Thanks for the advice! I do have a rotary (Flex), and I`ll do exactly that - good idea, thanks - up until now, I have been relying on the PC DA to do a final once-over with Menzerna 4500, but the rotary is a great idea.

Thanks!

Anytime, it really add`s that extra mirror/polarized look.

Here was my actual process, but I also wet sanded/denim paded the entire car because it has been painted previously with tons of orange peel and left me with a ton of paint to work with.

The shoemakers kids got shoes...

Glosscoat or CQuartz UK! Congrats on the Lambo. Have a feeling metallic paint will be easier to manage.

For deep shine gloss you may choose from
(but not very durable):
Polish angel master sealant
Pomponazzi Balsoo (or pie with CQ UK +balsoo)

Carbon Collective Oracle

"Exotic" Balsoo you can find on rakuten.com

I`m a huge fan of the CQUK. All my cars/motorcycles are black, my GTI is a metallic and its awesome. It somehow darkened it PLUS made the metalics pop a bit more than my previous coating choices. Can`t wait to see your choice/final results!!

I have never heard of Pomponazz, or Carbon Collective. Not sure about the likelihood of me being able to source either of these, but will look into them - thanks for the recommendations!

I have really liked CQUK, too. I have yet to use it on metallic black, though. The Driver likes it, too. I could always use the CQUK that I have, and see how it goes. I am not adverse to removing a coating that I don`t really love!

Thanks for all of the suggestions! Much appreciated, gentlemen!
