Hi mate tbh I would probably use Blackmax on it's own after polishing. If you're not going to be polishing so the paint will still be dirty i'd maybe look at using Werkstat Acrylic prime, it's the best pure cleanser out there and you don't need it to fill as blackmax will do that job. If...

Got it mate, just getting through a few I had from last night mate. :)

Flol! I did laugh when I seen a monkey do it in here once! Never did it again after that. That's their job. We do it all the time in here if it means getting the car aligned and driving properly.

Hi Riz, has the car every been polished or cleansed before? The reason I ask is if it hasn't maybe worth cleansing quickly before polishing so you don't ruin your polishing pad with dirt from the paint. My personal preference for doing my own car is - Polish - Cleanse - Glaze - Wax/Seal. :)
