What's the best polish to bring out the shine on black cars?
I used to use Autoglym Super Resin Polish and Extra Gloss Protection on the Corsa (Arden blue) and it was great, but very laborious and the end result was very dusty.
Any polish suggestions and/or examples of shiny black cars in the form of pics, oil paintings, Etch-A-Sketch doodles, etc.?

I've used Turtle wax colour majic on my dark blue car, and it's always came up well when using it. The added bonus is the polish is the same colour as the car, and so's the dust, so it's not as noticable  .

Cheers guys, some very shiny cars there!
I've heard lots of people talking about the Meguiars 3 Stage kit. What is this? Any good for black cars?
Where's the best place to buy all these cleaning products?

On the subject of polish, when you get bits of cack on the paintwork, then polish the car and get little marks all around the little specs of cack, is there an easy way to get them off? Maguires do some clay thing for it i think, anyone used it?

Rubbish I did a temping job for a wax company who mixed wax for many users from film productions and main car manufacturersand our main customers were Aston Martin, Loutus, Ford and Nissan.
A rep for Zymoll came down to the office and he told me the wax content was reletively low and he doesnt even use it on his Porshe 911. His exact words were they Market their products well in America and this live off that reputation. I obviously know they have a wide range of products but that was the gernal opinion of their rep.
IMO a good wax for black cars would be Meguiars Gold class...it is formulated for black cras
Autoglym is good but after years of using it I find Meguiars far superior.

so you took the word of one dodgy sales rep  based on what iv used its bettered autoglym and meguirs, its has carnauba in which keeps the paint less brittle and less likely to pick up chips, and is dust free
