Car Polishes

Does anyone have suggestions on car cleaning & polish products to keep their cars looking good?. My C43 is Obsidian Black metallic and trying to keep it looking it new. As we all know, black is a challenge to keep clean with minimal swirl marks.

Thanks

I've been a fan and have been using the Meguiars line of products for years. Never had any issues (none of my vehicles have been black though).

I really like Zaino on dark colored cars. I've used them for years and i've never had an issue with their products. Maybe more steps than a normal polish/wax but well worth the results in the end.
For everyday QD, I use Chemical Brothers

Here is a list of some of my favorite car care products

Polish/Compound: I absolutely love Angelwax, though it's hard to find here in Nova Scotia. I also like Meguiar's M105 and M205
All-purpose Cleaner: Meguiar's APC or Super Clean
Best cheap ceramic coating IMO:
Carpro CQuartz 3.0 Carpro CQuartz 3.0
Car Shampoo: I love
Adam's Car Shampoo Adam's Car Shampoo
and
Auto Glym's Foaming car Shampoo. Auto Glym's Foaming car Shampoo.
Leather Cleaner/Conditioner: Meguiar's Leather Cleaner/Cond.

If you don't want to go with a coating, try Meguiar's Ultimate fast finish. I find it to be the best spray sealant, especially for the price. Their Ultimate paste wax is also amazing but a bit more time consuming to apply (but lasts longer I believe)

A better question may be which product doesn't work. I have owned black or dark blue/black cars for decades, and the new nano coatings available are superb. It comes down to putting in the work to keep swirls to a minimum, and staying away from any car wash that touches your car..10 minutes on U Tube will teach you how to clean and wash it..Time and energy will keep it looking sharp..I was tired of driving myself nutzo over black cars, so my C450 AMG is white..First time ever with a white car...My wife thinks I'm up to something....

Pro detailer here. Your best bet is to find a decent detailer who can do a true correction and ceramic coat.

My car sits outside due to customer cars being in the garage. I coated my car in Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra about a year ago. I wash it once a week, this is from yesterday
