BlackICE Prep

[Custom Care]

Thanks to Roshan's benevolence I will have my hands on a BlackIce sample here shortly. I plan on testing it out on my wife's nighthawk black pearl Accord. I'm about to place an AF order and was looking for some quick advice for prepping the paint just in case I need to pick something up.

The paint is in decent condition but it will definitely need a good polishing. Before getting my hands on some BlackICE I was going to go:
CG Blacklight
JetSeal
Signature 50/50 Nuba

Now it seems sacrilegious to not go BF all the way. Plus I've been looking for an excuse to get my hands on some BF. Thinking about going:
GEP
Wet Diamond (Multiple coats?)
BlackICE

My questions:
1. Is there a reason I should go with TPnS over GEP?
2. Should I leave the Wet Diamond completely out? And the 2 oz sample should be plenty to cover the entire at least once right?

I just used BlackIce I hope I could answer some questions with my thread.

My questions:
1. Is there a reason I should go with TPnS over GEP?

You can use either, I used GEP because I wanted to see what a non abrasive detail could do. And GEP didn't disappoint. On some spots I used TPnS on light scratches on the rear door


2. Should I leave the Wet Diamond completely out? And the 2 oz sample should be plenty to cover the entire at least once right?

Leave WD out for now, BI alone did a amazing job.

Thank you for the information, I read your thread before and that's mostly what pushed me to go BF all the way, that and JSmooth's constant praising of the SRC combo
