As for keeping a black car clean, its not keeping it clean thats hard, its once you get it clean and see the micro swirls (it'll make your heart sink). White cars are hard to keep clean BUT once you clean it you cant see the swirls. I wipe my car down with a damp microfiber towel everyday, havent shampooed her in 2months, white takes daily effort to keep clean but no swirls

HAHA thats what im going to do. But i want one to take home. I wonder if they charge? MY sister wanted one with her RX400h but they "ran out". So this time im going to tell them i want a bow or no deal. haha i just want to park it in the driveway with the bow and let everyone know i finally got the car. I also planned on takeing it to school and put the bow on and walk out of class and pretend im surprised but that was way too over the top hah.
