Default Black Paint HELP

Picked up my 07 Coupe a year ago this month. My question is what products do you recomend I use on this vehicle to make the black really stand out? I have the Porter Cable 7424 which I use on my other cars with great results. I don't want to do something that may damage the clear coat. Thanks

Check out the Car Care Discussion section for more replies/suggestions/comments than you are able to read. You don't say what condition your paint is in now and that will have a big bearing on what you need to use. All of the modern products are good and won't hurt your paint. Personally, I prefer Zaino, but you'll need to develop your own technique and use what works best for you.

Thanks for the reply. My paint is in excellent condition, i just have a few light surface scratches, looks like the previous owner didn't use micro fiber to wipe her down.

I'd attach a pic but my posting rules say "I may not post attachments". How do I change this setting?
