Black Paint after Menzerna Polishing
Here's a pic of the hood in the most direct sunlight I could find. Any imperfection you think you might see is actually in the window that the sun is shining through - the finish comes out that clear. This paint is "unwaxed" meaning it has no sealant or wax on it - it is the finish directly after using a porter cable and Manzerna Intensive and Final polish, wiped off with a 50/50 alcohol water solution to ensure a completely product-free finish. I think the picture justifies why I like Menzerna polishes so much..

And here is the car after that same polish job waxed with two coats of Pinnacle Souveran. You'll notice what I like to refer to as "wetness" and "depth", something I've yet to find this level of in a sealant.

I read about your new Cam Joe - sounds badass - TRex???
Menzerna is a two step polishing process, and you'll need to follow it up with a sealant or wax of your choice. Menzerna is a polish in the realest of terms, meaning that it POLISHES the surface, it does not protect it. I know companies like Zaino and others like to call their products "polish", but I believe that a polish is something with slight abrasive action that burnishes the surface to a mirror shine, not something that seals and protects the paint.
You can get menzerna polishes at www.properautocare.com - it is highly reccomended that you apply with a Porter Cable polisher, as applying them by hand will not break down the abrasives and give you the results you are looking for.

Edit: Do any stores sell Menzerna (like retail, not online.)?

Here's a picture of an up-close sun reflection on a yellow car that had been polished out with menzerna.
Again note the fact that the swirls have been removed
