I used it on my camaro that had not been washed in over a year and waxed in idk how long. washed it,claybar'd it then used that. Came out a lot better then i thought. Wasn't a big fan of the spray detailer though. You will see why when you go to take the pre-wax cleaner off with it. Oh and make sure you wear golves and flip the towel a lot. Other then that have fun. Heres some pics:

Bewteen the wash claybar,polish, and the black box it got rid of al the water stains, and most of my swirls. But mine weren't that bad so its gonna vary car to car. Its only meant for black paint.

Just finished with it...for $20, I was VERY impressed with the results. Swirl marks are gone, I did not even bother with the spray retailed as I washed and clayed twice prior to starting and did not see any real benefit.

My only complaints are its' messy as F'UUUUUUUUUCK, trashed two terry cloth towels, and D'AMN does it dry hard. But for $20, it's awesome. I'll post pics tomorrow.
