G3 is good but can leave a milky look behind, also if your mopping the car aswell go easy on the edges

Black is the worst colour as in direct sunlight it will show up any buffer trails or holograming.

Best advice would be to do a small patch at a time, break the polish down and go really slowly.

Sounds like someone has already tried to correct it and got it wrong then, hence all the holograms and buffertrails...

Never used Farecla before, but as far as I'm aware its pretty aggressive stuff, if you have a product that is less aggressive then that would be best to start with, think G10 is the step down product for G3...

See if G10 or similar corrects the paint if not then step up to G3.
