I have always used Maguires stuff. They do a swirl remover polish that is excellent. They sell linen cloths as well and spongue applicators. They say they are washable and re-useable but I throw mine away after each polish. If your car has deeper scratches in the paint and I can almost guarantee it does you may wish to start with their fine cut. Apply with one linnen cloth and remove with another. You can use a bit of pressure here. Small circles and repeat whole car at least once. When cutting and buffing I usually swirl remove the car 3 to 4 times at a session (just as well I dont restore Galaxies) I finish off with Maguires Gold class polish (new applicator and cloth) One application of this is sufficient. All of my show cars get good coments on the paint. The black supercharged one never had a mark in the paint, looked like glass. This system works for me. Good luck. G.

Some modern cars really do have crappy looking paint.
I pulled up next to a new Porsche Cayenne S the other day, black paint, you would not believe the orange peel in it. Gloss? What gloss..
For the $$$,$$$ they cost you would think they could apply paint properly.

I'm with you. I've got four dark coloured cars (2 are black) and use Maguiars waxes, applicators etc on all of them. The finish is superb. Excellent stuff!!

I also use Maguires products on my cars, i used to use Mothers but i found it was harder to remove the polish residue and sometimes left a rainbow effect on dark colors
