I ordered Chemicals guys Polish V32,34,36,38 Porter Cable DA CG assorted Pads 7 of them and their Backing Plate and I also ordered CG Black Light sealant and Black Wax.

The paint on my truck I don't believe it to be original but I am unsure, I had light swirl/spider webs from normal wear and tear and washing.

I washed the truck and then I moved it inside and used CG Green Pad and V36 Polish and did the entire truck except for the hood which was just painted about 2 Months ago. This product went on easy and seemed to remove all the swirls and webs and even most of the deep imperfections.

The next step was the Black Light Sealant which I put on using the PC and the Blue pad and this I did on the entire truck, after letting it sit for about a half HR I took it off and it came off very easy and left the truck looking really nice. It says you can do a second coat but I chose not to.

The next morning I used the CG Red pad and Black Wax which went on and came off easy, I used Meguires Wax on the rims and glass.The whole process went quite well and the truck looks really good in all types of Light and angles. The paint looks clear and deep and not even telling anyone just taking a ride to town a few different people said how good it looks.

The intial cost was a bit steep but I have enough product to do the vehicles many times, I have a Black Camaro Z28 and Black Honda also which Ill be doing at Some point also.

I have always done most of my work by hand which took a long time and was a lot of work, I am a car guy and I love a nice Black vehicle, I have always used off the shelf products but I must say the Extra money really is worth it for the CG Stuff, Not saying there isnt better but this is the best I have used so far.

V36 is a great product. Actually V36/V38 is a very underrated combo imo. V36 with an orange pad and V38 with a white hex logic pad finishes just as good as pretty much all the other top liquids.

V32 and V34 are a little harder to work with and not really my go to heavy cut compounds. They do smell nice though. The bottle tends to spit small bits of product everywhere if you don't squeeze it just right, and that tends to get annoying really quick lol

All the products I have used so far have been very easy to work with and they do smell great. 2 weeks later and truck still is looking good, I have not washed it yet but the dust and stuff doesn't seem to be sticking to it much.

Might be so...But we all know it was the
Meguiar's Wax that took the OP's truck
to the next level---the stratosphere, as
it were---of detailing satisfaction!!

CG BLACK will beat any Meg's wax any day, it's the best was for a black car hands down, and I know you never used it lol. Didn't the op say he only used Meg's was on the wheels?
