When washing the car do it one section at a time. with a black car you want to spray the whole car down first then do a section starting from the top. Wash it with the 2 bucket method. one bucket has soap and water the other just water. You place the washing mitt or microfiber sponge..(do not use a yellow sponge). then wash the top(use back and forth motions not circles). rinse the mitt into the the just water bucket. then with the hose (SPRAYER ATTACHMENT OFF) let it run on top of the car and move it around to get all the soap off. this method without the sprayer will leave less water spots, which is very noticeable with black cars. then dry the with a microfiber towel or chammy. do this till the whole car is done. You might need to change the water bucket halfway through cause it will get black.

hope that helps

If your car has water spots, bird **** spots, dirt spots, or swirls, then you might want to consider polishing it.

1. Wash your car
2. Clay your car
3. Polish your car
4. Wax your car
5. Take pictures of your car (because it might look like **** the next day.... sigh for black cars...)

A day will go by like that in no time.
