I've used both Meguiars Scratch X and plexiglass polish for lexan and both work great. You can find either one at most auto supplies.

For a Black car I go with Menzerna Intensive Polish, then Final Polish using a Porter Cable.

If you want a black car without swirl marks/scratches a Porter Cable is invaluable - you'll get your $$ back after the 1st time you use it & the results are excellent (plus not labor intensive )

Just assuming you have a black car from your avatar...

What do you want from a wax? Pure durability, pure beauty, etc.?

What color is your car?
