I got a 2017 Black Sierra about a month ago. It had some water spots and slight swirling. I hit it with my PC 7424, orange pads and Menzerna MC2500. Really happy with the results. I put Wolfgang deep gloss sealant on it. Looks amazing. I still really like the WGDGPS. Easy to take off and seems to last. I've kinda been out of the game for about 5 years so the SIo2 stuff has me really intrigued.

I would recommend doing a clay and a 2 stage polish before you seal the paint. I know that thing has D.I.S. or dealer installed swirls. With black, unless you want to 2 stage polish the thing every 6 or 8 months, you should use a coating. Puts a tough shell on the paint that resists swirls better. Just a thought.

Good to hear about the Menzerna & pad combo. I was planning to try that in the spring.

I have a black Chevy Colorado. For winter I applied WDGPS, then Poorboy's Blackhole glaze, then a 2nd layer of DGPS, no paint correction. The Poorboy's glaze made everything a little blacker and deeper.

I agree with menzerna polishes. On Black I would maybe finish with 3500. I tried finishing with 2500 and it was still a little bit hazy. Most people wouldn’t notice but I’m a little crazy. Mine was bad enough to need 300 with a grey foam pro pad, 2500 with an orange, 3500 with and orange and then 3500 with a black in some spots to get it to a mirror although the 3500 with the orange pad finished out pretty good, the black pad came out crazy slick.

Optimum gloss coat on my 13 tuxedo black, did it last spring and I will say after the prep work it s easy to use and looks great.

Coat it, you won't be sorry you spent all that time and money coating it. It will make your job keeping up a black truck so much easier.
