I just finished polishing my black tt .. 6 houres in total ... The finish product is more than worth it ..
My car is not a DD, so I keep it under the factory cover if not in use .. Clean it no more than 3 times a month ....

Takes some work, but when clean .. Black is king ...

Be careful what type of "rags" you rub ur paint with. Rubbing her improperly will scratch, swirl and mar ur clearcoat/paint. I ONLY use quality microfiber towels on my car. I only spot clean for bird droppings and bugs. That's with a quality quick detailer spray or paint safe bug cleaner...always with microfiber.

I'm not a fan of the dusters, debris can get caught between the duster and ur paint...hello scratches. If the dust doesn't blow off with a shop vac then it's time to wash.

Black is a lot of work to not only keep clean but to also keep swirl free.

Id go ahead and do this, that way you save the value of the car when you want to sell it again, and its cheaper than going through the hassle of a new car.
