Title: Recommend something to make my black car shiny?
Post by: bobbarley on 21 March 2008, 22:36

I'm hoping to give my Golf a damn good cleaning when the weather turns, which hopefully will include giving her a properly good polishing.  I want to get a good shine, but also get rid of as many of the scratches as possible.  Can anyone recommend something for black paint?  It's metallic diamond black.

I'd recommend:

Sonus Green clay bar
Megs Quik Detailer (I'd get the big bottle of this, it seriously is amazing stuff!)
Collinite No.476S Super Doublecoat Auto Wax - Just brilliant stuff!
Autoglym Super Resin Polish

These should bring your paint up nicely :)
