hello. in 3 weeks ill be buffing my black pontiac g6 and i really want it to pop this year, what do you recomend. everything from pads to waxes, glazes, compounds, the whole thing. i have a dewalt buffer.
 
My first questions would be what machine and pads do you have, what condition the paint is in, and how much experiance do you have with the machine?

Its a Dewalt DW849. If it were me, I would start off with a good compound like Megs 105 and an orange Lake Country or Poorboys VC pad (pads), or even LC foamed wool, move to Poorboys SSR 2 and white pad, then Poorboys Black Hole and Grey pad. Then sealant and wax.
Ask 10 people what to use on black and you'll get 10 differant answers, but Ive always had outstanding results from Poorboys.

Well it would depend on the level of correction your going for. If your looking for perfection your going to need more than Black Hole. Its a really good glaze and will hide alot of imperfections but probably wont remove many. Nattys Blue seems to look better on black than red does. They are both glossy wax but neither last long. I like to put a coat of sealant like
EX-P or Wolfgang 3.0 down first to provide the real protection and use Nattys as a topper.

My issue with going straight to glaze, especially with a rotary, is your still going to have swirls from the compound under the glaze. If the day comes that your sealant or wax wears down, your going to start noticing swirls. The polishing step in between compound and glaze eliminates that.

Ive never ordered (yet) directly from Poorboys. Ive always just ordered from Autogeek because I try to order everything I need at once and always needed other stuff, but I do know that they ship fast. Youll have your stuff within a few days.
