    Keeping a black Cayenne looking fresh?

    Hi all
    I took delivery of a new black GTS and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on how to keep the black paint looking fresh? I had a '04 "S" and it looked great until the sun came out and all the swirl marks appeared.

    I have seen some older black model Cayennes that look like they just came off the show room floor and I'm wondering if there are any suggestions that can be given?

    Thanks
    Paul

    Keep a layer or two of wax on it at all times and apply "rejex" to the outside. That is just one way.

    Refer to www.autopia.org (detailing oriented forum) for detailed tips.

    Hi Paul,

    Once the circles are in the paint work they are very difficult if not impossible to get rid off again. I would suggest to 'Protech' your GTS, this is a company which polish's the car to a very high degree, taking out all the blemishes and gives the paint a rock hard layer of protection. They can also apply a clear film coating to prevent rock/stone chips. The other great thing is that once the car is proteched you can just use a soft brush to clean the car (garanteed no scratches) what safe water and is far quicker to do (very dusty over here in the ME). Have a look on the web, I am sure there is an equivalent over in Maryland.

    Best regards,

    Mark
