I too have a black 2003 Dodge Ram -- a Hemi. These trucks have a LOT of surface to polish. Forget the hand stuff. Buy a Porter Cable Dual Action Polisher.



A procedure that gives great results is as easy as 1, 2, 3 with a pc.



1. Meguiar's #83 Dual Action Cleaner Polish.



2. Mequiar's #82 Swirl Free Polish.



3. Meguiar's NXT High Tech Wax.



Apply all with a pc and remove with a microfiber polishing cloth.

~One man’s opinion / observations ~



Dependent upon how light the scratches are Megs. ColorX should work, as you need something hand applied





~Hope this helps~

I would have some DACP handy too. It also works by hand, and it might be necessary because it is stronger, which compensates (partially) for the fact that you don't have the mechanical advantage of a PC. Try the gentler method on a section first though.
