Welcome :wavey



Your plan looks good to me. The Benz should come out very nice. Make sure you detail the wheels, tires, trim, glass, interior, etc.



The light scratches may not come out with the #9 so consider buying some Scratch X or similar to remove them. But try the #9 and see if it`ll do the trick.



Good luck!!

Sounds like a treat !

Post pics of your work following !

Black definetly takes a lil extra effort, so take your time. I like to do my cars in thirds i.e. Hood, and front fenders...roof and doors...then deck and rear panels....That way im always completing a portion of the car, and it doesnt get overwhelming, (thia helps when your doing Expeditions and Sub`s)plus if i dont like the results after a certain phase, I havent done the entire car !



Welcome btw....:wavey

thanks for the replys. one more question if i may. as far as puting on the SEC. should i do that with a foam pad or PC.

I apply SEPC with a PC and a polishing pad. Work it in fully and the car will look great.
