A good polish for black paint.

[Waitey]

I need one that will cut fairly well to remove swirls etc.

By hand or machine mate?

By hand

Never tried half my products by hand...

For ease of use/application and availability stick to the usual suspects Autoglym SRP

i find black colour magic works nicely on mine (also black)
not sure its a cutting polish tho, but it makes the paint shine!

Also changes the colour of the car with time. Meaning should you have an accident and scrach the car, when it's resprayed it'll be a completely different colour...

I don't think it would cut enough. But i'll give it a go.

Results by hand are disappointing, you can spend hrs and the net results are only maginally better than before.

Rich might be better to ask over polishin by hand...I only glaze and wax by hand now.

Wouldn't consider ScratchX as it'll be painfully slow and tedious! You bringing the car to cadwell on tuesday mate?

 

[Waitey]

Yeah. Its getting MOT'd for me on Monday so i'll have it for tuesday. I might turn the boost up and give you a run for your money lol

 

[Ali]

I would hang my head in shame if i got beaten by a hairdressers car!

 

[Waitey]

12psi it is then. Should be around 225bhp then. Thing is with its current tiny intercooler (which is behind the rad lol) i could only hold that boost level for about 10 seconds lol

SRP will do little on most defects by hand, Scratch X does better but takes ages to do a whole car by hand and some major elbow grease.
