Hey guys,

Quick question for you...

I have a Black Cavalier and I am wondering what products will really make my car shine like new again. I know it's probably a question of personal preference i.e. (Mother's vs. Meguiar's) but there must be something out there that can really help me out. My car has seen better days... I bought it used with quite a few scratches on it that I am not too worried about, I am more worried about the classic swirl marks black cars are all too familiar with. So is there any combination of products/buffers I should try using to really get a good shine back to my car? I have used Meguiar's gold class wax by hand and that gives a good solid black but doesn't really give an overall shine to the car.

Any help would be great

Thanks guys

I use nothing but Mothers products. I would suggest using the Mothers Clay Bar System and then following that with the Mothers Three Step Wax System. I did this process on a black Expedition the other day and that thing looked like a freaking mirror. I always wax by hand. Also, after you use the clay bar you are supposed to wash the car again to get rid of all the dirt and grime the clay bar brings out of your paint. It's a pain, but well worth it in the end. If you decide to use this process, be prepared to spend about four hours on it. Just my opinion though. If you have any more questions, please feel free to email me any time: j_to_envy@yahoo.com. Take care and good luck, black cars are always fun .

I have seen the results of these products and they are totally awsome, even on a black car.

I perfer the meguiars brand better. Check out Meguiars Online Forums. Post what you want to do and they will let you know what products you need.

I did my dads black car the other day. Washed first, they clayed, then used meguiars colox, then topped it off with some meguiars nxt wax. It looks bad ass right now. Looking at the paint is like looking at a mirror.

meguiars 3 step system, cleaner,polish, wax.

Now I work at a Automotive detailing shop and on any car especially black that are pretty scratched up we use a buffing wheel the ones that can spin up to 7,000 rpms and first wheel the whole car with a liquid compund and using a foam pad. Then wash the car again. Next we use a wool pad on the wheel and wheel the car with a cleaner wax(be sure the wheel is flat against the surface and is set at medium speed or you will get wheel marks all over the car). Last give a coat of wax and when you remove the wax it will look almost like a new car. Any other question let me know.

@ FuSiOn 04: The Mothers Three Step Wax System is amazing! I love it. The first step is a Pre-Wax Cleaner. The second step is a Sealer and Glaze. And the third step is Pure Caranuba Wax. Mothers recommends that the first step be done only twice a year, but the second and third steps can be done as often as you wish. To get more information on this system, check out the "Paint Care" section of the Mothers website. If you have any more questions, please feel free to email me any time: j_to_envy@yahoo.com.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I'm thinking I'll try out the three step system. Seems like the best bang for the buck.
