A couple of weeks ago I polished my car using AG SRP. What I would like to do next to apply poorboys black hole and a couple of layers of collinite 476 but I got the following questions;
Can I simply wash and dry the car then add the poorboys then in a couple of weeks apply just the wax after washing or do I have to do the whole lot in one sitting? I cannot really afford the time to do it in one shot due to having a small family but really want it to look tip top.
Also wrt to the poorboys and the 476 are they easy to use as Ive never used them before and will be doing it by hand. Is it a case of using only a small amount as ultimately you then have to remove the excess?
Cheers

You should wax the car when it is perfectly clean
476 is easy to use - just dont apply to to thickly. Multiple thin coats are far easier to apply/remove
Blackhole is dead easy to use

I'm no pro but I would imaging if you don't wax/seal after applying the PB's Blackhole it will just wash off when you next wash the car and you'll have to do it all again. I was also told that using a product like Blackhole (Lusso Revitalising Creme in my case) would negate the effect of the AG SRP. That came from JPC too who knows his stuff.

Correct - black hole is a glaze. Unless it is sealed on with either a Sealant or a Wax itll just wash away.

As above, unless you use entirely abrasive compounds to polish the surface, you're undoing your hard wOrk. Most of these other polishes have fillers to fill in swirls. Washing will just remove them.
It shouldn't take you forever to do. I reckon you could wash, clay, dry, polish and wax in about four hours. Get up early to do it if you have to. Sunrise is around 0600 these days.

There goes my line in this weekend. My problem is I don't mind the 4 hours on my motor it's the further 4 on the wifes car :jumping:
Cheers for all the help as ever fellas
