Default Black C5

I just bought a black 2001. It has a few small dings on the front bumper and hood. Overall, the paint is in excellent condition. Is there a "black" wax I can use to hide the dings?

Not really. There's a few color waxes out there, but they suck and don't really hide anything.

Just get some touch up paint and use the pen part of it and lightly fill them in. That's what I did.

Give Touchup123 a try. A few people on this board speak highly of it.

This is also one of the reasons I like Zaino since it is applied so thin and does not leave white residue in the chips.
