I haven't bought a black car since 2005. Black is just too much damn maintenance + it gets too damn hot in the sun!!!

Very dirty at the moment but she shouldn't need polishing. Or perhaps just a finishing polish before WekFest. I have polished several times between when I first posted this and now, generally about twice a year. I'm amazed at how much detailing knowledge and skill I've gained in a few short years.

Knowing how to wash properly is one thing. However where I work it gets extremely dirty and muddy when I drive my car there there. No amount of TLC in the world can keep you form inducing some amount of marring and scratches when you wash it when it is caked with mud.
No, I've never had a need to check clear coat thickness. Normal polishing with a random orbital like I am doing doesn't take off much of the clear coat. Certainly not enough that polishing twice a year will affect it harshly over the life of the car.
