Default Black Cars - What Polish

I've just bought a car, my first one in Black

What do you guys with black cars use when you clean/polish/detail them?

Get a Megs clay kit

Then use Auto Glym super resin polish followed with Auto Glyms Ultra Deep Shine designed for dark coloured cars Then if your really keen put a layer of Auto Glyms HD wax giving you this result ..........

Wow, that looks good! I think I have a few carwash swirls to get rid of, would that do the trick?

if doing it by hand,auto glym super resin polish to get rid of minor imperfections,you could also try the poorboys black hole glaze which i swear by,its filler heavy so will mask light swirls.

as for protection i would say FK1000P sealent or the jeffs wekstatt acrylic.

If you're not using a machine, use Poorboys Black Hole to hide the swirls.

As for wax, Collinite 476s if your car gets dirty a lot (and use this in winter), Poorboys Natty's Blue is good for a deeper shine, but not overly durable.

I love Zymol Concours glaze on a Black car, looks amazing, but obviously costs a lot more than the above, so depends how far you want to go.

If it's swirled then you really need to get it pc'd to get rid of them, as said above Poorboys Black Hole does a good job of hiding the swirls.

Welcome to the wonderful world of black cars that you cannot just wash & rinse without having to polish too

Its a glaze made by poorboys. Ive used a number of there products and have found them all really good to use as a novice with great results.

You can find it here..
