It's worth it, I think! All the hard work, muscle grease, and time spent to prep and maintain a black ride definitely yields its results with the wow factor from others who take notice. Great work!

The car looks AMAZING!!! I usually wash, polish, and then wax. I thought the wax for for the final protection.
