New Black Car

[Hammer3.8]

Hey guys,

I just bought a new black focus for my wife, and had a question as to which products to use.

Should I use the professional polish, then exp, then nattys?

Would polish w/ sealant be an alternative for the PP and EXP?

Cheers!

I have a new Black Tahoe and I used PWS and then Natty's blue the next day. I don't know if you need to wait a day in between but since you need to between sealant and waxing I did. Plus I was wore out since I did it by hand. I felt like the Karate Kid after this past weekend!

Have fun

Yes, either plan will work great :smt023

As another alternative, the Natty's Blue and PwC Blue were both made with dark colors in mind.

Cool thanks for the help guys!

Well i've used PP, EXP, and NB on my dark metallic green mustang with amazing results. Although the foucs isn't metallic I think I'll try the same.

I like the long lasting protection from EXP. Then nattys blue should help with that nice wet look.

I've been away from the forum awhile but I've heard using some S&G while drying the car is a good choice, is this correct? I didn't know you could use S&G on a wet car.

Cheers!

Yep. You can use it as a drying aide or to wipe up water streaks.

Well I've got the car prepped for starting the detailing tomorrow. Under the lights I noticed quite a bit of swirls and haze in the finish. I think I'm going to use SSR 2 with LC orange pad, then SSR1 with LC white pad, then PP with LC with pad, then 2 coats EXP, and 2 coats NB.

Does the SSR & PP steps sound adequate?

Thanks!

I think it should be good, as I have a black Escort, and it's fairly soft paint, so, although it marrs easily, it cleans up fairly easily too. I remember one year I used SSR2 and a finishing pad to remove my winter marring and it worked.
-Also, the orange pad will likely leave a haze, so be sure to go over it thoroughly with the polishing steps.
