using a glaze like meguiars M07 will also make black paint really pop after correcting the paint. But its a pain to wipe off and can cause micro swirls and marring if not done carefully.

Remember do more research cause prepping your go make the world of a difference on the out come of the work being done. There a lot that goes into making that black stand out. Here my example I did a pre wash, decontaminate with Sonax fall out, two bucket wash, clay with nano skin mitt, and then after drying it i went with Menzerna FG400. That pretty much how it look with out topping it off with anything just after compound whiched finished out nice.
