They may come out with a good brand of wax, if not, what Mr. Deere said above.

sence its black, you do not touch it yourself, take it to a good body shop and get it buffed out ,black is the hardest color to buff, it shows everything, and can be easly swirled up

Get a bottle of finesse and do it yourself.....thats what detailers use. And don't let anyone use a buffer on your truck.

I know this problem personally and I was a auto body guy for some time. That Brush is ONLY good for white trucks. Go Buy Scratch X from Meguiars and a applicator pad and make sure you take your time. Then put a good coat of wax with in the same instance I Recommend Meguiars Gold Class or Zymol. Good Luck let me know if you need anymore advice.

Id have to agree. If you do it right then you can get them out with some rubbing compoud then wax. Since its black though it would be tough. Id take it to a body shop or even some used car lots have a detail shop. Did stop back at the car wash? Maybe they detail cars as well.

If that wont work ask around for a reputable body shop and have them buff and wax it for you.
