I've got a Super Black Z, I've tried everything to keep my Z clean, shiny and reflective but only from far but when I got close I could see some water spots, some scratches tiny ones but quite alot. What is the best way so that my Z look the best from close and a far?

Sell it and get silver. Seriously, black cars are impossible to keep spot and scratch free. You can professionally detail it regularly but to remove the scratches, not just fill them, you have to remove part of the clear coat which is not something you want to do all that often for obvious reasons.

Thanx for the tip HokieZ, but black is my favourite colour since I could remember. I love it and I love my Z.....

looks like you live overseas. i would try to look at some auto detailing shops and buy some good wax and polish for your car. Make sure your car is cool and in the shade before you wash it.

Yeah, black is gorgeous, but I think you'll just have to live with the fine scratches or apply alot of Zaino Z5 to fill the swirls and fine lines.

Here's the result of a new car, carefully cleaned, with lots of Zanio applied.

From the dealer it had light swirls and whirls. I've put two layers of Z-5 and two of Z-2 both with ZXF on before alternating normal layers of Z-5 and Z-2. I use Z-6 and Z-8 between treatments.

I use a light touch and soft clean white towels.
