good paint body man told me that a good carnuba is the best on black paints, I use a 3 step mothers process and have been very impressed97gtdroptop said:I use NXT and a good carnuba like Mothers.If you really want to bring your black paint to life make sure to claybar!!
You are on drugs my friend...Cavallo said:Meguiars is crap.
I use Adam's Polishes, expensive........worth every penny.
As good as Zaino if not better.
IMOP anything used at a HIGH end detailer, its good.
The stuff in stores is total crap. (fact)
Clay bar must be used or you will scratch the hell out of the paint.

Cavallo said:You need to wash car, clay car till baby butt smooth. Remove oxidation if needed.
Thats why adams works for ME, all in one kit and works KILLER on dark paint.
Lasts for months on raw paint (no clear)
Buffer should never be used unless trained properly. Buffer uses dirt in the air to scratch the paint(clay removes the stuff stuck into the paint) Buffer can burn the paint also.
So a super clean car is needed during the process.
I cheat and look for stuff that needs no buffer and take real bad spots to a HIGH end shop. (Read cars WAY out of my league)
Take this info with a grain of salt, i had great teachers........Cars with bad paint.

Black Stang 97 said:is that the name of the product "clay bar" or is there a brand for it, ive never heard of it, also, ive never seen zaino, do stores carry them or do i have to order it online?? where can i get these products, im going to return my "zymol" tommorow and buy sumthing else.
Amen, you can put a great wax on a poor surface and will not last as long. With out prep you can put Adams, Poorboys, Clearkote, Meg's, etc, etc and they will not hold up as well as it should. Also Meg's is by far crap it is a good company that has good and not so good products. ALL products have their down fall's you have too take where you live into account as in climate (extreme heat and or cold), and city's (pollution) vs. County (clean air). When you get into layering products some are not able to bond well with each other example: A hand glaze may not be able to bond well with some paint sealant due to the oils in the glaze.Anthony Orosco said:Wax alone has no real properties to make your black car look its best. The eye candy comes from proper paint prep more than the wax you use.
Properly prep the paint and you can use any wax on it and it will look great. Some waxes may last longer, some may be easier on and off, other may need to be applied by buffer but it all comes down to the prep work.
Look at wax as a sacrificial barrier between the elements and your polished car.
