What are you using to "buff" out? DA? Rotary?
Not really a fan of glazes sinze you will not be doing any paint correction..... but does not sound bad for a start...

foam pad and my arms !

[LincolnZephyr2006]

Oh, wow. You are putting quite a bit of elbow grease in there. I would consider a mahcine polisher of some sort... or maybe in your case, a DA polisher and some polishes to permanantley remove swirls instead of using a glaze to "hide" the imperfections. Just don't want you putting all that elbow grease in and starting another thread asking why your products did not work after it rained!

The PWS will remove the Black hole, This is Polish With Sealant. I think what you want is EXP it is a pure sealant, or EX which is a sealant with a bit of carnauba in it. Either will work but the EX will be easiest to work with. The EXP will Provide a tad bit more durability but is tougher to apply thin making it harder to remove.

[tuscarora dave]

If you already placed your order just give Steve or Pockets a call or send him a PM this evening. I am sure he will be glad to switch the PWS out for some EXP or EX. The number there is 845-215-9700

Oh I guess you will be ordering that stuff from AG, They too will work with you in any way to keep you happy. Any of the sponsors here will. These are fantastic customer service oriented companies.

add some Dodo Wax ... Hard Candy perhaps. (smiling)

I didn't realize that - not overly familiar really with all the PBW polishes/sealants. Good call Dave.

Those are great prodcuts, I love the poorboy's stuff. But you should not use glaze prior to polish. PWS being sort of an AIO it will clean up your paint and protect it at the same time. Glaze is great when doing a multi-step process, not when using a AIO.

A polisher ( rotary or DA) would be a great investment as well. I have great respect for guys who achieve show car results by hand but I'm way too lazy to use anything else than my rotary. lol

They are my favorite product line I have nearly all his products. they do very nice things to a car.

[01AUDI]

forgot to ask.. can i use these pads for applying the Black Hole and the EX (by hand)?
Lake country ccs applicators, wax applicator, sealant applicator (http://www.autogeek.net/red-ccs-applicators.html)

*edit*
I know they can be used by hand, but i know people are picky about applicator pads and for my red car using these products, does it matter or not ?

[DLB]

Those would be fine...
Or you can use some of these:
Autogeek Foam Applicators 6 Pack, Red wax pads, hand wax, polish applicators (http://www.autogeek.net/autogeek-foam-pads-6.html)

I prefer the Wolfgang ones like that because they are orange...They are also available in Blue with the Pinnacle Logo.
