I have a 2012 Kona blue mustang that is garage kept,and not a daily driver. It has slight wash scratches and a few minor water spots. I have been using poorboys black hole and topping it with pinnacle souveran paste wax,ever since I have had it and doing it all by hand. I have recently purchased a Gg 6 and several lake country pads. I recently polished out my black Tacoma truck with Wolfgang uber aio which being my first correction turned out better than I thought I could get it. After getting the results I did I'm getting ready to tackle the mustang and I'm wanting to take it back to better than when it rolled off the line. So with that being said lets here some suggestions on products that would help get me there.

I use a GG6 on my Performance Blue Focus ST. FOR PRIDUCTS INUSE Wolfgang swirl remover, then Wolfgang finishing glaze, then Wolfgang deep gloss sealant 3.0. With great results. This is my hood

Well I was going to post some pics, but the defects are so slight it really doesn't show up, and the fact I can't figure out how to post pics yet.

Looks nice coopers, It just so happens I have some Wolfgang total swirl remover I bought when I bought the pinnacle wax, but just couldn't get any results with it using it by hand, but now I have the Gg 6 it could be a differnet story. Keep the suggestions coming. I been seeing a lot of people talking about blacklight and topping it with v7, but the description on the black light sounds similar to poorboys blackhole

That color will look great with any product you use. It really pops nicely. My sister in law has a Prius that is very similar. I use CG Blacklight on it with great results.

Start with the WG TSW. Then, to kick it up a notch go to a polishing step. This is a fine polish Pinnacle Advanced Finishing Polish (http://www.autogeek.net/best-car-finishing-polish.html) , as is CarPro Reflect, or even the new McKee's Fast Polish.

Skip the glaze, not needed. Top with Souveran. DONE! Skip the Chemical Guys products is my recommendation.

Of course make sure you have the right pads. Light cutting for the compound step, polishing pads for the polishing step.

I use CarPro reflect for my annual polish on my Kona Blue mustang. Finishes down great and takes care of the light swirls!

Thanks everyone. Thanks funx650 for the info. I tried the drop down search bar the other night and was having problems getting it to work, but today is working fine. Again thanks everyone.

BTW, the pre wax steps are more important than what you actually use in the end. Get the paint flawless with the compounding and polishing, and any topper will look awesome. I use Souveran on my San Marino Blue 350Z which is also a garage queen and it looks WET.
