My car is black and I suffer from the same problem.

I use Obsessive Detail QD very heavily and always try to keep switching to clean sides of a microfiber.

Optimum No Rinse is a great option and once you get the hang of it, should only take an extra 10 minutes over QD'ing the entire car. I can do my car from top to bottom & the wheels, completely dried in under 15 minutes.

There should be a BCSA support group. Black Car Syndrome Anonymous.

It seems everyone who suffers from clear car OCD has a black car. Stupid us.

The only way it will work would be to constantly turn to a clean side of the towel and in the end you may be needing a lot of towels.
Try using a california car duster before using a quick detailer, It removes all the surface dust so as not to rub the dust into the paint before applying the detailer.

I would have to agree I have OCP (obsessive compulsive personality-actually not as bad as OCD) and CCD (car care disorder-from meguiars forum) and they are required traits if you have a black car IMO. Stupid is as stupid does!

Default swap meets

Going to the fall swap meets this month Engishtown Hersehy and maybe carlise I 'll stop by the meguires truck see what they have and I'm sure there will be all kinds of snake oil salesmen with their newest and greatest wax on sale. black cars are a pain to keep clean but look oh so good when they are. Its why the street rod will stay hod rod black primmer spend enough time trying to keep the mustang clean

I like Klasse All-In-One on a black car. Top this off with Obsessive Wet Wax and get the protection of a Synthetic with the depth of Carnauba.
