So if we see "shiny black superduty dually" swerving from lane to lane on the interstate, it may not be a "drunken sailor" but might be you "dodging love bugs".... That detail job really makes your truck look great.

Your guy did a great job ! When you're dodging those bugs don't get blinded by the reflection from that mirror like finish!

Everyone should own a black vehicle one time in their life. Mine was a '64 Corvette Coupe. That thing could get dirty just sitting in the garage overnight.

My Shelby mustang is black to which I learned that black is NOT a color but an occupation to keep clean.

My 2003 Cobra is a black convertible, nothing looks as good a a clean black car and nothing is as rare... as mentioned above, it gets dirty in the garage, with the door closed
The truck looks amazing!

Truck looks great ! For the times you want to give it a once-over yourself, try the Turtlewax product called 'Jet Black'. It was recommended to my by another guy with a black truck. The wax itself is colored, and I assume this is what really hides those tiny scratches you get in places you touch with your hands like around door handles, tailgate, etc. I'm totally impressed with the wax for the $20 I spent. I will see if I can find a decent pic of my 16 year old Excursion after I washed and waxed it at home.
Now I'm not saying it is as good as a pro cleaning, but I can't get over how good my ole truck looks vs. using the waxes I had used in the past.
I do agree keeping a black vehicle clean is a full time job.... but WOW, when they are clean !!!!

Looks great. It's always hard to find the time to keep the truck and camper clean like this. Good you have someone you can trust and who does great work.

It's a sickness man. My F150 Crew Cab was black, then my F250 Crew Cab was black, now the F350 Crew Cab is black. I've had several black motorcycles and my work car, a Honda Civic is..........yep, black.
When I met my wife back in 2006, she was driving an Explorer Sportrack.....black. Then she had a Mustang Convertible.....black. I don't know, there is just something about a black vehicle that has my attention.

Looks like he did a great job...is it still clean? Too hot and too much rain and mud down here for a black truck. Can't beat the look when they're clean!

I had a black car when I lived in Napa. The environment was city-fied and the black fit. Like my suburban lawn and manicured yard, the sporty foreign car always looked good. These days, I live in the country on a dirt road that turns to mud when it rains or the snow melts. Black not good. Its a Dodge truck...so it can handle the dirt.
Black is shore purty, though.

We live out in the country, and all but the last road to the house is paved....and it's gravel and only about 200' off of the main hardroad. My wife, it seems, has now switched over to a very dark gray....a metallic platinum gray. She just bought a Santa Fe' and so she has broken the "Black" cycle at our house......."Traitor"!
