Black car owners!
Do you guys polish twice a year? Thats what I like to stick to is m205 on a white pad. I for sure have to have it once and maybe twice. What do you other fellow black car owners detail schedule look like per year?

My wife's car is tuxedo black ford the paint is soft so I can also get away with m205 on a white pad. I polish after the winter months and just let it go the whole year it's a dd. my car not black gets polished maybe twice a year in spots I am a lot more careful with it then she is with her car and mine does a lot of local shows so I have to keep it clean

Usually 3 times a year. But I'm using an ultra fine polish, not M205.

I will order the Optimum being I see you recommend it to me and now here
You told me it has a long work time.
I will order they're least aggressive polish.
How much does they're fine polish cut?
Reason I ask is to have something on hand for my soft paint

I do it based on paint condition not a specific time frame

It use to be twice a year, once before winter then end of spring. I have PBL coating, sealant & BF BlackICE on my 06 Mustang now, hopefully that eliminates the need to polish. Im in California so weather isn't bad, spoiled actually...

I've heavily thought about doing a coating for my spring detail just to mitigate having to take more clear off. It seems intimidating. If I did say opticoat 2.0 how long does that last really? Does the coating get swirls like a clear coat? Are there any signs showing that the coating is wearing off?

Re: Black car owners!
If I remember correctly:
I haven't polished the '98 p/u since ~2006.
It's a little bit overdue.
Been buying-up all of the M07 that I can afford, and get my hands on.
Spring is only a couple of months away. Maybe then.
