CheersWife’s choice was black. Hate trying to keep it clean but it looks decent when it is.
i think a ceramic coating does wonders for a black car, mine is near 2 year old and when I was it I’m still impressed with the gloss and little swirl marks.
Sometimes you can't help but look at your car once you have washed it! Post your pics..

I've owned 4 black cars, and they're gorgeous when they're clean, but I know exactly what you mean.....

A very very quick 1st wash of the X5 seeing as it's not snowing lashing or blowing a gale! Purge, ultrafoam, run around with a gleam filled wash mitt finished with a drop of ultraslick
Wheel woolies are essential, they're just soo handy. Going to have to order more ultrafoam and tyre slick from @Big Pimp this thing is quite the unit!

No, was careful to remove battery so as to avoid this.
Thankfully it worked, and started again after!

Quality! Rare enough car back in the day! Are you around Donaghadee? Mate has spotted one around there.

even your laid back photo taking is just cool!
Remember seeing this a couple of times, and they really were such a quirky, typically French off the charts mad, but its still got character in abundance
Now that we are a 1 car family and I'll be driving the CRV a lot more, I had to sort the inside of it. 2 boys (1 and 4 y/o), a labrador and carefree wife means there was anything from much and sand to empty food wrappers. So far I've the boot (incl spare wheel well) vacuumed, degreased and dressed, all mats out and vacuumed, wet vac and sealed, rear seats vacuumed and leather cleaned (will apply conditioner tomorrow), door cards cleaned and dressed and rear windows cleaned.
Moving onto the front tomorrow and hopefully get it washed too. Only took 1 photo as I ran out of light

Last wash, goes tomorrow, managed to get her upto 40mpg before she goes!
Really can’t fault the car at all, super reliable in the 2.5 years I’ve had it!
Just fancied a change for something totally different!
