shiny
just for anyone out there who may have dark colours and are frustrated with swirl marks and blemishes.......i have a black vyII......go over the whole car with Meguiars "Scratch X"...apply with foam applicator pad, and buff off with microfibre cloth........and then wax the whole car with Meguiars "Tech-Wax"...........mine came super glossy and very deep colour......Meguiars tell me this is the most effective way to git rid of swirls "by hand".....cheers

Aaah Meguiars, IMHO the best car care products on earth. I should have shares in the company cos Ive got so many of their products! That NXT Tech Wax is the bomb!!

Nice work!
3 hours to wash, polish and wax is good going. That'd take me a day and a half! Spose there's not as much to polish on a ute...

If you hit it with Scratch-X and then Tech Wax, the way blackgully stated in the very first post, it will get most if not all of the marks out. That's depending on how bad your marks/scratches are.
Either way, it'll be a 100% improvement on how the car was before...
