Question Best Wax for black car.

I can never seem to get the right wax for my Camaro. I am selling it so I want to have it really nice and shiny .. I might keep it if it looks right and isnt to much of a pain. I have used that 17.99 shit from PepBoys the one that comes in the tin can but it doesnt get the swirl marks out.

I would prefer the best CHEAPER wax to I am tired of spending os much and getting the crap. I thought about taking it back but I dont think that works?

Thank you I will try it. I dont think i have tried that exact meguiars but I have tried the show car Glaze or whatever it made it really shiny but didnt help with the swirlies. I think i might just wax wrong to.

Here's a few tips cause I'm nice. Make sure you let it dry all the way first otherwise it will leave the nasty swirly stuff. There is also stuff I use on my vette first called "Malco Rejuvenator" which does a good job preping the paint. Also check out Zaino products, their polish is really good.

Wax won't help with swirl marks, you need a good polish first. I don't about Zaino, but the 3M products work incredibly well, and the Meguires polish works fairly well also. If you're having problems and want to sell it, you could also drop $50 and get it buffed and waxed professionally.

Thats the stuff that smells really good and it is blue right? It works and looks nice and all but once again the swirlies kill me and it doesnt last more than a day.
