Polish for Black

[Scottie]

Wul,

What is the best polish for shine for a Black Motor. Got a nice Black Beast due in our drive for Christmas Eve and just wondering what is the best polish to buy Allan for a Chrissie present

It's not a solid black but Carbon Black.

Are you looking for a polish (ie. an abrasive product that will get rid of fine scratches etc) or a wax/sealant based product that will just protect the paint finish and leave it shiney?

looking for something that will take care of any fine scrathces as it polishes and shines.

Got the three stage meguairs stuff but dinae leave a wet look shine IMO and that's what I want.

Hey Fi - guessing the "black beast" will be new.

If so then I would go with something like Klasse AIO follwed by a coat of Megs#16 or P21S carnuba - these are well recommended on Autopia and personally by KenL.

The real problem with black is keeping it swirl free - so you know it needs to be a lambswool mitt and 2 bucket wash.

Your 3-stage megs kit will do for keeping the swirls at bay once it starts to get warmer.

Klasse AIO is a great product and id would recommend that, perhaps topped up with Poorboy's Natty's Blue Wax (heard good things about this.)For a quick wax product.......im getting some at xmas Optimum Car Wax is meant to be great. Spray on wax/sealant , so takes 15 mins to do the car. Great to keep wax layer built up.

Personally im going down the sealant route, of Klasse AIO followed by Poorboy's EXP (a pure sealant), topped up with Optimum Car Wax.
