I have used their First Step, Quik Detailer and Gold Class Liquid wax with
good results on my Flame Red Dak. I do use Illuminate First Step most of the
time as it's a milder rubbing compound and prefer Carnauba paste wax for
staying power.

I have read, either in the newspaper or on the web, that Meguiar products are
"fairly" rough on paint surfaces. For the Black paint on my '85 Shelby
Charger, I have settled on the 3M products. They have is a swirl remover
(cannot remember the name at the moment) that is especially for black paint,
a Hand Glaze and a Paste Wax. The 3Ms are a little more expensive than
others but I've been really satisfied with the job they do on the black.

Hope this helps.
