Well I know black is really hard to keep clean and you can see everything if you put ur eyes up on the paint. I look at the front bumper and its all particle white dots everywhere. I feel it and they dont come out its like with imbedded in the paint. Its only the front bumper, thats where all the dirt goes probably when driving since its coming on to it. Nothing gets it out. any other black cars have the front bumper not like a pure black and clean and spotless? I have claybared it and wax, polished.

mine is spotted with chips in the paint as well as rather large ones, around 1"sq'd that i got fed up with and duplicolored them up. It gets nicked up pretty fast though, and the bumper itself is grey show it shows through easily, quite the eyesore.

Try using the wax that is tinted with pigment. I been using the "black" wax for a while and it really fills in any small nicks and make them far less noticable. Give it a try.

I use Zaino. Whats this black wax? I like zaino, IMO because its really great for black cars and gives that wet deep shine, really.

If they are imbedded, then a clay bar will probably remove the contamination, if i is actual chips, then you will have to fill it in some how.

The colored wax is called Color Magic or Color Cure , both by Turtle wax. I am sure there are other brands on the market also. It works great on small nicks and scratches. Fills them in and you can hardly see them. Not a permanent fix, but better than trying to touch up with paint sometimes.
