A ceramic coating will not fix that, nor will it prevent from happening/getting worse.
I have to agree with you there. If I didn't work at a car wash I would have never gotten black.
More like wash yourself only, ZERO exceptions, not once ever. And learn proper wash techniques, high quality chemicals, and use meticulously clean and maintained tools and sponges.Touch wash or any wash?
Thank you!! Only thing is it sites outside.Yeah. I am going to have to look into that. That truck looks sharp!
The only way to keep the black clean is to paint the truck....anything but black LOLDoes anyone have any suggestions on how to keep a black exterior clean for more that a few minutes after coming out of the wash? I work for a car wash and run my truck weekly but it still looks dirty the moment it rains or anything. I have heard mention of an after market wax/finish that is supposed to be helpful in this department but wondering what the group has to say about it.
Thanks!

Look into buying something like wolfgang uber rinseless wash and dilute properly with distilled water in a hand sprayer. After washing and rinsing the truck spray this on and dry with a microfiber. It will act as a quick detailer and help with buffing out the water spots with ease as you dry the truck.I would was at home more, but, we have very hard water here and I have had difficulty in the past not getting water spots. Even drying as soon as I rinse I end up with water spots. The car wash where I work softens their water, blow dries and then hand dries the cars. I don't get water spots.
There's another option. Buy two trucks—one black, one in another color—and keep the black one in a hermetically-sealed chamber while you drive the other oneThe only way to keep the black clean is to paint the truck....anything but black LOL
This is similar to what I do. Good example of a quick maintenance wash.I've always had black vehicles and only ventured slightly off to max steel this time around. I have done sealants in the past, and put a ceramic on myself on the Ram. Hand wash each time. But the real time saver is using ONR for all those light dirty episodes or times it got rained on, etc. I fill one bucket with ONR and high quality microfiber towels. Grab a towel, do a panel, dispose of towel into wash basin. Dry with another towel and a light mist of a detailing booster (I'm using Echo2 for both the ONR and detailing boost diluted at different ratios.)
Using ONR like this for all light washes has been a time and sanity saver for black vehicles. The whole thing looks brand new within 20 minutes.
