A clay bar followed by a good wax.

 

Black Magic give a great "wet" look IMO. It also removed a lot of my swirls or at least made them much less noticeable.

 

The S-100 paste wax is very good stuff, just don't let it dry completely, that goes for any wax when doing dark colors.

Wet Paint Automotive Polishing Glaze: cleans, polishes and protects vehicle surfaces.


Does this stuff work as good as it looks? Whew!

 

I've been through this many times with Corvettes. It always comes down to two products: Zaino and Adam's. Zaino is unquestionably the best, but it's also a lot of work. I opt for what I consider to be a close second - Adams products. They are easy to use and long-lasting, American made, and come in large size refill jugs... so you aren't contantly paying for those 16oz pump bottles every time you need more. Check out the videos on their site, http://www.adamspolishes.com/. If your clear coat is in good shape, strip any wax off with a Dawn wash, clay bar the entire finish, and then follow-up with the products of your choice.

 

The photo below that was used in a Zaino poster is what sold me on Zaino, can't beat a finish that shines as good as glass. I've been using it on all my vehicles for the past ten years after reading a lot of good reviews on some automotive forums. http://www.zainostore.com/




Here's a couple black cars from Zaino's website:

 

I run with the Adam's equipment pretty regularly.

 

In between waxes, you can throw some Turtle Wax Ice on there to keep it looking good.
