Alot of places have it. I really like meguiar's #7 show car glaze. Actually I ordered some more from a dealer here I think meguiarEM or something. Just wash the car, let it dry, apply glaze all over and let it dry for 30mins, then start wiping off. It won't be smooth feeling after, that's why you MUST wax immediately after glaze to seal in the shine. Wax doesn't matter much, I've had good results with KIT, and turtle wax ultra gloss. I like to try different ones alot.

Rep Power: 0 Maybe I am late onto this scene, but I love my Black civic...and now will never get any other car than black! Looks the best bro! I wash it about once a week, sometimes I let it go a couple weeks, but check my pictures for yourself. Get a black civic (coupe of course) and be sure to get a manual trans!

Rep Power: 272 Black = Swirls... Who cares about showing dirt if you keep it clean... But remeber... Your car WILL swirl if you get black... It will swirl no matter what color you get but it is only visible on black, for the most part. Get red!

Rep Power: 396 I would get Silver cause nothing shows on silver...including light scratches and swirl marks, and the car always looks clean...The only thing that stinks about silver is after you glaze and wax it, the car doesnt get as shiny as any other color...Like red, blue, or black.
I had a silver civic and it was hot.

Black is tough, but you can minimize swirls by just getting the right tools. Start off by just using Micro-fiber towels when removing cleaners,polishes, and waxes and drying you vehicle after a wash. Use foam pads when applying cleaners, polishes, and waxes. Having 2 wash mits always helps as well. For instance a separate wash mit for the body and one for the wheels. Using a polish/wax monthly always helps as well. Any other questions PM.

yeah, just use the right tools and products.
i'm sure if you needed a straight car perscription just give a few details about your environment and someone will recommend you a sheet load of products
black is hard to maintain, but it is the best color when clean
