Making Black shine is a pretty common topic . I won`t add to the many great threads that already exist here so I`ll suggest that you do a search . I have no doubt you`ll find hours of reading on this topic . Good luck

^^^ what he said.



The key to getting depth and shine to a paint job on a car is getting the panels clean and mar free (or as close as you want it) then add protection.



That entails the following



Washing done proper (at least once a week)



Claying (once or twice a year)



Polishing the panels (at least once a year but preferably twice)



Seal or wax the finish (Sealants last longer than wax and don`t have to be re-appllied as often)



The choice of products you use for each of these tasks depends on you. IMHO the word "better" is a relative term (relative to the person/company making the statement)



What you should look for in a product is the ease of use depending on your skill set, and whether or not it does what it`s supposed to do to your expectations/satisfaction.



Black cars look great when they are kept up. The probelm is they show every paint defect so they require more frequent atttention.



Put together a plan of attack and post, we`ll be glad to help you get started.

Download and read that.



The procedures for a black car are the same as for any other color, except you have less room for error because mistakes tend to be more visible than on other colors.
