davyk31 Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 I have bought a 2003 Fiesta as my answer to the problems of winter and a rear wheel drive BMW. Car is black, generally in good condition with a few scuffs but obviously hasn't been polished in a long time. Plan to start with claying it, I have Sonus Green but should I use something more agressive? There are a few scuffs, is Megs SctatchX a reasonable product? After that should I do anything else or just get a few coats of Autoglym SRP on and some wax after or is there a better polish I can use for a black car to hide the swirls. All work will be done by hand. Also as I wont be polishing this car loads and my other cars are a lighter colour I don't really want to buy a load of specific products but if there was a polish that would be good at hiding the scuffs/marks I guess it would be worthwhile. Any thoughts or advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanG Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 I'd have a quick go with some t cut too (seriously), followed by poor boys black hole glaze to reduce swirls and the Megs NXT wax. Did that on the Boxster, looks superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davyk31 Posted October 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Does the Poorboys Blackhole replace the Autoglym SRP ? I was planning to top it off with a couple of layers of Collinite 476 wax as its nice durable stuff and I have a tin in the garage but its the preparation stages that are important.

NewNiceMrMe Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 I would recommend CG Black Light, as the name suggests formulated for black cars. Then, top it off with Pinnacle Souveran, again said to be at its best on black cars. I did the Z a few weeks back with both and this is what it gave me: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Disappointingly, they're not chromed on the Z. So there isn't a great deal to polish. When it gets the Milltek on it, that'll be the time to show those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 If you polish them hard enough, they'll still shine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 That's true and they are shiny, they're just not as shiny as the chromed ones were on the 6, so it's not really up to standard in that respect and I don't get the same buzz out of polishing them!
