I have used M07 on a black car and it has turned out great, like looking into a black mirror. One more step but well worth it if you want my opinion.

Using products such as SwirlX or Ultimate Compound are in a sense polishes too... the vernacular is somewhat ambiguous as it is in constant flux by various users and forums. So, products like SwirlX clean your paint while at the same time removes defects. Usually, and optionally, people then proceed with a "pure" polish. If you want to just use an "all in one" product, you may go ahead and use ColorX or Cleaner Wax, but they will not be as effective at reducing swirls as UC or SwirlX may be. It's all about assessing your paint and what you want/ have enough time to do. Paint correction, at least in my optinion, does not involve a clear cut, singular method.

Re: What 5 products should i use for a black car using the Meguairs 5 Step Care Cycle

yeah, i skipped the polish step because it is optional. I've used DC2 with good results. M07 is also good, but some say it's harder to apply (I noticed no difference in regards to ease of use). Sorry for not including it in my previous post, but in my opinion, I find it a little redundant to use every detail. Polishes will help your paint look deeper and give it that wet look, and will definitely compliment any wax (in this case NXT 2.0)

So step 3 is optional thanks man I to thought it was too many steps so when u use a product for cleaning its like polishing or what????

Re: What 5 products should i use for a black car using the Meguairs 5 Step Care Cycle

yea silverjag i think skipped step 3 or what?? cause he went from cleaning and preparing directley to wax or you don't need to do step 3 cause that is what has me confused

All of the above answers are great, but if you're looking for 1 product for each step, this is what I use on my black car, and I think it offers great results.

Wash- Gold Class

Cleaning and prepping- smooth surface clay bar

Prepping- Asses the paint, the more damaged it is, the stronger the product you should use. Use the search button to find a list of products and how aggressive they are. Consumer wise, it goes SwirlX, ScratchX 2.0, Ultimate Compound (Least to most aggressive)

Protect- I use NXT 2.0 with great results. Lasts a long time while providing a deep, wet black look.

Re: What 5 products should i use for a black car using the Meguairs 5 Step Care Cycle

yea we posted at the same time , so for each step i should just pick any of those products there is not a "best 1" product for each step for example for washing i just choose from all them products

NXT Techwax 2.0 is excellent on black!
Step 5 -Maintaing ( product?)
I like UQD....Some prefer to use UQW



Im working by hand so i wanna know what meguairs products are the best to use for each step?????????

Instead of DC1 and DC2,you could use something like SwirlX,ScratchX or Ultimate Compound,if you have swirls/scratches to get rid of.
