Iv got a met black Corsa C the paint has quite bad swirl mark's so iv bought some poor boys black hole and it does a really good job of covering these up thing is the wax i used didn't last to long so iv got some collinite 476s as iv herd this last's along time im going to apply a few layers but once applied what can i use when i do a normal wash been looking at quick detailers? What ones are worth using ect? And is the poor boys and collinite the best thing to use? Thanks guys

What you trying to ask then mate?
What's best to use between coats of wax? TBH you don't HAVE to use anything once a couple of coats of Colly is on - just wash and dry.
If you want to top up though, I'd suggest Megs Last Touch or Dodo Red Mist

Sorry is abit of an essay  basically is the black hole and 476 best combo to use? And yeah whats best to use as a top up once iv applied a few layers and just washing it to keep it clean instead of keep applying layers of wax, whats the best between the two you mentioned rich?

Well Black Hole is a glaze rather than a polish so is oils and fillers with no abrasives.
I would suggest trying to do a bit of polishing too (AG SRP, Dodo Lime Prime / Need for Speed) then glaze with Black Hole, then glaze again (as it can be layered) then wax.
2 - 3 coats of Collinite is more than enough to last you a year without topping up again (I ran 3 on the van last year, cleaning it 2 or 3 times a week and it was still beading really well 11 months later) so to top in between, use Dodo Red Mist as Megs Last Touch is more to remove smears etc, Red Mist actually adds a bit more carnauba and helps to make the water bead and maintain gloss

Need for Speed has a mild edge over AG SRP as it's more durable and has a better gloss to it. Lime Prime is also better but doesn't contain fillers like NFS or SRP - is just mild abrasives and is good by hand or awesome by machine.
So therefore between Lime Prime or NFS for Polish, then stick to Poorboys Black Hole for Glaze (try 2 coats though) then a couple of coats of Collinite and your on to a winner, and as I say, if you want to top up every so often, invest in some Red Mist 
Make sure you strip any existing layers of wax off using clay or something before re-doing all this though

Ah ace thank's rich ill give that ago ill defiantly invest in some red mist ill pm you about that as im after a few pads and polish ect to, reading about the two would i be best with the lime prime if im using poor boys as that contains filler's and oils so will make up for the lime prime not having any? And iv got a meguires clay bar so that will be ok or can i use stage one meguires paint cleaner?

Ok mate, drop me a PM when your ready and I'll sort you out
Lime Prime is probably best option, yeh as the PB will do the rest of the filling for you. Megs clay will be fine. Megs stage 1 paint cleaner doesn't contain abrasives iirc so would be a pointless stage as Lime Prime will do it's job and polish in one
