How to keep a black car shiny

    I have an A8 that is a peach but it's black so when it's washed it looks well for a few days before getting grubby looking again. Is there anything I can get done to the paintwork to keep it shiny and glossy for longer (and easier to wash)?

    A good polish and wax would keep it clean for longer and should keep the water marks away. Having a good coat of wax applied makes it much easier to clean too but you need to avoid automated car washes.

    Thanks! I always wash my cars by hand so don't mind that. It's a great way of keeping an eye on the bodywork

    Claybar introduces marring. So be prepared to machine police afterwards.

    Ceramic coating or a hybrid ceramic wax with add great lasting shine.
