I used fairy liquid before doing a full clean as it helps strip the crap off but use any wash and wax that's on offer lol.

My Black "pearl" shows any micro scratch as white as you would expect (but to be honest I wasn't aware that the slightest graze would show white).......anyone used any of the scratch removers available & impressed ?.............I was looking at a Turtle Wax scratch remover today which has a Black one amongst other colours..........looked at the T-Cut stuff but warned might be too abrasive. The scratches are so slight they are nothing but the "white" (primer I assume) makes it look worse.

maybe I'll use a Black permanent marker then. I just thought that anything was colour coded would work. Thanks Paul

Lol it's only my opinion if you've got a machine polisher then it might work better I've only done it by hand it may be worth a try
