black exterior trim

Phila · 11-07-2006, 10:49 PM

I have the black exterior trim, (standard on 325s, its chrome on 330s)
and I find it really hard to keep the trim from getting water spots! Anyone else have the same problem?

yep. same goes with fingerprints. they really standout and bother me. *sigh* anything black is a headache

so how do you guys deal with the spots? Quick Detailer? I haven't tried cause I don't have a bottle yet.

black is difficult, but white is a pain too! Every time the road is wet, the wheels will splash brake dust water all over the side of my car! Since it's white, it really stands out. Its gonna be near impossible to keep clean as the climate gets colder and wetter. (>__<)
