Years ago when I had an '85 T-Bird (black) I got some paint overspray on it. I called an automotive paint source and they told me of a product called "Liquid Ebony" It came in a quart plastic squeeze bottle and it removed all overspray and swirl marks if you used the buffer properly. I bought it, and it did in fact work as promised. It made the finish look like it was glass. They said I should use a sealer on it and then wax it. The stuff just worked great.
Anybody hear of this stuff before?

 

YES! Used to use it...great stuff. When ever I would buy a new (used) car, I'd take out the Milwaukee buffer and go over it with Liquid Ebony. It would clean the old paint, and get it ready for wax. If the paint was faded, I'd use machine compound first, then the LE to remove the swirls. I don't know if they still make it or not, but it did work well.

Yup, great stuff. I have a bottle on the shelf with my other detailing products. It's a very fine polishing compound and does a great job removing swirls and buffer marks.

 

I heard about it a while ago and it's suppose to be great stuff but I thought it was only used on black cars??

 

Nope. works on any color. (I use it all the time on my Oxford White truck.) The actual liquid / material is black (ebony) in color.

 

I guess that would make it pretty easy to remove once you've applied it... kind of hard to miss a 'black spot' on the white paint when it comes time to remove it.

Yupper, it's hard to miss - except after a few beers. It's not the spots that bother me as much as those voices though...
