First Black vehicle

I am looking at getting 99 Chevy Silverado here soon. Black exterior that is full of swirls. what is the best course of action to correcting this to a nice black finish. i do have a meguiars DA.

Since you have a D/A, life will be easy! After you wash it, clay bar if necessary to get any contaminants off the paint. Then id just go straight to Ultimate Compound with a yellow pad and have at it. Follow up with Ultimate Polish with yellow pad and then your wax of choice. Should come out great!

Since you have the G110v2 already, I would suggest you read up this article: D/A Buffing 101: An Introduction to the G110v2 and similar.

This article is also good for starters: Meguiar's 5-Step Paint Care Cycle.

You may want to do a test spot of Ult. Polish first, but having both on your shelf will be good, and you may need UC anyway if it is that bad.

And a polishing pad, if not using meguairs pads.

I do have both on hand with plenty of pads. so ultimate compound then ult. polish and wax of my choice? also the dealership has loaded down all the interior pieces with armorall. i ran my had across the dash and it felt like i had just done a oil change and my hands were full of oil! what can remove armorall? very dilluted degreaser?

Something like APC or APC+ would be my preference.

Yep, that'll work.
