That looks mint! Black is such a hard colour to keep looking fresh, good job :thumbup:

Where possible, a photo sharing service can be used such as Flickr, Imgur etc. The image location (usually ending in .jpg) can be copy and pasted between the ][ brackets that appear when you click the 'Img' button (you can find this button at the top of the message box).

How to post youtube vids: Click on the 'youtubeHD' button at the top of the message box and in the middle of the ][ brackets that just appeared, copy and paste everything from the youtube web address that appears after the = sign i.e if this is the url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2cNqaPSHv0 just copy "K2cNqaPSHv0").

What products did you use to polish? I'm guessing a rotary polisher was involved as to remove the swirls?

Went with Autoglym Rapid renovator on the more ingrained swirls and scratches and the their resin polish and HD wax to finish it off. The wax also helped disguise some of the lighter swirl marks :) which means it at least looks presentable for a black car, but I will need to continue one panel at a time over the coming weeks to really finish it off.
