Ok, so I am not exactly one to like taking my car to be buffed and waxed for $140 bucks or so and its not exactly good for paint so I went with this stuff and it worked SO amazingly good guys I can't even describe it. I have to take pics and show you!!!! Its really great. My car is Jet Black and if you own a black car you'll know how horrible swirl marks can be. This goop took about 1 minute to apply BY HAND with a regular sponge, you wait like 2 minutes to dry and then with a 100% cotton towel you wipe it off.

My finish looks like it is covered in perfect black oil. Its PURE SEX.

I really recommend this stuff. I got it at Auto Zone. Forgot what I paid...I think it was like $15.

I park my car in a parking garage. So no do it yourself waxing for me. When I had a home in Virginia in the late 1990s, I was addicted to washing and waxing my car.

Now I have no choice but to take it to others.
