I have an 06 fx4, this is my first black truck. I already have swirl marks and some light scratches. What do I need to do, what products to use? Thanks

 

elbow grease and some tlc

 

Do one of 2 things;
1: do a search
2: go to meguiars.com and go to the car care Rx center. This'll help.

sorry for such a cop-out answer, but this has been discussed a number of times.

 

First of all, welcome to F150Online and welcome to the **** retentive forum. Seeing that you've purchased a black vehicle says many things about you, such as:

- You were a big Darth Vader fan in your younger years
- You like the ability to fry eggs on your hood in the summer
- You have waaay too much time on your hands for detailing
- Can you spell Goth?
- There was this girl in college with a little black dress ...

Anyway, you will find a ton of information here if you just search for stuff that's already been written. Most of it deals with how to remove the inevitable swirls and miro scratches you're about to learn to hate. By the way, all of your past (and future) vehicles will have these imperfections, but nothing makes them scream at you like black. So what's the best way to avoid them?

1) Park your truck in a temperature and humidity controlled / sealed enclosure
2) Never drive, touch ar wash it

Feel free to look at it as much as you want though! Good luck!
