I had a black RC350,worst mistake of my life,after an hour of driving,dirty again. I traded it in after 3 months for an Atomic Silver RC350, best decision ever. This color always looks clean,best decision ever.

Go with black and hand wash only! With like a wool hand sponge and then wax! Obsidian is kinda rare on our cars, don't get me wrong, I love nebula and atomic but black is ballin and I see too many in those two colors mentioned above 👌

Thank you! I also think you can get the best shine/reflective look with Obsidian Black. Everyone always compliments my car for how reflective and shiny it looks. Definitely gives off that deep wet look to it when cleaned properly

My IS was white and my GS is atomic silver. I would not worry. My atomic silver is at least as easy as the white was on my IS.

General consensus is black looks great when clean and freshly waxed, but is a pain to keep up with. Mine has a ton of swirl marks, minor scratches that show easily. Luckily I leased it, and am hoping to jump from a black 250, to a pre owned blue 350 and be able to swap over as many aftermarket parts as possible

To be honest, I really liked the Nebula Gray Pearl and wanted that color BUT the dealership didn't have one with the options I wanted (price point I wanted to be at) so my next best option was Obsidian.

Atomic Silver was my selection, very unique color and neither too dark nor too bright.
I once owned a black car - never again.

Default Black on black

I just bought my IS200t about 2 months ago. Everyone has the NGP color man but everyone knows nothing looks better than all black. Even the guy who finalized my paper work told me nothing looks as good as black does. It's a lot of work too keep up with but don't be lazy and wash your car and take care of it! Hahah <br > <br >

USB.

On a serious note, Obsidian looks amazing when washed, but give it a day or even a few hours of driving and it looks dirty again. Everything stands out against that paint and it requires a lot of effort to keep looking good.
