No you got that wrong, after seeing me buy exotic cars through the years and pay big bucks for them not knowing where they would sell, they thought of me as "big baller". Get that nasty thing out of your eye so you can see things as they should be......bad eyesight sometimes causes accidents....
Happy Motoring,
Gerry

Hey Gerry,

Glad you found your way here. How about a tip for dealing with the swirls on a black car.

Stormer:
Depends on the kind of paint you have on it. My guess is you have enamel pant, not lacquer. I would clean and prep the finish (orbital buffer) with good liquid cleaner polish. Then I'd sprinkle some corn starch on a part of it, wipe it off with the cleanest micro fiber toweling you can fnd. If the paint is perfectly clean and the swirls are gone, continue corn starching the entire car a section at a time, Finally I'd wax it with Collinite 426S paste wax, wipe wax off with clean micro fiber toweling. The swirls I believe came from buffing with a wheel. Try cleaning/polishing it with an orbital buffer from now on after you get the paint smooth and clean before you wax it. By the way, Collinite 426S wax is the best you can use, it's detergentproof besides, and isn'y that expensive. Hope this helps.

No, not swirls like that. Just the tiny little scratches in the clear coat on modern Mopar Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl.

I've used turtle wax black box before & it actually works great but I bet there's something better.

On all my previous black vehicles, I would always wax them (by hand) in straight back and forth motions rather than circular motion. It worked well for me.

 

[Stormer]

Yep, I don't do circles & I do it by hand. Straight lines with good quality microfiber but you still see the tiny scratches on black.

Right Manufacturer. Wrong product. 5 bucks. Worked better than anything I've ever seen.

 

[Stormer]

I'll try that. The black box is a black carnauba wax that actually fills the swirls but then it gets washed away eventually & the swirls come back.

The stuff is basically jewelry polish thickened up a bit.
Around 0.3mm sandgrit.

If you're daring, you could use chemical French Polishing.

All this is assuming you have just clay barred it and there is no residue of past polish or wax left.
You are clean down to the paint.

 

[Stormer]

I think I'll just use black carnuba once a year & wizard mist the rest of the time.

 

[commando1]

That damn A.D.D. again, huh?

 

[Stormer]

Yep, already bought the wax today & I'm gonna try to git er done later today. Way too hot here now....

 

[commando1]

I just strip the car clean with a Dawn wash and slather on a coat of Turtle Wax Ice until I wash it three months later.
I'm more than satisfied at twenty feet.

These guys that get anal with Zaino and crap... Totally insane.

 

[Stormer]

I use a California duster 99% of the time & call it good.

 

[commando1]

That works, too.

If you wait, a better deal always comes along...

Always loved the Buck Rogers instrument panels on those cars.
