Re: how to wash and wax a black Carrera?

What year is your Carrera? Are you sure you have clearcoat scratches? How long ago was it painted?

A good way to tell if you have a clearcoat or not is when you wax your car if the rag turns the color of the car. Color is no clearcoat and no color is clearcoat.

Anyways, enough of that. I would get a bottle of 3M Imperial Hand Glaze to get rid of the fine scratches. Then (I ordered it, but haven't tried it yet) Mequire's Tech Wax. I've used their gold class and some other brands. The Gold Class always worked well for me and my Dad said this Tech Wax is even better.

What ever you do, post what you did and your results because I for one would be interested in what worked for you.
