    Polish/Enhancer?

    Ok guys/gals.
    I have a quick question. I have a 2013 Mustang that I just received and it real clean, but I want to enhance the paint to make it really "pop" out in the sun. I could just do a quick detail with the Ultima detail spray and the Sonus microfiber towels. Any suggestions on a great polish/shine enhancer? I usually go with a Zaino polish type product. What is the greatest product you have personally used achieving this affect? I will be doing this by hand in the garage by the way, so it has to be a hand type polish. Pics would be great too. (I am not a pro detailer by any means. Just really anal about my vehicles.)
    THANKS!

    Greatest is relevative to paint hardness, color, age, condition and so many other factorrs. There are just too many great polishes to pick just one. I would suggest you take a look at both PoorBoys and BlackFires product lines. Chances are you won`t piick a loser. It`s not likely that you need a heavy polish at this poiint. That said, most people find that claying a new car yields noticable results. Clay follwed up with a light polish and LSP is likely all that new horse would need.

    If I was in your position I would probably pick up blackfire gloss enhancing polish and follow that up with the wet diamond all finish paint protection. I hear nothing but good things about black fire products

    As Gearhead says, the best process is a good wash, clay (if unsure of technique practice first), light polish or paint cleaner, and use your favorite sealant or wax.

    Is your mustang the Gotta Have it Green? I would suggest Wolfgang Deep Paint Sealant as it will leave a bright glossy finish but there are so many choices.

    +1 on the blackfire products. after the bfwd cures, hit with a coat of bfms or bfms spray wax for that wet ice over fire shine. you won`t regret it.

    A trick I use when I show my Cobra is to apply a quality glaze. You lose durability but you can`t beat the look. I personally prefer WetGlaze2.0

    I`ll just throw this combo out there because it works very well. Black Fire SRC Finishing polish by hand or machine. Black Fire Wet Diamond 2 coats 4 hours apart. Then 24 hours later put on Black Fire Midnight Sun and you will be blown away. It doesn`t matter what color the car is this is a blinding combo. Just my 2 cents
