Waxing/Polishing

My baby needs a good waxing. Whats a good wax that you guys use for the color black? Also, my car has so much swirls marks on the hood from all the machine washes in its day(not when i owned it of course). What can I use to hide or get rid of that?

Tropi-Care is what I use and so happen to sell. Just detailed my black TA (10 yr old paint) and I will post the results. My process is using the clay bar, followed by orbital machine buffing with our swirl cutter, and finishing with many coats of our wax.

I start off with a claybar, and then use an orbital buffer with sonus pads and polish. And then I put on a coat of Meguires Deep Crystal Wax.
