Never planned on owning a black one, but that is what I ended up with. I don't think there is a better color to wax out though. I decided to start the zaino process over this year. Photos are the 'dawn' wash, two rub downs with the Z-pc, and two coats of Z-5 with gloss enhancer in between. Anyone with a black car using the clearbra? Any tips for polishing? I'm feeling skeptical at this point the front will look as good as the rest of the car. I can't imagine that waxing the clear bra would yield the results of waxing the paint. We will see. Thanks for the pic help John.

I never learned my lesson..

I'm such a dope I'm on my second black Cobra. You have to have patience with that kind of a finish. I've tried ALL of them boys. Megulair, Zaino, 3m pro, Turtle wax ultra gloss....Every one... Last year I finally found one that does it right.
Its called Trade Secret and you can find it at topoftheline.com. (No, I'm not a sales rep for them) Its easy to put on, and hand buffs to the best damn finish I've ever seen. Knocks the swirls way down to where you can hardly see them. Best part about it is that it still beads after sitting for 3-4 months in the summer heat. You can pile it on and it brings out the gloss even more. Yes, better than Zaino. Black finishes are a total pain in the ass so give this stuff a go.

Is there any store you can pick it up at or just from the web site? Any pictures of the finish?

Trade Secret..

Its an on-line buy only as far as I klnow. Never have seen it in any auto supply store. As far as pictures, as soon as the weather improves sometime in August, I'll put some pix up. Photos though, don't really tell the story about how well a polish does or doesnt do the job. Standing there in person l;ooking at it really does though...
