Best method to apply PB Black Hole

[angrypressmn]

Just Rec'd PB Black Hole what do you think is best way for application by machine(flex) or Hand ? If machine what pad CCs white or grey what speed to to work in? how long b4 you can top with PB sealant then Natty blue ?

I used it with a finishing pad and a PC. Using the flex I would use a finishing pad (grey) and one of the lowest speed settings. I believe you can top it with a sealant shortly after the glaze but you'll need to wait to add Natty's 24 hours after the sealant (EX, or Ex-P?).

machine as offered, no need to go full blast. Steve infact offered at DFIII that it is compatible with sealant or wax based upon users choice.

folks... resurrecting this thread because I ordered some and it's on the way. But after searching and reading, it seems like there's some questions/concerns on PROPER APPLICATION methods? Could experts on BH please chime and state HOW to properly apply and use BH?

I have read that it needs to be applied until you see a shine... is that almost like rubbing it in using a foam applicator? then buff off? And how is this going to be accomplished if I want to use a PC?

I'm no expert, but my experience is follow directions on the bottle. Apply thin, by hand or PC. I use a PC with a gray or blue pad on a low speed. After it hazes I wipe off with an MF.

You can top it right away with sealant or wax.

It's good stuff if you use it correctly. Speed 1 or 2 with the Flex 3401 and a gray pad. Do not work it in too much as you want it to "sit" on the paint. You can apply wax or a sealant right after buffing off the haze.

I used it with a gray pad, speed about 2-3 with my griot's.
Let it haze and remove with a mf

thanks for feedback.. I just received my PB BH today and hope to use it this weekend...

For those of you that have used it, is it worth it? If my surface is prepped properly, is there an advantage to applying BH versus going straight to a sealant/wax?

I apply speed 2 or 3 via black LC pad (5.5in).

I really like using it, it noticeably makes the paint slick and smooth to the touch, not to mention it darkens the color as well. I also like the fact that it fills in minor imperfections.

Do you just spread in one pass or go over multiple times? I used it just once and it seemed to dry out quickly even at speed 1 or 2.
