Diamond Black advice

Or try Autoglym ultra deep gloss or there HD wax works for me on my black ED 30. :happy2:

Im not sure if it will give a great finish using AG Super Resin before you wax as it lays down wax as it polishes, so the wax wont bond to the car as well and so wont last as long. THe collinite is supposed to be very hard wearing so a good choice if you dont intend to treat the car to a regular top up.

I have used blackhole as a glaze and it does help with the pearlescent fleck and at masking some of the swirl marks, if you do decide to drop the SRP then try some Sonus SFX-2 I have used this by hand on my DBP and it gave some good results, also used it on a number of other cars and really cleaned up surface swirls and key and ring scratches around handle very well.

Once you start waxing you may find it hard to stop as you get used to having water bead off your car!  :rolleye:

As has just been posted been using HD wax on mine with great results, still wouldnt put it down on top of the SRP but more likely to bond if they use similar waxes in there compound (so same manufacturer is normally better.

I get confused between polishes sealant glazes and waxes.

Do you wash then .... then .... then .... then wax?  Could someone fill in the gaps with some product suggestions?

Wash two bucket method with lambswool mit, then ideally clay but if not then polish Sonus SFX-2 what I use by hand, then glaze I use poor boys black hole, then either seal or wax.  Wax as with most of these stages will have a lot of opinions, your original suggest of collinite is probably a good one as its very hard wearing and from read ups easy to use.  I have been using AG HD wax which has been great but think its a bit pricier than the collinite.

You will also need polishing pads basic ones will be fine for this sort of application (rather than buying massively expensive AG perfect polish ones which are hand shaped) 2-3 good micro-fibre towels to remove the various products and to apply the wax you will want a applicator sponge which should be damp.

Add to that some time and a lot of elbow grease, but a very satisfying day!  Also with the high pressure that we have sitting over us at the moment weather should be stable and hopefully no rain!  although it might be a bit on the parky side.

Cheers for the help RICH83 I'll hopefully have a dry weekend  :happy2:
