Well then I would not attempt it, unless you know someone that can help you buff. Alot of people are scared of buffers and then theres others that think its so easy. Until you put a buffer in there hand and they touch the paint and the buffer goes all over. With your car being black it would be best to get some swirl and scratch remover and hand wax the **** out of it!

while i will respect your opinion (bc in the detailing business there are so many products that are just as good as the other) i will have to say that turbowax is way better than meguires....this is only my opinion but i have never had any problems and it has been easier to work with than any of the meguires stuff i use...i was raised on meguires and when i finally branched out i realized i hated meguires...

BUT the one thing that in my opinion puts turbowax heads taller than any other company/product is their customer service...it is unparalleled...they treat me better than some of my friends...lol...but in the end in this business its a preference thing...and you will buy what you will buy....but my recommendation goes to Turbowax...

Okay I also respect yours but there is nothing to hate about meguiar's. Every day the cars being pulled out look great and its due to meguiar's we have had others and they sucked. I used to say meguiar's was junk and cheap until I used all of it then I realized that it works wonders. Detail a whole car using meguiar's and you wont be disappointed. Im going to bed night all!!

i have...i will not speak out against anything unless i use it...as i doubt you would....

it just didnt do it for me....and the turbowax stuff did...like i said in this business its more of a preference thing than anything else...yea we could drop big dollars on P21 or some really high end **** but for the everyday person(like us) its also a price thing/convience thing...
