I Hate Black Sapphire

I Just Want To Say How Much I Hate This Fucking Soft Color.

Thanks For Listening.

Wow. Ok, I guess you're having trouble keeping it from showing every little mark known to exist? Or how about the fact that it gets dirty while sitting in the garage? Been there. Let's just say my Portal Cable buffer gets a lot of use.

Exactly, you have read my mind, and couldnt have said it better:mad:

Try not to worry about it. Live for and enjoy the moments when your ride is perfectly clean!

SO DO I!!!! Maybe he should of got a white one!!

MonacoBimm · 05-30-2007, 07:08 PM

I dont hate it, when its clean, and when I try to imagine all the imperfections arent there. As I walk towards my car, I look at it from 20 ft, maybe 15ft and then I stop looking at it, because it just pisses me off how you can see everything up close.

You best be knowledgable in the world of car detailing if you buy a dark colored car.

Me too.

If you want it show room condition all the time, wash it more. I am not having any trouble keeping this finish clean and scratch free. Sure you guys are using the right detailing equipment/items?

MonacoBimm · 05-30-2007, 08:20 PM

I wash it 3 to 4 times a week. Im sick of it. I washed it this afternoon, and tomorrow by this time, it will be all dusty and unshiny again

AS you probably already have heard get the zaino pro kit then you will love sapphire black oh yea and a oem car cover.I have both

ArmyBimmerDude · 05-30-2007, 08:33 PM

I considered black, but then everything MonacoBimm has stated is the reason I went to another color. Beautiful when clean, but you have to clean the car every other day! Oh and imperfections are easy to see.

j|rz44 · 05-30-2007, 09:18 PM

My Dad said never to get a black car....
i thought about a black 335i, they look hot clean!
with that lemon int. forget about it!
hard to keep up though!

MonacoBimm · 05-30-2007, 09:51 PM

You know what guys, its unfair for me to bash on this color. Because I know there are lots of people considering this color, and even though its a pain to keep it up, its still nice for the 7 minutes it last. I dont want to spoil any new buyers who were deciding on buying this color. If you have the time, and products to keep this finish looking awesome then go for it. Mods please delete this thread.

ejazbmw · 05-30-2007, 09:58 PM

i like black....keeping it clean is a price to pay though

j|rz44 · 05-31-2007, 12:04 AM

actually i do plan on getting my roof painted black...
think it would look much cleaner on the tiag...
that little bit of black i think i could manage.

My experience as well but it seems that mine is dusty in about 15 mins. PLUS the clear coat seems to scratch just by looking at it. Had some bird droppings on the freshly applied Liquid Glass polish and it blemished the paint and I cannot hand polish it out. I am really disappointed. The last BMW I had was Cosmos black metallic, that looks very similar to the Sapphire( as I remember it) but I don't recall having the same problem.

First off u need to quit taking it to that same detailer u so love!

Second get a Pc and do it yourself
Third take some time and research different products etc....

OR HIRE a DIFFERENT detailer!

here is what your car should look like!

Maestro · 05-31-2007, 09:55 AM

Get a California Duster, once the car is clean I just run the duster over it and it looks nice again.

I pull my duster out in parking lots and boy do it get the looks like I am nuts. Just wish i could dust off the brake dust as easily, the reason I got ceramic brakes for my other cars.
