Best product for black car...

[MTM]

In a couple of weeks I intend to give my fiance's black clio a full detail. The car's metallic black and there are a lot of scratches visable. What is the best product you can recommend which will rejuvinate the paint and help it to look as good as new?

Cheers,

Martin

scratch x is its really bad but you should use a machine polisher for that. you could get away with autoglym super resin polish. then use a sealant or a wax on top of it!

If you can afford a polisher then get one.

Thanks for the replies so far. I'd love a hand polisher but am I not right in saying that if used incorrectly you can severely damage the paint? On the detailing threads the results with polishers are always fantastic but it's the potential damage I could do to the paint work that puts me off.

I have the Auto Glym Super Resin Polish already so good to know that might work.

Any other recommendations welcome.

Working by hand you will have your work cut out - I would look into finding someone to machine polish it for you, then follow that up with some easier to use products.

Megs quik wax is good for filling the scratches and swirls..makes them less noticiable.
