All the detailers



1st off everyone's got their own way of doing it. (all
3 of my vws are black which responds to some waxes
differently) I like P21s wax ($20) Goes on and comes
off super easy and no white pasty look on moldings. 
3M polishing compounds are great & cheap at napa/pep
boys.  For black cars 3m swirl remover & Imperial hand
glaze are a gift from god at hiding all those little
imperfections.  

YMMV of course,
Tony
