I clay with Mother's yellow bar, use Optimum Paint Sealant, and then use Optimum Car Wax. I usually wash this car once a week, sometimes 2 with ONR (even though I have a hose).

My car has very light swirl marks and scratches that are noticeable about a foot away. It also has water spots, some really bad ones on the trunk.

I do not have a Porter Cable. I would love to know how I can maybe make this car look darker/wetter. Are there any products that I can hand-apply that can get rid of water spots and maybe some light scratches/swirls?

I have meguiar's ultimate polish and have yet to use it, but I am considering getting P21S Paintwork Cleanser. I also have Poorboy's Black Hole Glaze.

this guy is parked outside so i don't think it's really that bad looking. crap happens and I can't prevent some of the marring on the paint (waterspots).

i am more interested in covering up than to do a paint correction.

thanks guys

Poorboy's Black Hole Glaze. from what i've read, it's designed specifically for black and dark colored vehicles n the reviews are nice too. You can top it with a sealant

i'm ordering a 16 oz of it.
 
P21s paintwork cleanser and Pinnacle Paintwork cleansing lotion work great by hand application. But if you really want remove water marks and swirls, I would suggest a machine!

Black Hole (Glaze) works wonders for exactly what your looking for, but unpromising when being applied by hand. Try to get your hands on a DA and apply it that way, you will notice the within the first minutes.
 
"Black isn't a color, it's a part time job"
:iagree:
And a full time headache if you have detailing OCD.
 
Menzerna SIP / PO85RD
Master Blaster (This is a must, I found most of my swirls were coming from drying).
Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant

I meant I add a ounce of ONR to the existing shampoo and water.
 
Im in the exact same predicament with my Jetta. I have an assortment of products that I want to try out when I get a chance and will post my results. Right now I have on hand/ on order:

-Wolfgang TSR
-Wolfgang FG
-Poorboys BH
-Wolfgang DGPS
-Dodo Juice Blue Velvet Pro Hard Wax
-Dodo Juice Purple Haze Pro Soft Wax

I will also be working by hand and since I know it is very hard to correct these problems without a machine, I am hoping some applications of Wolfgang TSR/FG topped with the Poorboys to cover it up will virtually elimate the problem areas. Being so minor I didnt think it was too much of a fantasy!

I also read the Dodo wax combination should make the color come out the way you are looking for. While I havent tried them on my own, I will post my results once I get a chance to try them out.

I was able to get all small samples of these to see if I like before trying them out.

should i consider a paint cleanser like P21S? when i used scratch X 2.0 a while back, i was not able to get rid of all the hazing. will the paint cleanser do the trick? i also have meguiar's ultimate polish. will it be a waste of time if i use both the ultimate polish (by hand) and then the p21s paint cleanser?
 
black hole..Love the stuff, Fuzion and Souveran are my main items I use on it regularly
 
normally you don't need to use a paint cleanser if you are going to polish

instead of p21s I'd try prima amigo
 
I have had really good luck with BFWD and Pinnacle...

I used Blacklight and AGHD as well but it didnt last long enough...

Got a tip for you...one of the best kept secrets....SONAX Nano Technology Paint Cleaner (NTPC)...

Go to the Detailed Image home page...read Todd C's review of this product. If you have black car, this may be a really nice thing to add to your lineup (notice I didn't say arsenal...hate that word)..
