RE: Vivid Black and scratches......help!
I used zymol cleaner wax for swirl marks. It seemed to remove some. Should I give 2 or 3 more coats of it? Then what would be a good wax after i do that? Is there any hope for these vivid black paint jobs?? I want those swirls and spyder webs gone once and for all. Thanks

I'd like to try this but can't seem to locate it. I did use meguirs #9 and it seemed to do ok, haven't seen it in the sun lite yet.

I have the same problem with my Vivid Black Road Glide. No matter how long I spend on it, I always end up with swirl marks and have several small scratches. Is there any way to get rid of the fine scratches already there? And, on the fairing, any suggestions for tiny paint dings from road debris?

Am Sure all the replies here are good and can try whatever you like but I have had Black Bikes a long time and tried most everything, and for Scratches and Swirls never found anything that tops QUIXX...

All those products just mask the scratches (they will re-appear in no time at all) you need to buff it out check out the detailing course below in my sig for full details...

any product that you use to remove scratches needs to be worked in very well...you should use a microfiber cloth and by working it in I mean creating friction...heat with your hand. Elbow grease and a good product you should get the swirls out...without heat these products do nothing. IMHO
