lol wash it more often than normal thats what i do i have a black gli ! my neighbors think im crazy washing my car every 2 days.
but black jettas like to show off little mud splatters more than other colors.
also keep your door sill clean it makes it look sharp.

If you wash it REALLY good and use that spray on wax to cover the entire car, then there is this one static brush that you can wipe over the whole car, and it will pick up any dust that lands on the car... Forgot what they are called... They used to be on TV all the time, where you can "get into little tiny cracks and space and clean your ceiling fan with the power of static electricity" those work great... If you run through water or mud, you still have to wash it, but if you wash a black car sit it in your driveway, you'll come out an hour later and the thing is dirty with dust.... Just run that brush over it, and it'll pick up all that crap...


FYI, every time you wash your car, every piece of metal is getting wet, eventually you are going to have really bad rust problems if you wash your car more often than 2 or 3 times a month.

Doesn't it leave lint on the car?

I think Sausageburner is in charge of decals, but I might be wrong. Check the classifieds section, it is the first topic.

Hey man... No problem. We love to do it and that's why we are here.... To talk about our favorite cars. I am having some www.DubNetworks.net decals made from www.stickershop.ca. They will be made of white vinyl, they will be about 10 inches long and about 1.5 - 2 inches fat... I am going to order bulk, so I can pass the savings on to you guys... I anticipate them to be about 2 dollars plus like 50 cents for shipping.
