Default bit of advice needed on a couple of products

Hi all just a couple of questions if somebody could greatfully help me out, ive just got myself a new car unfortunatly not another Subaru its been abroad at some point it as it has left overs of the stickers on the head lights, which product would be ok to remove the residue tardis or autogylm tar & glue remover or would these be to strong for the plastic?

its a black car (black magic) with a few really light scratches im looking for a light product to remove or mask these?

finally im after a good wax or sealant to top this off on a budget, from searches i see people like poorboys natty paste which seems good value but would this need applying quite regularly & the Blackfire wet diamond which would you guys recommend on black?

thanks in advance Mark

if the lenens are glass, could you use a flat razor blade?

The black fire range on black does look the works mate but if you prep the car right then anything will leave a good finish purple haze from dodo juice is great on black. If you are not wanting to remove the scratches then poorboys black hole glaze has fillers in it which will help to hide them.

cheers for the advice johnson12 i'll take a look at the two products you mentioned, if i was to try & remove the light scratches which would be a good product to do this by hand? would Menzerna Final Polish II be upto the job?

Look at the polished bliss guides at the top of the car care section it tells you which products to use by hand and by machine on which colour car you have mate.
