Wax/polishing help

[yruslow]

I've got a 87' GN with 6 year old paint and it's starting to get swirls and small scratches in the paint . It seems like it mostly on top panels ( Hood, top , trunk) I was thinking about getting a porter cable 7424 polisher . Anyone out there know what works best on black paint. I show this car so it has to look real deep and dark

My favorite combo right now is this:

Start with Poorboys polishes. Not sure how bad your swirls are but start off with SSR1 on a green pad, if that doesn't do it, move to SSR2 if not 2.5 on a green pad. You last resort is moving up in pads. Move up in product strength first. Orange cutting pad as the last/most abbrasive. You want to use the least abbrassive combo that gets the job done.

My next step after swirls are gone or minimized is to use Clearkotes Red Moose machine glaze. This adds a ton richness to black IMO.
I use a black/grey finishing pad for this

Then I top with my fav carnuba or sealant. Right now I'm a huge fan of Finish Kare's Pink Wax. I applied this with a black finishing pad. Took me no time to do the entire car.

I keep this combo up between washes with Finish Kare's #425 quick detailer. This stuff is AWESOME
Of course, everything is removed with microfiber towels.
