Owners of Black cars, how hard is it to keep clean? Ceramic Pro is top of my list .
Well, mine should be pretty easy. I'm having a "clear bra" PPF installed on the entire car. No chips and no swirl marks. Can use a California Duster and not worry.

Congrats Steve, your Z looks off the charts menacing. Where did you purchase your red wheel lip decals? I have a black on black ZTK coupe set for NCM delivery on 5/17 and really like the red accents on the wheel lips.

They were ordered from RPI designs and are from a company called RimPro-Tec. HOWEVER, I have to call them now because I have a problem with them. They go on in two pieces. First the "track" which goes around the edge of the wheels and adheres via something like 3M tape. Then the colored "insert" gets pushed into the track. Very easy install and I agree they look good. However, after installation I went out for a short demo ride with someone and when I came home (really less than 10 minutes), three of the red inserts were gone!!! The tracks were still there but apparently the inserts blew out. So, I need to find out what the deal is. They're not expensive (about $100 for the set), but they need to last more than 10 minutes.

Many thanks Steve. Your one of the most candid and helpful individuals on this great forum... always informative and willing to share your experiences. Keep the pedal down!

I used to hate black. Not anymore, the front end is awesome! I have a 2016 Z and am getting to grips with the black. When it’s clean it’s great. The other 99% not so great.
