Get Brazo to have a look when you are down in the next few weeks ?

Prepare for some Popeye arms !

The key to Black is a damn good polish to restore gloss and remove any defects. The polishing stage creates 90% of the overall looks. Personally my chosen routes on my old Clio where: Wash - Duragloss 901 Clay - Anything non agressive Machine Polish as needed with Menzerna Intensive Polish...

Sonax Gloss Shampoo is a damn nice wash, I used to be able to get it cheap from Vauxhall, but my local dealer no longer stocks it so I have gone over to Duragloss saving the small amounts of Sonax I have left for best. I don't use a mitt as a mitt, I still hold them like sponges as it is much...

No chips away place will touch in things on bonnets, mainly as there crap repairs will look even worse than normal, so as a rule they wont do them. It is impossible to blend them in up there as it is so in your face. So a touch up pen and sand is the only way apart from a re-spray. The fact...

Only in how they feel to the touch - in use a compounding pad won't give finish .

Very nice one of the best ones out there - works stand alone on Glass and beads well!!!!! Not many out there I prefer but have gone over to others as I can't get the Clearkote in Gallon sizes anymore for reasonable money, so just use the small bottle I have on my glass.

Great turnround - looks spot on. Bet he was chuffed ?

The compounding pad is a bit hardcore for DA use but the polishing pads are a peach.

For the tar use tar remover rather than shear it off and cause scratches with clay. As for clays I find Sonus Green ideal for most tasks.

Eurow - Sheepskin Wash Mitt Duragloss #901 Car Wash Concentrate

The rotary will make the job lot's easier if you can get the required finish from it.

I have started thinking about wearing them while using wheel acid tbh ....

Always try the mildest combo first, but it is going to be hard paint. At minimum it is going to need something Menzerna Intensive Polish - I would try that before wet sanding it.

Is not bad for the money, better than the CG offerings but not as good as the Duragloss though.

It is the same product just different name !

Gloves !!!! bunch of girls ....

Sonus or Menzerna ones for me from CYC.

Ditto - even the trade version used neat wont melt anything ! Aurtoglym Engine and Machine Cleaner for me.

Duragloss 901 - I have tried every shampoo out there and this is the daddy. Eurow Wash mitt.

P21s looks good on silver but is not that durable. But over AJT that is not an issue. Aside from Werksatt the only sealant that will look better on silver IMO is Zaino Z2. I would stick with the process you have and replace the Collinite with Victoria Concours (looks nearly as good as...

No it wont add or detract just means the sealant will have the best base to bond to.

90% of the looks are in the polishing. Destiny on my car: Personally I feel the Black Gold ever looked better with Clearkote 15 quids worth of wax compared something which costs hundreds!

Which ones have you used other than Carbon ? Titanium, Concours and Destiny all hold up well, just are a expensive and pain to use.

I would leave it for a month or so.

How long has it been painted for ?

It will strip off any products you have on the paint that may be masking any defects - you will be left with clean bare paint in it's true state. If you have lots of coats of wax on there it will probably look worse.

Not used it without a sealant under it, but I am running one coat of it over a coats of Werkstatt Acylic and that is holding up well with nothing than the odd wash and maybe a spritz of AG Aquawax since October.

All 182's did.

+1 - though Brazo would be allowed x
