Default Clay bar, swirl remover and wax day.
Finally set aside some time to work on the already well taken care of paint. I did want to remove swirls and get some more wax on there. I used a Porter Cable 7424 polisher with Chemicals Guys fine swirl remover and finishing glaze

Man, why do you have to make a thread like this? I've been wanting to wash, clay, polish, and sealant glaze mine. Some swirls are starting to appear, I blame it on dealers washing my car every time I take it there. Saturdays are family days and Sundays are for football so I find no time to take care of it. Good job OP, turned out great.

I did mine about 2 months ago and I think it's about time to repeat. Clay bar, glaze and wax as the snow will fly soon.

Thanks guys for the encouraging words! Swoody, I'd be happy to trade you for your white Turbo. Then you could have a black car to polish all the time.
That is a beauty.

Looks great! Remember that a glaze is not a wax. You now need to apply a good grade of wax.

Not really, I haven't used wax for years, only sealant glaze, the shine last longer.

Your car looks great! I had a black car once. I loved the look but I don't think I'll buy another.

Yeah, this particular product is described as a finishing glaze and wax combination that has carnuba in it.

Very nice work.

We've got clear sidemarkers for you when you're ready (5hp bump for sure).
