Waxing Black paint
My black S 600 needs a good wax job. I use Maguire’s NXT and it has great coverage but the black paint never looks that great in the sun. It has too many surface scratches.

Any ideas for black paint?

Where do you get it? I have never seen it on the shelf at Kragen Auto or Pep Boys?

I have a black S 430 that had scratch/swirl problems in the sunlight, all of which were fixed by Zaino products. The only downside is that it takes so long to apply -- be prepared to set aside a full day or even a weekend if multiple coats are needed.

Still, the results are great.
