I am going to try to detail my car, the only other car I have waxed was my previous bonneville, and I messed it up a little, so I am a little scared, but I feel I have done enough research to do it right. So I was hoping for some suggestions on what to use for a black car, or if it doesn't really matter because a good shine is a good shine. I have been reading good things about meguiars, mothers and zaino. Do they make products specifically for black cars?
Thanks alot

Very true and nice Iroc! Haven't seen one that clean in a long time. Basicly I think you're worried about swirl marks left by waxing. My car is black too so what I do to cover any imperfections is use Turtle Wax. They make a colored wax and they have black and red. They used to have others but they stopped selling them. I guess they didn't sell that well. Anyway I use Meguiars and give it a first coat then I'll use the turtle wax to finish it off. Works very well for me.

Might I suggest a buff job first and the color will really come out. You might have a little oxidation in the paint and buffing it out first will work better.

Currently I use Meguire's paint cleaner, polish, and wax. I too have been looking into products that Zaino has to offer. The only problem I find with them is that they are a little pricey. If I were to use their products what I would try first would be:
Z-PC Fusion Dual Action Paint Cleaner Swirl Remover http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=Z-PC
Z-5 PRO Show Car Polish for Swirl Marks and Fine Scratcheshttp://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=Z-5
"For the deepest black, the most brilliant blue, or the most captivating red, there is no alternative"
"owners of dark cars (black, blue, green, red) will take delight in knowing that with just a few simple applications, swirl marks, spider webbing, and other surface headaches will become nothing more than a distant memory."
The first link is for a product that is more abrasive and for deeper imperfections, while the second link is a product for hiding lighter imperfections, but also makes a good polish and sealant.
