Lol don't get black. As much as I love the black, it's so stressful trying to keep it clean all the time. And when you do see something, immediate panic! When I spec this car, originally it was the frozen pure grey. I made the change last min before going into production. I've always wanted a black BMW and that was the chance. I don't regret it, but just know it comes with a cost.

Same for me with my BSM. 4800 miles in and the paint and clear look perfect. This car looks so menacing in black. I love it so much.

I also have no regrets on the BSM, although do I have full PPF, so I have opted out of the concern on the swirls. I give it a 20-minute wipe down with waterless wash weekly and she's good to go. Can't say the same for the wheels, though. That's a 45-minute ordeal.

Yeah the black wheels are a pain with the stock pads.

When you say detailing spray do you mean something like wizards mist n shine, or something labeled as detailing spray? Wanted to clarify since there are many options out there.

I did ceramic coat the wheels, and maybe it helps with the cleaning, but I'd be pressed to say that the difference was any more significant than a placebo. The wheels still get super dirty and the only real solution is changing out the pads. I have accepted that I will just be spending 45 minutes a week getting them clean since I don't care to swap out the pads.

My Xpel shop hooks me up a few bottles of their detail spray so that's what I use. I've also Meguiar's waterless spray wash/wax as well.
