How do I keep my black car shiny?

Is there a good way to keep my black car shiny? I love my car, and I think the black paint is really cool! But I drive it pretty much every day, so it gets dirty really fast.

Keeping a black car shiny can be a challenge when you drive all the time. But it isn’t impossible! The best way to make sure your car stays as shiny as possible is to wash it and wax it regularly.
Car wax protects your car’s
paint job
from fading and helps the exterior of your car shed water. Without moisture collecting on your exterior, you won’t see as many watermarks or spots of dust.
If you’d like to go a step further, you can also keep your car covered when it’s parked. That way, you can keep dust and small particles of dirt off your car’s exterior. Be aware, frequent washes and waxes can add up. If you don’t want to spend too much on your car, try incorporating washing and waxing into your
car maintenance schedule
