Hello everyone! I have been lurking for awhile on a couple of boards and I have finally decided to join and post a little. I have been detailing on the side since I was 13 years old, but I am still learning something new each day.
Now for a little help. I have a good amount of experience with the Ultimate Detailing Machine, but I am about to embark on a new project. My wife and I just picked up a used 2007 Cadillac Escalade...black of course. The paint reflects pretty well, but under lights you can see the swirls. It also looks as if someone used a large rv brush to wash the outside because you can see the small hairline scratches. Now, I have a couple of Poorboy's products in my shop (SSR 1, SSR 2, SSR 2.5, and SSR 3) and would just like to know where to start, since I have never tried anything like this on black, or for that matter is black paint different that polishing dark grey or blue (which I have done). I would just like any information that would help me to do a great job and have this thing looking brand new again. Also, are there any products that are better than the Poorboys that I already have, that would get me better results or am I ok with what I have (Poorboys stuff has always been a great product for me). Any help I can get will surely be appreciated and hopefully I can be of assistance to some of you someday. Thanks again in advance.
