic coatings prevent almost anything from adhering to the paint. Thus, a low pressure power washing removes all dirt from the surface.

That's because I was trying to avoid redundancy w/ my earlier post in this thread, where I went into much more detail, but I know well that most people just jump in without reading threads.

Black and chrome awesome combo but as noted does require a bit more attention to keep it looking fresh.
