Yeah man black sucks! I have a Obsidian IS-F. Everything shows on it. I literally had it detailed and it got dusty before I even picked it up, like 5 mins after it was washed. I am tempted to wrap it in a matte pearl white.

Obsidian/Black = work your azz off! I didn't have a choice and swore after my last black car, never again! This was all I could find in the area with 2K miles on it! But when it is good, it is good, for ten minutes! I have $600.00 worth of crap to keep/get the scratches off and still have problems with halos in the bright sun! That's user error though. I had a metallic grey M45 and it looked clean after two weeks! Not nearly as fun to drive!

I recently gave my friend's car a little face lift before it was sold, it was a 2012 black Honda Fit. As others mentioned, they are harder to care for.

I was able to get water spots off the paint, but some of the scratches didn't come off.

If you're good with a circular polisher or know someone who is, then go for it.
