I have used both Pinnacle Advanced Swirl Remover and Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish with GREAT results. What product should I use to protect the paint on my 'black' SUV while helping to cover up any remaining deeper scratches?
 
While it won't be a permanent solution to your problem, a glaze like Poorboy's World Black Hole would do the trick. Apply it after polishing and before you apply the sealant/wax.
 
You might be able to remove the deeper scratches by using the Pinnacle Advanced Compound with cutting pads. if you don't want to go more aggressive you can always try a "Glaze" after your polishing step and before your wax. As Desertnate mentioned above the Poorboy's World Black Hole Show Glaze works great. Good luck!

Pinnacle Advanced Compound, swirl remover

Poorboys Black Hole Show Glaze can be applied any time to hide minor imperfections and to enhance gloss on black, red, and all dark vehicles.
 
Thank you both Desertnate & Bobby B. for the tips!! I'll have to give Poorboys Black Hole Show Glaze a try before I apply a wax. I used the DA Polisher for both the Swirl Remover & Finishing Polish steps.
Do you prefer the DA Polisher or by hand for both your Poorboys Glaze application and for waxing afterwards?
 
I like to use a DA Polisher for applying Glaze and Liquid Wax. I usually just apply Paste Wax by hand, but no issues using a DA Polisher.
 
Some waxes (or hybrid sealant/waxes) also fill better than others. Most carnauba waxes fill well in my experience. Megs NXT/M21 fills really well but they may have enough cleaning power to impact the previous glaze step (just a thought). I think Collinite 476 and 915 fill well.

For larger scratches these likely won’t make the RIDS disappear but may make them less visible under certain conditions.

Additionally, numerous spray waxes can fill: Megs UQW, Pinnacle Souveran Spray, etc.
 
Can you use any brand was/sealant over any brand glaze? I have wondered if there would be any lost of longevity with using a wax/sealant over a glaze.
 
Poorboy's Black Hole and Prima Amigo are designed to be topped with a sealant. I don't know if others like 3M Imperial Hand Glaze will work the same.

I've personally used Black Hole and Amigo several times and topped them both with Collinite 845. I never noticed any difference in durability of the 845 compared to times when I applied it to a bare surface.
 
Thanks for the replies.

Before I discovered Autogeek all I used was Meguiars products since they have a store in town. My go to back then was either NXT or M21 over M7. I guess I was following your product Synergy and didn't know it. ��
 
What are the differences between Poorboy's Black Hole and Prima Amigo, if any ?
 
I have used BlackFire BlackIce Hybrid Montan Sealant Wax after correcting / detailing my 'black' BMW X3 and it looked great! I may be purchasing a 'white' BMW X3 for my wife and wondered what type / brand wax is recommended on 'white' paint?

I just saw this question with the revival of this thread. Hopefully Kneel will see this...four months late....

From my experience Black Hole has significantly more fillers than Amigo. Amigo I believe actually has a few mild abrasives/cleaners in the formula, so while it won't hide defects as well, it actually produces more gloss. Black Hole is also a dark color (vs. the White Diamond which does the same thing but has no coloring), which might add to the look it provides.

Black Hole really added some depth to a black car, while Amigo didn't add much depth, but did amp the shine a bit on a vehicle which wasn't polished out. For that reason I found Amigo more versitile because I could use it on any color car vs saving Black Hole for...well...a black car.
 
Hi there Desertnate! I appreciate the feedback. While i have an expert....last year was the first time I used this forum. I was actually trying to start a new message, to send out to the world, in regard to my comments above about 'white' cars. I can't remember how to start a new message, so I just piggy-backed my old message from last year (ha). When I try to start a new message it looks like I'm sending a private message and it keeps asking me for a particular recipient. Any help would be appreciated!!

It's interesting to know which remedy you ended up choosing?
