Looks awesome man, black is hard to get nice.
Yep, claybarring is definately underrated.

Yep black is a B*tch to keep clean! My swirl marks are coming back i hate them!

looks nice and speaking of swirl marks, I picked up Meguiars Scratch X and did my whole hood and didn't see a difference. It got out a big scratch, but none of the light scratches. I think I need to find a wash thats strips wax and then do the whole car to see if that helps. I have not waxed my car for 1 1/2 months, and the water still beads all over so maybe some of the swirls are in the coats of wax????

dish soap strips wax, fyi

Use DAWN dish soap to remove the wax first.

alright, but do you think doing that then rewaxing the whole car will help my swirl mark problem?

Nothing really is going to help your swirl marks, believe me owning a black car i know to much about swirls, you'll probably need it to be wheeled out, i got my car wheeled out a while ago and it looks so amazing after that

[Keego Ridah]

This is what my car looked like after Matt wheeled it out for me, it looked so good!

[SS4Matt]

yeah it was looking mighty fine that rainy afternoon!!

[Keego Ridah]

Damn swirls are back! Heyy Matt, lol

[meissen]

lookin' good! Claybarring is one of the most underrated but yet the MOST important step in getting a glossy, reflective shine. Impurities in the paint just ruins that "wet" look.

yeah i really need to do this to my car before i put it away until 6 rains after no snow (just thought I would throw that in). But what exactly does it get rid of? I have alot of permanent "water spots" on my car and I would like to get rid of them, but not by getting the car repainted.
