    Thanks, good point!

    I would recommend waxing a black car once a month .

    Also using one of the car soaps with caranuba added will help. Using really light pressuer when washing and drying also .

    I took care of a black BMW for a few years and this kept swirls at bay .

    Although everytime it came back from the dealer it would come back completely swirled up:cursing:

    What I do is mix the car soap 1 part to 20 parts water in a spray bottle, then after the initial rinse I spray the car with it first then use a wet sponge .:smile:

    Hi Page

    Ive used a couple . One I really liked was" KIT caranuba washnwax "bright yellow in color but had a hard time finding it and not sure they even make it anymore so I switched to" Eagle 1 NANO wash &wax" dark blue in color.

    I think mothers makes one also I have not tried

    These can also be used with claybar if the fallout is not bad .

    I wouldnt recomend the caranuba soaps from armorall or turle wax :smile:

    I would recommend one from PAC but I dont see any

    This might help as well, use a leaf blower to dry the majority of the car and when using a quality microfiber drying towel spray a non-silicon infused QD on the paint when wiping..... it will make a difference(also I rinse on the final with a CR spotless).
