My propsed treatment for a new black car

[wgilles]

I'm getting a new 2012 Ford Focus in 2 weeks. It will have metallic black paint. I was thinking of the following steps...does this look good or is it too much for a new car (and by too much, I mean too much product)

1 - Wash
2 - Clay
3 - Polish
4 - Black Hole
5 - PB Ex Sealant
6 - Carnuba Wax

Congrats on the new car ... sounds like a good plan .. are you using a machine or by hand?

 

[wgilles]

By hand. I'm still not comfortable with the whole machine thing yet. My Dad let me practice on his old beater car and I didn't screw anything up, but I think I'll stick to the hand method for a while om my new car.

which polish are you going to use?

like Steve asked what polish you using?
polish with sealant or polish with Carnuba would be great choices

That's not a bad set up for the metallic black, what type of finish are you going for soft warm glow (Nattys Red), deep reflection (EXP)or mirror (EXP+Nattys Blue)?
I had a black Dodge that never seen shade or a garage much, used rotary for polishing and a DA for sealants and waxes.
pro-P
EXP
Nattys blue
my results were outstanding brilliant mirror deep reflective shine.

Probably going to use the polish with Carnuba.

I was going to try for a deep reflection look first.
