Bobbyz - congrats to you, your brother and brother in law  Wish I had that kind of M spirit in my family!! |
I dont mean it in any rude way, but its known that the 3 basic (non-metallic colors, including aw) are more prone to swirls and once you have them are impossible to remove. The paint method is different.. His brother in laws Jerez Black is going to swirl too, the difference is that when he compounds n waxes the Jerez black, it will come out nearly perfect, nearly brand new without almost any swirls. But the Jet black, will come out looking shiny, but under light will show all the swirls no matter what compound or wax you use...you'll see! I used to be a detailer for high end cars, trust me on this!!!
My buddy has a 325i (jet black) and after 2 months of taking really good care of it, including waxing it at least once a month. never going through car washes and you should see how swirled up his car was after 2 months! and I tried all my best products and nothing took out the major swirls!
Only time will tell
M Spirit in the fam....

I had a black 1994 Porsche 968 that I drove every winter and was able to keep looking like a mirror. In my experience with cars, if an colour shows swirls close to as much as black, its dark blue anyway. Slammed and my brother will never see a swirl mark...same goes for silverstoneII. Cant beat a clean, detalied black car though.
