No I don't get paid for it. Just thought I'd share my video in different threads since not everyone is on the same threads all the time.

Black cars are a bear!! As I said...buy a decent DA polisher, some good polish (I used Menzurna 3800) it got rid of all swirls, minor clear coat rock chips and all light scratches. I then applied CQuartz UK myself. The end result is amazing. Yes, you can do it yourself....in a garage unfortunately. I've had so many comments and complements since it has been done.

Black S550 checking in. MY secodnblack car as you can see from my avatar. I have some left over wolfgang siwrl remover and finishing glaze from the correction on that car. I was satisfied with the reults.
Booststang I am curious to know how you feel about the paint compared to other OEMs as being hard/soft. Im sure the wolfgang products should cut it.
Ive ordered some ore pads in 3" and 6.5". I have been looking at all the panels thinking how the heck I am going to get all of the surfaces. :- o

Wolfgang Swirl Remover is a fairly aggressive polish, it should have plenty of cut for regular swirl marks. My paint was in fairly good shape so I did a 1 step with Sonax PF with Rupes Yellow pads. I ended up reaching for the 3" over the 5" machine on a lot of the panels on my Mustang.

Ugghh that sounds like alot of time..
I ordered some orange and white pads, maybe swirl remover and white pad is possibly an option. Maybe I can get some pictures tomorrow.

If you plan on a DIY polish and deep gloss/shine finish......it will be time consuming, somewhat tedious..but not really a lot of work! Turn on some tunes, take your time and do it right. My process to CQuartz UK application was 3 days of on and off "polishing"/ microfibre cloths, inspect and redo areas where needed. I used a tape in the areas that had scratches in direct light but hard to see when polishing! Just think of the end result....then consider a Ceramic Coating. It's the now finish and the shine is "beyond...beyond". Good luck and keep us posted. Remember these new Stangs have a minuscule amount of clear coat....stay away for edges, panel ridge edges for any extended polishing time. Concentrate on the more "flat panels" the lower concave panels in the doors are more forgiving to the eye. .......As Arnie would say..."Just do eeeet! "

This and learn how to do a proper 3 bucket wash. Autogeek has a lot of good how to videos. I thought I knew what I was doing, but turns out I was putting a lot of scratches on my car.
I ended up having my car polished and detailed professionally for $300, then putting on UK quartz myself for around $70.
So for under $400 my paint is perfect and protected.

I had a modesta coating put on as well as Xpel clear film on the front bumper fascia. I still get rock chips (a nasty one on the front part of the roof by the windshield ugh...) but feel better with this long term vs just the factory clear coat... It is worth the time and $ to do.. I use a waterless car wash product called "chadwicks triple play" and once I am done it looks like i spent hours waxing and polishing...
Dr Color Chip works well for the occassional blemishes that will eventually come.

The ceramics sure give it that outta site shine right?? Do you detail spray your car? I got some Echo2 ceramic spray detailer from Corey at Car-Pro in Florida. Gives it that extra "pop" !

As with the old way of waxing, we all used a detail spray for In between waxing. So with Ceramic Coatings , Car Pro has a product ECHo2 which really goes a long way. Don't forget...Ceramic Coatings are basically glass finishes when done. This product enhances the shine to another level!! I used a microfibre cloth and sprayed the cloth and did sections turning the cloth over to polish. You dilute with water....this should last a couple of years. Yes do a Reload every 2-3 months.
