Glaze recommendation for Black Clio

[ThereIsOnlyMe]

Hi all,

just wondering what people are using at the moment as a glaze, and what you'd recommend for my metallic black Clio?

Compared to the fleck in the black paint of the Discovery, the fleck in the Clio's paint seems quite small, so anything that will help give it a bit of pop would be great.

Thanks

Chris

How into detailing are you?

Machining? Waxes, polishes?

Poorboys blackhole is a fantastic product for black cars and works find under 99% of decent waxes.

Here are a few pictures (bottom of the page)

I've got a PC & some Sonus pads, Megs polishes etc. and I'm trying to find more time to practice.

I did my Clio at the weekend, but I'm not that happy with the results. Gloss improved all over, but I felt that DACP on a Sonus DAS Orange wasn't giving me the correction I was after. It felt like I was just addressing oxidation on the clear coat rather than anything else.

My paint seems quite hard, not too many swirl marks to start with, mostly RDS. Getting any correction was quite hard work.

I was thinking that a glaze would improve the "depth" and help the flake to pop.

It will do the latter, but you understand it will not get rid of swirls, only mask them.

What JD said.

I always say people maybe expect too much from a DA. Too get to a rotary level of performance from a DA you need to be a pro imo.

Keep practicing though.

Poorboys blackhole with a DA on a finishing pad will add something to your paint no end. I even have a bottle for sale!

Of Blackhole? Might have a buyer for a BMW I have no time for.

Yeah mate I bought a bottle not long ago I used it on one panel. I already had a little left over in an old bottle.

Cheap cheap sale.

Yeah, sure. It's a daily driver, not destined for Pebble Beach

If I can get better with the DA, get a bit more correction, and then fill anything I can't get rid of, that's fine with me.

For my car I have a rule that if I can't see the imperfection from about 2 feet, that's good enough. At that point it's not going to wind me up on a daily basis.
