Here is a classic example of why NOT to let the dealership "prep" your vehicle upon delivery. This poor victim was only 2 weeks old before it came to me.

Thanks for the compliment! Here is what I used:

Paint

1. wash
2. clay (amazing how much contaminants are on a new car)
3. #9 (although some areas needed DACP)
4. #7
5. #21 x 2

Tires

1. washed with soap & water
2. endurance

tire wells : hyper dressing.

It's amazing the damage a dealer can do to a brand new care eh

I have been using #7 with the pc (speed 2-3) for some time now and have had no issues, I use a black lake country pad with no pressure and work it in all directions. buff off by hand using an mf towel.

Alot of people say #7 is unecessary if you are going to follow up with a sealant or wax, however I find it really brings alot of depth to dark color cars.

It's cosmos-black. I even checked the code under the hood because I didn't believe it was a type black.
