if you are a member of www.offtopic.com, head over to their "That'll buff right out" section and have a read of some of the product reviews the guys there give (There are a fair few professional detailers in that forum, who do FANTASTIC work... main one is ScottWax)

Try AutoGlym Ultra Deep Shine. Based on their Super Resin Polish, it does a friggin awesome job especially on darker coloured cars. AutoGlym is made in the UK, and I can highly recommend their whole range of car care products :D

Havent used the New tech wax ( I assume thats from the NXT generation range?) but ive been using their products for a fair few years until recently......

Switched to Zaino, the difference is amazing. Cost is a little higher but the results are jaw dropping.

Well I have used the Meguiars NXT generation tech wax stuff, and it is easily the best product I have ever used personally. My car is dark blue but it is very bright underneath - you can only really see this in sunlight or under certain lights.

My paint job was very neglected when the car arrived from Japan over a year ago, and I have tried so many different things on it that it wasn't funny. But this stuff was amazing. My paint went from being blotchy (the brightness underneath was blotchy, not the surface), dark, dull and boring to being even and absolutely brilliant. It is really bright now and just looks fantastic. The shine produced is also much better than any polish i've ever used. The best $40 i've ever spent. I would happily recommend this product to anyone with a dark car. I also notice that the bottle version of the wax (this is what I used) is larger than normal bottles of polish.

This product gets nothing but praise from me :D

a friend of mine has a black r33 s2. went to autobarn and asked which wax is the best... the sales guy tried every single wax they had on his car. and meguiers tech wax was the best.

my r33 is white so it probz doesnt matter what wax i use... but the tech wax is what im gonna buy!

After using the wax, will the swirl marks on a black car just come back after several washes?

I just dont want to spend time on it only to have the swirl marks come back anyway.

basically, yes

the swirl mark are always going to be there, the wax will just create a temporary layer that disguises them for a while.

Maquires Clear Plastic Polish is some good Sh!t also, S2 33 headlights come up a treat, not to mention the the rear lights!

I heard about this too, so you just buy this stuff (wax) from any car shop and then just polish and wax with a cloth at home on top of the headlights without taking them off?

    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
    • Keeping in mind that for most people this is a week to month long job!
    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
