I just did a black metallic S4. Used Rupes/Boss Yellow pads and mostly Essence. Had a couple of areas that needed Fast Correcting Cream for deeper defects but it wasn`t bad at all.

Looked like this before:

I don`t think it should give you too much trouble.

My apologies if the links don`t work (I can never tell when they do or don`t, and post pictures so infrequently I keep forgetting to figure out what`s wrong), but here are pictures of a brilliant black bumper cover I picked up for my wife`s old A4.

Before:


After Griot`s Correcting Cream on the GG Microfiber Fast Finishing Pad:


After Griot`s One Step Sealant on GG Orange Pad:

Brandt - from me experience, it is similar to mopar black (hard clear but doesn`t want to finish nicely).

Typically on the hard side and can be a bit fussy to finish, but nothing too crazy and various combos have worked well for me.

I`ve seen it be both difficult to finish and no problem. Depends on what clear they use. I`ve used Griot`s fast cut on both fast cut foam and microfiber, and refined with both yellow with perfecting cream or black with the same. You can also use finishing sealant the wipe with paint prep before lsp. You just need the correct lighting to make sure you have clarity.

I`d let you do my white whale but the wife won`t let it out of her sight for more than a few hours

Brandt, I think you would be find following you regiment as you do when doing a Mopar black. I did a S5 last year with my Rupes 21 3 stage mf cutting pad meguiars 100 followed by mf finish pad with 205 followed by white polishing pad and Essence.

Hope this helps my friend.

The guy who owns clearfinish polishes audi`s all the time. His P1 compound with a MF pad can be used as a 1 step from what he posts. Cuts and finishes amazing. No dust. He has a FB group.

[Civicclutch]

Make sure to jewel before lsp. That is my only suggestion lol

i have his products (p1, endurance and radiance)
you cant one step black properly, i dont care who you are unless its barely marred

there is Always room for more gloss

great news..its metallic black and it bears a ridiculous resemblance to the red, green, yellow/gold, and some random blue flakes that are in my brilliant black metallic


look at those water spots!!!!!

That`s phantom black. I`ve used plenty of different combos for heavy cutting, but almost always grab rupes yellow to finish it. Sonax perfect finish for one step polishing. M205, the old menzerna final finish or angelwax redemption to finish.
