I drive a 2001 Mustang GT Black.
I love the color but black is like a part time job keeping it clean. All the imperfections or scratches are magnified on black cars.
So I decided to fix the swirl and scratch to hopefully end up with a mirror finish.
First, lets see what the damage is

After going at it for 2 days, finally I can wash it to remove all the polish and wax residue. A little foam will do
