my favorite way for black (emphasis on black - I like other ways for other colors) is wash, clay(Mothers or Zaino bar), wash, Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion, then Pinnacle Souveran. :cool: :seeya

Something to keep in mind, especially on black is to be very particular about what touches you car's surface for drying, buffing, etc. I would recommend that you should only use 100% cotton, Made in USA towels from Cannon-Fieldcrest.

Re: Black Paint???? (oldace84)
The "black" is the base coat below the clear.
What you have to be concerned with is the light refraction created by marring of the clear, not the base coat black.
Think of a magnifier, for with black (my vehicle is black, my favorite) it reflects back different than other colors of base coats.
If marring is present in the clear, it appears to be more severe.
That is what you are dealing with, not the black base coat, but the way that light creates the affect of the marring, bounces back from the "clear" over the black base coat.
