So I have been searching for the Liquid Ice detailing spray that works great on a black car, and I found it locally today. So I washed the Chevelle, then I wiped it down with the detailing spray and immediately started it and was putting it into the garage.

About the same time my neighbor decided that he was going to use his blower to blow all his grass clippings out into the street.

Guess where they landed? ALL OVER MY CLEAN BLACK CAR.

So much for covering it, I have to start all over again. I won't have time till Saturday. What a bummer !!

On the bright side, I love the Liquid Ice detailing spray. It is not greasy, goes on great and doesn't leave smears.

I think I would get my blower out and blow them back into his yard. Got to love people and thier blowers. I think we have blower wars here, my neighbor blows his leaves over to my side of the street so I blow them back. I have never heard of the liquid ice detailing spray, I'm going to have to check it out.

It is not the one made by Turtle wax. It is called a "Clean Up/Detailer Spray" and it is made by Norton.

Here is a link to a page that tells you about their products. If you scroll about 1/2 way down you will see the spray.

Meguiars ultimate detailer spray. It's the best I ever used.

I think that I have the Meguiar's, but I don't think that I have used it. The Norton came highly recommeded by someone who works in a body shop and they love the way it worked on black cars in particular.

I have always wanted to adopt. And I bet that grumpy would not object to adopting this one.

I think your going to find that's a common occurence with owning a black car. Most of the time I don't even wipe it off until after I get to where I'm going. The California Duster is your friend. The MG quik detailer is OK for removing bug guts after a drive but the ulimate is ultra hand glaze #2 from car polishes.com. Which reminds me I need to order another bottle

It's common with any color. I don't clean my until I get ready to go or after I get there. If either garage door is opened at all the car get's covered with dust, I do have black strips.

I drove 35 miles, each way, to a show yesterday. When I got there I found out that one of the guys spent over and hour and a half cleaning his car when he got there. I know that I don't have the perfect show car. But I have the car that I love, and I hope that someone, maybe somewhere will appreciate it. Dust or not.

I will never still looking for other ideas on keeping black clean.

The black 67 SS396 4-speed Chevelle in our garage goes on the transport truck tommorrow at lunch for its journey to California to meet its new owner. I think he is going to be very happy as it is a beautiful car.

I didnt do any of the money part, I just drove the car and sent photos for him .They made the deal and I went after the car and have been Chevelle sitting until transport. I would be very happy with this car .Maybe I can get the new owner to join us here.

Like we have told you before flash, you would be a great politician cause you can probably talk anyone into anything. So yes, it would be great to get more members.

Once he takes possession of the car we will be in touch so I will invite him to join us. As far as being a politician it would never work as I am too honest. I have yet to meet an honest politician.

That doesn't work. Gary is the only person I know that likes both Chevelles and Pacificas.

He is rumored to have a vehicle of legendary status, lowered all around with drop spindles and airbags, sporting drag radials and mags, 4 point harnesses, a twin turbo LS6 powerplant, and the most plainjane wrapper you could dream of.....
