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 and/or just with Final Finish to remove defects and restore gloss.
Prep paint for Sealant with Autoglym Super Resin Polish
Seal with Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection or Jeffs Acylic Jett Trigger
Wax - Victoria Concours or Swisswax Onyx depending on budget, or Swissvax Best of Show if money is not an issue

If no access to a machine polisher use some Menzerna PO91L by hand and then use the SRP.

If you don't need long lasting durability and just want out and out looks, ditch the SRP and EGP/Jeffs and use a nice pre wax cleaner or Glaze and go straight to wax

Wash - Duragloss 901
Clay - Anything non agressive
Machine Polish as needed with Menzerna Intensive Polish and/or Final Finish to refine and add gloss.
Prep paint for wax, Swissvax Cleaner Fluid, Clearkote Vannilla Moose Glaze or Meguiars #7 Shoe car Glaze
Wax - Victoria Concours (under £20) or Swisswax Onyx (Under £50) depending on budget, or Swissvax Best of Show (£100 plus) the later two will not add much over the Vics in looks, but the durability will be much greater.

SRP can be bought from halfrauds and the sealer too.

that looks epic jonnyg

thanks am a bit ov a detailing virgin

and i dont hav a machine polisher

 

[Needster]

don't have to be a great detailer to get a good finish. it's products really. i'll look on sunday for you - a good clay session could be an option, kev did that to his and it was gleaming!

i've got a buffer, but i'm scared to use it! ha!
