cleaning process:
didn't have time to clay :(
1. wash
2. Pro Polish with white pad
3. Blackhole with red pad
4. EX-P with blue pad (first time using)
5. Natty Red
6. Natty Blue
7. Natty Red
8. Trim Restorer

I used Spray and Wipe in between each step. The three white spots on the front are chips.

thanks. I really think the blackhole pulled the metallics out. It is hard to tell in that photo, but man they look good.

Im not sure why people say they dont have time to clay a car.. in all honesty it shouldnt take you more than 30 mins to clay the car if you take good care of it.. thats just me.. im not knocking you for it i just hear that a lot.. as far as the black hole bringing out the metallic in the paint.. im surprised as ive used it alot and never found it to help with metallic.. although it may be the color of the car.. im a big fan of pro polish followed by Polish with carnuba blue to really make flake pop out!


All in all the car looks really good.

i didnt mean for my post to come off in that sort of way PC.. i apologize if it did i was only speaking on the fact that ive used black hole a lot and always find it to be a better hider and cover up tool than making metallic flake pop.. Sorry if it came across wrong.

For metallic paint, I prefer Polish with Sealant topped by EX-P so take that! :)

Look, there is no magic combo that is perfect for any particular color. Looks are subjective and in the eye of the beholder. Use the product or combination of products that works best for you. We all know that the best results are achieved in the prep and polish steps, not the final coat of wax or sealant.

yes, the only Mustang Week. haha. I have heard they do that one in Maryland, don't know how big it is. Mustang Week has a lot of different events, meet n greet, auto x, circle track, drag strip, car show, cruise ins, plus countless cruises around the area. A lot of fun, and well worth the trip. The car show has 300 paid entrants, with another 200-300 displays, and all the others that show up in the parking lot. A bunch of vendors come and display their stuff. It really is a big deal. Big enough for Saleen to make "Mustang Week" editions.

When I was still in the Navy we used to go up to Wallops Island, Va a lot. We drove up to Ocean City, Md one night, & it turned out we were in the middle of Mustang week. I still owned my 95 T-Bird SC back then, & wasn't really into Mustangs yet, but I definitely noticed that there were a lot of them.
