Does it hide the swirls?

I rented a '15 RG on Easter weekend last year, the guy told me they had a couple colors, I said uh, black of coarse, he said yea, Harley only had two colors, black and ugly.

Tip: I rented it for Saturday only, he said they're closed on Easter Sunday, bring it back Monday.

Yes it is suppose to but first, use the polishing glaze to remove the swirls. You can do it by hand in small, circular motions. Follow with the black wax and they will disappear.

I guess it depends on if its worth $12.00 for your bike to be swirl-free and great looking. Well worth it to me.

I've machine buffed the bodywork a couple times, but no matter how much care I take when cleaning, impossible to not eventually get them back.

I bet TexHC has a solution for that.

Thanks for the tip. I've been using the Meguiar’s Gold Class Carnauba but I'll give the Ultimate Black a shot.
