Here is what I would get,



the PC and sonus pad kit from here...

I would also get the sonus base kit and topcoat kit.

You can never have enough Mirco fiber towel.

Gold Class or NXT soap. I dont order soap on line...



Autopia store has a good WW micro for drying



1- Wash Mitt- no swirls



2-bucket wash method -1 for soap, 1- for rinsing the mitt



Evaluate your surface, does it have scratches or swirls?



A PC from Lowes 7336



Pad and backing plate package from Autopia



Sonus polishes



Autoglym sealant



NXT tech wax is great and you can get it local.



...Oh ya, get some clay :)

Koven- Welcome to Autopia!



Besides all the "read up" advice you`ve already received, I`ll add:



Get yourself a foamgun and get acquainted with it ;)



Best thing you can do for a black car, IMO. Search on "foamgun" and you`ll find all sorts of info.

Try review section too for good products.

any clay

NXT or Eagle One wash

Megs #80 for swirls

Megs ColorX for cleaning

Megs NXT or #26 for wax

until you learn what mixes and doesn`t it easier to stay in 1 product line for good results

Meguiars products can be found at Napa, Carquest and paint supply stores
