What is the best way to polish black paint on a car?

I have a black 2006 Honda civic si. I recently purchased turtle wax for black paint. It comes in a spray bottle. Today I washed the car, dryed it off with a sponge-like rage called "the absorber". It looks like a shammy, but it's sort of spongey and rubbery. I've had good experiences with this rag in the past. I parked the car in the garage to let it cool off, then I applied the turtle wax spray using one side of a microfiber cloth to rub it on, then turning it over and polishing it off. I own an orbital buffer, but haven't used it in a few years. My goal is to get the swirls out of the clear coat and add a shine to it. My last car was green and I would wax it with a compound, once every year so. I am seeing that it is quite difficult to keep black paint clean, as it shows everything. Please tell me your ideas, tips, tricks, do's and dont's. Much appreciated! :-)

    Best Polish For Black Cars

  • 7 years ago

    If you own a black car, they can show up dirt and finger marks more so than any other car colour out there today.

    They need that special touch to keep them gleaming and protected and we often get asked “what is the best car polish for my black car?” so we can help you with that one.

    If you get your product right, you can bring black cars looking like new again – simply stunning results.

    x1 shine and seal paint protectionFirstly let’s get one things straight – car polishes usually have a slight abrasive in them that takes away a miniscule amount of your paintwork whenever you use them – this is like removing the dead skin.

    Car waxes do not contain that abrasive and are used for protection only and used to increase shine but you should be aware that these waxes do melt so it will not last forever on your cars paintwork.

    swirl remover and a pro buffer. or else a lot of time and rubbing and fuss and worry.

    a detailer can do it in a few minutes, and did you know they have car detailer shops at some of the goodwill stores now?

    If you bring the buffing compounds in stages that swirls require they can do the labor...sort of. but 20 bucks is alot cheaper than a pro detailing shop.
