6 Effective Ways to Wash & Store a Black Car

09 April 2025

The color black can be said to be the most preferred color by consumers for car users. When car owners decide to buy a car in black, they must be prepared to perform extra maintenance compared to other colors.

Don't let your favorite black color become dull and unattractive to look at. It certainly requires more effort to keep the shine of your black car paint looking more durable and maintained.

How to Maintain Black Car Paint

Follow the instructions on how to maintain black paint to keep it in good condition, starting from the washing process to car storage, as follows.

1. Wash the Car in the Morning or Evening

It is advisable to wash the car every morning or evening. Then, wipe it with a special microfiber cloth until it is completely dry. This is beneficial to prevent the growth of mold that can develop very quickly. Mold can occur if there is water on the surface of the car paint that evaporates due to the heat of the sun.

2. Pay Attention to Wiping Technique

Perform the wiping process with a straight motion to avoid fine scratches and swirls.

3. Perform Detailing and Paint Protection Process

Because the clear coat on black car paint is very thin, it can make the car look dull more quickly. This aims to maintain the thickness of the clear coat and eliminate scratches and swirls. The detailing process should ideally be done at least once a year.

4. Avoid Using Detergent Soap

The chemical properties of detergent over a long period can cause the paint layer to dull more quickly. It is recommended to use shampoo and soap based on water that is now widely available in the market.

5. Use a Duster to Clean Dust

When cleaning dirt or dust that sticks to the car paint using a duster, it is best to just wipe it and not press too hard. Because wiping with excessive pressure can cause scratches.

6. Ensure the Car is Clean When Using a Car Cover

Make sure that the car is completely clean from dust first. Because dust can accumulate quickly. Choose a car cover made of soft material to avoid scratching the car paint layer.
