Thanks Guz. Nice to hear you. I need to find perfect shampoo firstly deeply wash my car in order to remove all the small scratches and so on. Then to find a good polishing item. And finally a perfect protection item. If U could advise, I'd be very glad.

Hi Azik,
I have a black 2007 Toyota Tundra with just under 100,000 miles. This is what I have done to make my black truck look better than the day I bought it:
1) Wash with Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner and dry with a high quality waffle pattern microfiber drying towel.
2) Use the Meguiar's Smooth Surface Clay Kit to remove surface contaminants that have bonded to the paint.
3) This is where the real work begins and produces incredible results to remove the micro-scratches and swirls to restore the paint finish to "better than factory". You'll need a good quality dual action polisher for this project, a paint correction system and good, high quality microfiber towels. My choice for the paint correction is the Meguiar's Professional D-MCKIT5-DA 5" Microfiber Paint Correction System (this isn't available through Meguiar's online store but can be found at such places as Autogeek.net, Detailing.com, Autopia-carcare.com, etc.
Follow the directions for whichever dual action polisher you purchase and the paint correction kit and you will have a finish that you'll be proud to show off. You can then follow up with a hand paste wax to further deepen the gloss and protect that beautiful black finish with something like Meguiar's Mirror Glaze Hi-Tech Yellow Wax.
There are a lot of detailing products and supplies available from various manufacturers but my results with Meguiar's has always been spectacular! I hope this helps you get underway.

The two car shampoo's I use are Gold Glass Car Wash and D111 Shampoo Plus. Soap will not remove scratches only dirt and grime. What product line is available to you (mirror glaze, detailer, consumer)?

Hi Guz,
Actually I am new to this business. So, I made some research through internet and found that Meguiar's is the best in car care. That is all I know . I am going to buy everything from internet, even if it is not available in my country. So, I'd highly appreciate, if U could advise any product(s).
