I got an Obsidian Black SLK too and in case you got some light to moderate swirls and scratches Menzerna SIP and 106FA is a really good choice and you cant go wrong with menzerna.
In case you really want a superior finish follow up with Menzerna 85rd with Blue pad.

Wolfgang is also a great option for you. Products are simple, straight forward, and easy to use, and your red sled will look killer. After wash and clay use Total Swirl Remover, then Finishing glaze 3.0, wrap it up with Deep Gloss sealant. If you have some extra change get some Fuzion to polish it off, you will love it. Good luck, and share some pics when you finish.

well here is the car i detailed .it came out very nice but i know i can still do alot better on the paint.i used the sip with the pc7424 and some 6.5 meguires 8006 pads .i know now the pads were to big to do total paint correction.when you guys use the pc does the paint get warm to your touch?and also look at my pad ,what happened ?old, press to hard?i did notice on some scratches the sip would remove them but with alot of firm pressure .i will try smaller pads 5.5 lc white pads next time.

thanks

Awesome job! The car came out looking spectacular. After working one 2x2 area, the paint should feel warm to the touch. That is from the pad rubbing against the paint and is nothing to worry about when using the Porter Cable. When using a high-rpm rotary machine, heat can become an issue, but the Porter Cable does not work fast enough to cause any damage from heat.
