There is hope for swirls on black paint

Went through a similar process on my Black G35. The big challenge now is keeping the swirls to a minimim. Even drying with quality microfiber towels will scratch the Infiniti black paint. With black, you will definitely need to do a maintenance polish every six months or so.
I'll see in the spring how good it looks. I was hoping to do a clay/minor polish with M205 only once a year, but we'll see how the car looks in spring!

Its a love/hate relationship with OB. It looks terrible when not well maintained. But if you are into detailing and dont mind waxing it once a month they look beautiful. I love my OB, would not have any other color. And M205 is an awesome product, also a good wax to use for OB is Meguiars cleaner wax with a black pad.

Ok, here's some misleading pictures for you ![Smilie](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Why misleading? Well, it wasn't sunny. I washed the car yesterday, a week after I just spent 18 hours detailing it, and found a nasty surprise.
You can see what I'm talking about here:

They appeared after I had detailed the car... another forum dedicated to detailing says it's possible the car was repainted and the solvents were improperly mixed, and that is what I'm seeing. I tried to get it out with M205 and a 4" white pad, and it didn't even make a difference.
Not noticeable in shade, but very noticeable under LED light and less noticeable in sunlight.
