How to Wash a Black Car Without Scratches
Black cars look stunning when clean—but every swirl or scratch shows. Here’s how to safely wash your black car without leaving marks.
Owning a black car is both rewarding and frustrating. While nothing beats the deep gloss of a freshly detailed black vehicle, it’s also the most unforgiving color for swirl marks, water spots, and scratches. The good news? With the right products and techniques, you can wash your black car safely and keep it looking flawless.
Why Black Cars Scratch So Easily
Scratches and swirls are actually present on all vehicles—but black paint reflects light in a way that makes every imperfection stand out. Even minor dust or improper drying can leave visible marks.
