Yesterday I applied CarPro DLUX to all the black trim. Grilles, splitter, rocker skirts, rear diffuser, mirrors and window trim. Took about 30 minutes to do all the honeycomb in the grille with a swab applicator, not too bad.

This weekend I'm going to try to mask off the car and hit it with some M205 and and a finishing polish, then do the cleanup and apply the CQuartz. Time permitting.

Does a new car need M205? I spent a good 20 hours on my CTS after I bought it used but is it really needed on a new car?

Depends on what you want and the condition. M205 with a light pad isn't that abrasive. On my brand new Jeep which is a bright darkish blue I had to use M105 + M205. When I got the car it looked fine, but they had a glaze on it. Once i hit the car with a stripping wash/clay session the paint looked pretty bad by my standards.

This car is white, so I could get away w/o it, but I enjoy it so I'll put in the hours to get to know each panel.

I'm going to black out the front grille horse emblem and rear GT emblem when I get home from travel next week. Any black paint recommendations?
