Paint.....back to life!

It was a fantastic day today....so....it was time to put that shine back into the paint. I used "color cure" by "turtle wax" and wow!...on my black paint it worked SOOOOOO well! Here are a couple pictures that I took......just thought you guys would like to see how this stuff REALLY made the paint look brand new again...you can see where I applied a small amount....and where I didn't.....

looks good man but ya need to ge some swirl mark remover. I know the pain of swirl marks on a black car. Try tossing some Zaino on there with the swirl remover and youll really see an awesome difference.

I know those swirls marks are horrible on black cars. If your talking about the top....yeah..there was a ton of swirl marks in it...I applied a lil circle of color cure....can you see where I did?..in the first and second pictures...and then....the picture that shows the bottle...looks 10 times better..with many less swirl marks and the color is so much deeper. After I paint the dog house..I'm going to go ahead and use swirl markemover too..just to be on the safe side...
