meguires ultimate compound is what I used on my truck with a buffer, then I used the black box, but it wont work on your red. I always have good luck with the 2.0 Ive been using it since 03.

The black pad is soft it's more for finishing so for swirls if you use a wole pad you better know what your doing because a wole pad alone will make it worse

This is what we use at my restoration shop. It's so easy a cave man can do it. Seriously though it is easy to use even on black the hardest color to make look perfect. And the whol kit is about 80 bucks

I don't really care enough about my car to get a buffer and all that other ****... I just hand wax it and it usually looks good.
My paint really isn't in bad shape though so hand waxing/polishing works fine.

The 3m swirl mark remover is awesome stuff, its a little hard to find around here. but Ive used it on a black show car and made it look great, that and the dark paint wax they make. Its been a few years since I have used them. I have a buddy here thats been detailing for 25 yrs and he uses only meguires.

same here, I tend to stay with meguires and 3m though. I have the best results with them, although I have never liked turtle wax, and I read reviews on the black box and Its amazing on a black vehicle.
