I apply it using:
these
or
these
But don't apply it like polish in circular motions, but in lines (for me: horizontal on bonnet, roof etc, vertically on doors, wings etc)

Its quiet a hard wax the light fantastic but stil, you wont use much, its not like polish.
Small amount over the whole car a couple of times is better then loads in one pass

Purple haze mate for black cars. It wont get rid of swirl marks though, you need a swirl remover and a rotary polisher idealy

3 light passes is better then 1 thick pass as it builds up the layers of wax and will give alot better protection.

see link in above post, swirl mark remover and a rotary polisher, but personally if its that bad (which black cars make them look) id pay a detailer to do a full paint correction as they are used to using retary polishers and with have all the products

could the poorboys swirl remover in the above link be applied by foam aplicator or is it best to use a machine polisher?

Rich H is your best person to talk to about that, as iv never tried swirl remover, i should imagine its quite abbrasive meaning it would be hard to remove unles using a rotary polisher. as to remove swirls its basically cutting into the laquar and takin a layer away to remove the fine scratch

It can be applied by hand but is better via machine. Having said that, it's not that much cop anyway! Almost better off using AG SRP tbh.

Yeh, it'll fill the swirls better than the PB stuff will. I brought a bottle of the PB stuff "back in the day" and it was crap (imo)
