I want to get the bonnet & roof resprayed and touch up a few stone chips because it looks a bit rough in places.

Thats the prob with black cars they show up every mark.

Yeah mate every single stone chip, scratch or paint defect

Its something you just have to put up if you want the best colour

[cornishdrummer]

Def I would not change it for any other colour, there is something about black cars that other colours dont seem to have.

100% agree. My new car is Anthracite, next best thing and it's great for masking small imperfections you wouldn't get away with black. But it's just not the same!

Anthracite is a very nice colour though mate
I bet your glad to be doing a little less car cleaning but I do agree that a Black car polished & waxed just looks amazing

Ben what polish & wax are you using as your car looks gleaming.

[6N2 GTI 00]

It depends how much motivation I have to clean it normally

If I give it a proper 4-5 hour clean then I use Dodo Juice Sour power shampoo to begin with, Poorboys Blackhole Glaze, then 2 coats of Klasse German Polish followed by a Wax using Collinite 476S.
That rarely happens though, normally I just use Poorboys Blackhole Glaze which really does bring out the paintwork nicely.

My bonnet & roof are in bad condition so I sometimes use Turtle Wax Back to Black on them which hides alot of the paint defects It all depends how far you want to go mate, cleaning products are not cheap these days so its best to find a good product for a good price.

Black Hole Glaze is THE product to buy for dark coloured cars.

Aslong as the paintwork is well polished and clayed, you can just keep topping up with this stuff every clean. It's so much easier to get on and off than any polish/wax. and it does the best job of bringing out a shine and masking swirls and water marks!

Second'd This stuff is actually amazing. Apply this and then collinite on top. the results speak for themselves

Shame they dont make a red one!

I tried it on my flash red Leon- hard to say if it made a difference or not...

[Mr Blobby]

My car has loads of scratches and no matter how much I t-cut or polish it, it will only look good at a distance :/ I am saving up for a respray and smoothing

Poorboys Blackhole Glaze.

Any tips on the best place to get it from ?

[Godderz23]

Either eBay or I get most of my stuff from elite car care. Really quick delivery mostly 2 days maximum.
