I have a Milano red civic and I am just getting started with detailing. I will definitly have pictures up by tommorow. I have been researching and reading reviews on here for combos. I know there are many combos out there I could use, I am looking for a full process including swirl removing. I have fairly bad swirling everywhere. I want to keep the red bright, not darken it too much. Keep in mind I will doing this all by hand for now. I have recently been looking into poorboy's products as they give a clear, wet apperence not to mention they are easy to apply by hand. I do have many scraches that I will have to touch up eventually, I will show you them in the pictures. In the meantime, what are some good combinations for red paint and what are the effects of these prducts on the paint? pictures are good. :)
 
Everything looks good on red! Seriously, in my experience, seems like anything that looks good on black - looks good on red as well. "Combos" I have been happy with on red (I own 3 red vehicles and 1 black vehicle):



S100 "twins" SEPC and S100

Klasse AIO/SG

AIO/S100



I have some Souveran but haven't used it yet, I hear it looks great on red.



One thing I have tried several times that does NOT look good on red (my opinion) is NXT, love it on everything else though.



YMMV
 
I am glad that a lot looks good on red for final toppers/sealents etc. How about for polishing by hand? I know of DACP, SFP (or just SFP). 2.5 SSR by itself, then on to EX-P(with some kind of glaze and then wax after EX-P).
 
On our red Jetta I finished up polishing with #80 and just used some #16 after with good results.
