A Black Z06 with questions

[triche]

Im a newbee with a black Z06. I drive it frequently and I am starting to have very light scratches. I am assuming that if I use colorx followed by NXt it should yield great results. The question is should I apply both by hand? The two tools I have to apply the products are my hand and an orbital buffer from the store. I will be getting a DA later down the road.

Is the colorx alone good or should I coat it with the NXT?

Sorry for all the dumb questions.

I would do the following.

WasH
Clay
scratchx
color-x
nxt.


Never been a fan of the orbitals. Basically they are great for applying wax. You may want to do it by hand.

Re: A Black Z06 with questions

what year is the z06, and what is the condition of the paint? If you don't have very much experience grab a d/a and some M151 which is a one step and go from there you will notice a little bit of everything. Scratch removal, polish, and a wax finish

Are you referring to D151 PRC?

If it is a new Z06, the paint is likely rock hard, not sure how much improvement you will get by hand.

But a basic detail like mentioned above will certainly help, and keep things from getting worse until you have the DA.

ColorX is a great wax. It is a aggressive cleaner wax that cleans, polishes, and protects all in 1 step.

NXT is a polishing wax and will give you the deepest wet look. Depending on the condition of the surface, if it has swirls and scratches in it, I would use ColorX first and then follow it with NXT. If the paint is near perfect, I would just put 2 thin coats of NXT on the surface.
