New here. Thank you.

So i bought a new 2019 kia stinger gt awd in aura black a week ago. Had to get the awd as an excuse to myself to spend the money. I convinced myself i needed an awd sedan with room incase a bad winter hit for work. ^_^.

Anyway i'm loving the car. I live in a country area in MD right by the PA border so great mix of roads to have fun on. Its also funny to see guys up here look at the car then check the badge and look at the car again.

Only complaint I've had so far, and its only been a weekish, is i picked the wrong color. Water is super hard out here, its dusty, and im gonna need to find an unlimited monthly membership @ a no touch car wash by the time when pollen clouds to start blowing.

I was thinking of getting a wrap, but I'd rather save up for performance mods after some of them get tried and tested some more.

I lurked these forums for sometime before my 1st post and just wanted to say hi, and thanks for all the info and products you all are bringing forth or suggesting .

Aurora Black is a popular color. Don't listen to anybody. It is harder to keep clean looking, but washing this car is FUN. (Is this me talking? Yes, it is, I just checked; I used to hate washing cars. .)

Could save your life one day, not to mention your passengers! Along with the other safety and accident avoidance features, it might very well be the best money you'll ever spend.

Any dark colour is hard to keep clean ,it just goes with the territory. Ive learned to live with the dust otherwise it requires washing every three days.

While I'm no expert, I'm having a ceramic coating put on this weekends, I'm told the most I'll have to do is spray it with water and blow dry it clean.

Hmm that might be a good option then, ill look into that. Thanks for the heads up

You will need to maintain the coating as well. That means using a liquid in the form of a spray, after the car has been washed. Otherwise that ease of cleaning they told you will wear off.
