Grab a bottle of Meguiar's California detailing spray. It should help to get a little extra shine out of it.

Honestly though, on a black vehicle, I've found on product that seems to stand above the rest so far and that's Turtle Wax's black system. It's a three stage. Used it on that 09 challenger, and I don't know that I've EVER seen a factory paint job shimmer that much.

It's a pain in the ass to use since you will be going over your truck three times to do it, but it pays off.

I do believe Aaron has used the same system as well.

YouTube - Twin Turbo 426 SRT8 Challenger built and tuned on low boost by RDP Motorsport USA
YouTube - Jim Sharps Twin Turbo 426 on the Dragstrip built by RDP Motorsport USA

Factory 6.1 taken out to 7.1(426) totally rebuilt with forged components, twin 45mm turbonetics remote mount turbos, tuned in at 8PSI putting down 677HP with current tune sitting at 20PSI. Finally HP amount unknown as the tune is still being ironed out, but 1000+ is conservative estimate.

Everything except for the block and the heads have been chromed along with a false firewall painted the factory black. Strut tower supports, and two wide bands on the A pillar in the cab. MSD ignition, and an upgraded fuel system.

Coming soon- Roll cage for the car and some custom paint work on the body.

Alright so, the truck has been washed, polished and waxed. For the deepest shine there is a process that the products must be used. You can't just wash wax polish then add more polish. The process is wash, claybar, wash, polish, glaze, carnuba wax, in that order so grab some beer cuz it's gonna take all day. I have had my best luck with Meguiars products.

I'd say for the deepest shine you'll want to do a fine machine polish to get rid of all the super fine scratches.
