    Black Paint... Needs some restoration...

    Hi,


    I`m new to all of this and would like some pointers on getting my `98 Grand Cherokee`s paint to shine like it did the day it was driven off the lot.

    I use meguiar`s polish and wax often but it has some fine scratches, oxidation(I guess you would say) and what-not. Everything you`d expect from a black vehicle that is a few years old.

    I have some 3M Rubbing Compound, lots of meguiar`s polish/was, and a O.B.

    Can someone give me some pointers?

    Thanks,

    James

    Start out with Megs #9, see what this does for you on a small area. If not satisfied go to Megs #2. If STILL not Satisfied, go to the Rubbing compound.

    If you have had to go deeper than the #9, make sure you follow either the #2 or the Rubbing with #9. Followed by a good polish (#7 is what I use, havent tried the new #5 yet). And then a sealant of your choice (I use #26, though I have heard good things about #20 for durability).

    Yeah pretty much, but I dont use Megs for everything. I usually only use their paint products.

    For interior, go with Lexol unless you can afford 303.
