Ok then what's prob you getting a haze'y finish after cleaning? If so you have grime in multiple layers of wax therefore needs cutting right back. I'd have a look at a black T cut then use a quality polish and wax afterwards. Need to get into the paint and cut back quite a bit dude.

Black cars don't stay black for long, if you want to keep them looking their best you'll need to wash it regularly.

I use meguires car shampoo and dodo juice wax but it really needs a proper polish as it's got a fair few swirl marks on it.

I know this says subaru but it'll give you an idea of what level you could take it to if you want your car looking tip top. http://bbs.scoobynet.com/car-care-38...t-subarus.html

Get all the cack washed off then use supaguard 100. It puts a hell of a shine on and lasts for up to 3 years without the need to wax again just a nomal wash will do. A few valeters I know use it.

I can deswirl it and wax it for you - leave it looking mint, and give you thorough advice on how to delay the swirls coming back, check my facebook album dude, possibly strike a deal if your dad can repolish my corroding alloys/repair 1 kerbed alloys.
