I have a black flhx and the swirls and light scratches in paint are getting pretty noticeable. I heard turtle wax color magic car polish does a good job on light scratches and paint swirls.
Any confirmation or experience with other products that work good at filling the blemishes in and covering em up? Thanks for any advice.

 

Black ... The scourge of the American Biker! ... It's tough to keep a Black finish "swirl-less" but it can be done. Light swirls can be removed with something like Meguiar's Their Scratch X and Swirl removers are decent. Always use a Clay Bar before hand. Proper towels ( microfiber ) will help immensely. If you want to get that "brand new look" and have va few bucks to spend try Autogeek.com and get the Ported Cable polisher ... it is designed for the hobbyist and won't burn the paint ... http://www.autogeek.net/dual-action-...Fa9FMgodmXkA8w ... Remember that the only thing that wax does is provide a protective coating and the reason that it looks good immediately after doing so is that all the minor imperfections are filled with wax ... Hope this helps.

 

I used Turtle Wax's Black Box, and it works really well. Others have mentioned good results with Scratch-X...

 

I like Martin Senior or 3M Buff Eezz Clearcote Polish and Swirlmark remover.

Old fashioned cotton diaper and a little elbow grease....

Buff-Eez #6357 is sold at most NAPA dealers in Indiana

 

3M Perfect-It
Swirl Mark Remover for DARK colors.
#39009
It has no wax or silicone and will not effect the clear coat.

 

Best answer. Also, Meguiars has a forum of their own and you can get a lot of good advise on detailing there.

 

There ya go, its the best..

 

My bike is an '05 with black fenders and tank. I have used Meguiar's since I first bought it and it does a great job of taking out the swirls. It isn't perfect but it does a great job and I also use a soft chamois to buff it out with.
