'05 MB CLK 320A; '06 BMW X5 4.8is
Any recommendations for detail products

I have an '05 CLK 320 cab black/black with 11,500 miles (its now a little over 1.5 years old) and it is starting to dull a little bit. Even after a good wash you can really start to see its age. So what kind of waxes or solutions do you guys recommend for imporving the looks. Furthermore, there are 3 scratches on the car, 1 that is very thin (someone rubbed up against it with a belt on and scratched it), 1 behind the door handle (from use), and one on the below the trunk on the bumper top right below the tag, the scratches aren't very deep, on the door handle and trunk one there is still black underneath, is there anything I can use to fix this other than the MB touchup paint (which I have tried and did not like the results from a rock hitting the car when it only had 300 miles on it)? Thanks for the input

I myself use Meguaires products and I learned a lot from their user forum.

My CLK is silver so it's a lot easer to maintain. Nevertheless, I do wash and wax my car in a regular basis. You should do the same.

zaino seems to look the best and hold up the best. in the detailing forums there are many who feel the same.

zaino is my product of choice. go to the detailers board and you will see many others that agree.
