i went to the dealership to look at the new mazda 3 yesterday, they had a black one and i noticed the paint was a metallic paint. my question is, will this still type of paint have the same issues with washing and waxing and leabving those little scratches? i'd love to get a black car but i hear they are the worst when it comes to keeping them clean

 

Black Mica

Yes, be careful - but black looks so GREAT when it is freshly washed/waxed.

 

ibanez78,

If you wanna avoid swirl marks and scratches, I would recommend using microfiber towels.
