New Paint on the GN........

[QuickBuick87]

Hi all. MY 87 GN has finally got new paint (black of course) that is about 4 months old now and i`m looking for advise on what would be a good `first` wax to use? Car has a two stage base/clear coat and has been wet sanding and now ready for wax. Thanks!!

Is it polished? If so, what did you use to correct the wet sanding?

[QuickBuick87]

The body shop used 3M Imperial hand glaze to `buff` out the clear. Otherwise, there`s no other polishes or chemicals that I know of. Hope this helps.

If the paint is free of defects then theres a ton of waxes out there. If you want a pure nuba, Souveran comes to mind. Little pricey, about 85 bucks for a tub, but looks awesome on black.

FK 1000p topped with FK Pink Wax, this is goin to be what I am using on my friends 70 mach 1 that was repained black with silver stripes. Just placed my order with FK1 (great people on the phone I must add).

Welcome dude. Another GN owner!!



I use a carnuba on my car. I love to use RMG topped with a carnuba. S100 looks super nice on black and I also like my Pink Wax as someone else already mentioned. The s100 to me looks more "warm" though.

Try a IPA/water 50/50 wipedown to ensure that all of the defects are removed before applying a LSP.
