    Lot of the guys swear by Poorboys. Great products and very good prices. Don`t know condition of the paint or what tools you have.

    But I would first wash. Then clay bar the whole vehicle, probably a lot of contaminants. Then a swirl remover on a PC, Followed by Poorboys Black Hole Glaze on the PC. Lastly a polish or wax. Really hard to give you a definitive answer without seeing the vehicle and knowing what you have to work with.

    that is a cool car, If It were mine I would invest in a poorboys world porter cable kit from detailcity.com as all that you would really need would be contained in the kit. I would add to this purchase a tub of natty`s red. It looks like you are in a rough part of town. TD

    you have many options, but if you have thin paint be careful polishing by machine. You would want to use chemical polish vs a mechanical stay away from cutting pads if you do use a machine ... you will also want to use a glaze and then top it with wax/and or a sealant
    life is short ..do it while you can

    Poorboy`s Polish with Carnauba - Blue is my favorite all in one for black paint. It works great by hand or machine. Top with Poorboy`s EX or Natty`s Blue Paste Wax for an even better look and protection.

    I should tell you.

    The Marauder is a show car.
    It`s rare therefore it goes to alot of shows.

    I would LOVE to get a show car detail on it. Any tips on how to get the paint great is welcome.
    I can already see I am in the right place for this.

    I agree on all parts here but I would add PB...black hole after the P-w-C...black paint is going to have swirls no matter what and the glaze will fill those in and add a bunch of POP!!

    Good advice.

    I also agree that this just might be the perfect situation for a glaze followed by a wax. (That is following the appropriate paint cleaning prep work already mentioned).

    Locally available:
    Mother`s claybar system
    ClayMagic claybar system
    Either will do the job.
    Meguiar`s has a clay product also on local shelves, but I have not used it.

    Stand by with a bottle of QD and a MF towel.
