Here's the deal on black paint and swirl marks....Polishing is good and removes fine scratches and swirls. Depending on the grit of the polish, you should be able to do this 2 or 3 times a year. A glaze is a
temporary filler that shines for a short time - until you wash the car again! In my opinion this is a lazy and cheap way to obtain a 'short term' shine. The key is to remove the swirls with polish, then use a quality
wax that will last for more than one hand wash! A variety of quality products are out there. But, you must either use a wax or sealer after polish to make the shine last. Also, do not use Ajax to wash your car!
