help with CARBON BLACK

**vinnyxgunz** · 05-25-2009, 04:24 PM

just bought a carbon black metallic m3... the color is beautiful... it`s black with midnight blue and you can actually see some purple in there sometimes too

the car is in great shape... problems are

1. lots of swirl marks... past (original owner) would take it to the car wash

2. front bumper just seems "dull"

3. car just doesn`t have that "deep, wet" look

can someone help me out with a step-by-step?

1. wash with dawn

2. clay the car

...then what?

thanks a lot guys

I have had great results with Menzerna SIP and 106FF on my carbon black M3.

is one a polish and one a wax?

They are both polishes. A quick search will yield many results for the two. Here is how carbon black looks when polished correctly---
