Re: Help me get my black paint nice again!
I'd start with clay and Swirl X. If the finish is so bad that swirl X can't do the job, then you may have to go with the Ultimate compound then follow with swirl X. Get lots of the foam applicators if you are working by hand and set aside an entire weekend. Some Deep Crystal #2 polish or M07 would make the black really look great after swirl X and before NXT 2.0.
A D/A polisher would really make things much easier and quicker. If you can't afford the D/A, don't bother with an orbital, they just don't have the power needed for paint correction. Just do it by hand and save up for the D/A. In the end you'll just end up ditching the orbital for the D/A anyway.

Help me get my black paint nice again!
Hello, Im new to this forum... and new to detailing...
The exterior Meguiar's products that I have purchased are:
Deep Crystal Car Wash
NXT Wax 2.0 Liquid
Ultimate Quick Detailer
Trim Detailer (lots of faded plastic on Bimmers)
Hot Shine Tire Foam
Now Ive got a 93 BMW 325i... Its black and loaded with swirls, scratches, etc.
Here are some pics:
As you can see, its pretty bad.
Ive already spent quite a bit of money on stuff and I would like to keep it low. And im sure I cant afford a DA Polisher... If i was able to get anything it would probably end up being orbital due to the low price.
Anyways, How would you recommend I get my paint into some nicer condition?
