PB Black Hole + ? Wax

[Bill D]

I`m curious about the Pebble Beach winner as well

Noted and given credence




Huh, OK..not what I would`ve expected from the othe posts.

So what *would* you prefer Black on?



Sigh...[INSERT comment on a car from `87 being "vintage"]...it does sound like you and I are on the same page regarding our versions of "the correct look".

Vintage as compared to todays` paints and looks.

IMHO natts black is better for newer cars. IMHO it has a brighter look (mirror), where blue has the deeper, warmer richer look, more "wax jetting" (look).

One time "age" has an advantage in knowing what the cars looked like (as well as almost having bought a gn, but got a vette instead). That and having spent tons and tons of time at car shows/auctions, and hearing from experts on what is looked for.

Hi,

Friend just purchased a pristine 1987 Grand National, with excellent single stage black paint. The car has been cared for, and it shows. However, all of the caring comes with light swirls.

There`s a car show coming up this weekend, and he`d like my help with getting a good finish.
While I`d usually opt for paint correction - there`s simply no time. Which leads me to an application of Black Hole, plus an unknown wax.

I`ve got a plethora at my disposal. Natty`s Blue and Black. Fuzion. Souveran. P21S 100%. FK1000p. Etc etc.
The goal here is to hide/fill the swirls, and get a good wet looking finish. Black Hole is a no-brainer...question, just comes down to which type of "beauty" wax?

Initially, thinking Natty`s Black. But have thoughts about using Souveran as well.
While Natty`s Black will provide additional filling, I`m thinking the heavy oil content in Souveran may amp up the wetness/gloss. Suppose it comes down to how much will the Black Hole "fill", too...

Has anyone got experience with the above combo on single stage black?

Pictures to follow during the weekend.


Thanks in advance for input.

Where is show? What type of show?

Right, eh...my humor is either too subtle or just OFF today.

Eh, I must`ve completely misinterpreted something...thanks for setting me straight.

Yeah, I keep telling myself that`s a feature. Heh heh, my pal Bob can give an earful about how mortified I was that he had his Jag MKII reshot in b/c. I tried to tweak its LSP/etc. a little to mitigate that "it looks like a new Lexus or something.." look.

Not off at all. I just needed to set the "yoots" of the forum straight.

Thanks everyone for your input.

Going to do the whole car, presumably with Black Hole, along with Natty`s Blue.
Out of pure curiosity, I will do one panel with Souveran.

Paint correction may or may not be in the cards for this car. As the paint has been VERY well maintained, it`s not impervious to "love marks", which have manifested in the form of light swirling.
In all honesty, applications of Black Hole and a preferred wax are all it will likely get going forward.

The look we`re going for is a wet, jetting pool of ink. Nothing shiny or "bright", but rather more "deep".

Car Show is in SoFlo - Pompano Beach, at the Festival Flea Market. Always a good show, and a huge turnout.

Looked at the sight. Looks like a blast. No mention as to the "judges" and what thy may look for.

I`d have to leave at 6am or before to be there. You gonna ready the car after my trek across the bug/phosphate/etc state of FL ??

you wouldn`t have to leave so early .. many don`t arrive until 10-11 .. some early birds come for club parking .. but the Corvette group always holds extra spaces

sure we could clean it up after the Bug Trek
