Black car SWIRL MARK removal

[Timmbo]

Here is your basic process:

Wash
Clay
Polish
Seal (Black Light)
Wax (CG Black)
CG V07

Exactly the products in my arsenal for my black GT. For the polish I use Menzerna 4500. Amazing polish that literally produces a mirror finish.

Yo Seer...what about CG's Pete's wax as a cheaper alternative to black?

It won't fill, it's also a pure wax, so it won't last long on darker cars in the summer.

That being said, Pete's looks nice.

Cool, thanks. I've got to resist the temptation to try to cheap out, lol.

One quick (hopefully not dumb) question concerning Kona Blue. Should I treat the finish as if it is a black car, using the advice above?

So I'm late to the thread but will chime in. After using Meguires Swirl Remover 2.0, on light swirl marks, I did have good to great results. While I did not clay the car, it was not that "damaged" texture wise. I used a 3M foam pad on the Makita, the swirl remover, and then finished it off with a hand Mequires "banana" wax. I have the car about where I want it now, and it was a fairly easy process. My finish was not that far gone though, so for others the clay and multi-step process may be necessary.
