Problem with black paint
The thing is that I let let a pro wax my car and what turned out that he wasnt a pro. The car had little scratches all ower it when i got it back.
I was thinking if there was a possibilitu to get those scratches off. Those scratches are not visable normally but when I stand under a light they are visable. Do you think a hard wax could do the job?

Your detailer induced swirls during the wash or polishing phase. To get them out will require an abrasive polish with a rotary or DA buffer/polisher. Check out detailcity.com forums for additional info and techniques.

Just because he did a **** poor job doesn't mean he's not a pro... Most of the "professional" wax jobs that I've seen SUCK. Do yourself a favor and invest some time into learning some good care care maintenance and waxing/polishing techniques. Meguiars has an excellent website with a TON of DIY tips and techniques. Once you practice and master these techniques, you'll not only save yourself a ton of money, but you'll have a finish on your car that very few "professionals" can match

Sounds like your "pro" detailer certainly wasn't a pro. You'll need to polish that out by hand or by PC. Check out the results we were able to get at the CL Meguiar's detailing day:

First wash your car with dawn dish soap, that will remove all of the wax from the vehicle. If you can still see the scratches then use a clay bar, be sure to keep the area moist with the lubricant. This will take a couple of hours but is well worth it. Once done apply a high quality wax by hand. I have owned several black cars and this has been done by me yearly with outstanding results.

And yes, a clay bar can be used on black cars.

Just make sure to keep it WELL LUBRICATED or you'll end up with streaks on your paint that you'll need to use scratch-x or similar to take out. Don't intend this comment to discourage you from using the clay (do it, I recommend it), just make sure to be careful because Lexus 202 black onyx (especially) will pick up marks if you don't do it right.
