Who wants to recommend a 1 2 or 3 step correction on new black Nissan?

**ccapital83** · 07-23-2019, 10:20 AM

Got a brand new 2019 Nissan super black paint color. I have been overthinking this because the paint is actually in excellent shape aside from a few bad scuffs. I have all the time in the world so I guess I lean more towards going crazy and making this the best I've ever done. I know the go to is m105 and m205 but I'm thinking it might be overkill and I want to use some products with long work times and less dusting. I also like the idea of trying some new stuff I have 2 new sets of chemical guys hex logic pads so I'll be using them since they are new and I have them so I want to pair them with some awesome products. Should I still compound then polish if the paint has no swirls? it seems to be pretty flat and I don't even see orange peel. I feel like maybe just use a real good polish? I was thinking a few things you can let me know what you think or recommend some things you like for black soft paint to

thanks for any ideas or opinions

here are some things I have on my list......

Meguairs d300 series compound polish and wax

hd speed

Sonax Profiline perfect finish

Jescar correcting compound

chemical Guys v36/v38

I wouldn't be compounding brand new paint especially if it's not swirled/scratched up.

My favorite from your list is Sonax Perfect Finish.

HD Speed would be my close second.

Even though your car/paint is new - you should still decontaminate the paint. You will be surprised what you pull off it. Consider this approach:

1. Wash
2. Chemical decontamination
3. Second wash
4 mechanical decontamination - clay or mitt
5. One step (Product of your choice) or a jeweling product like Pinnacle Jeweling was or Griot’s perfecting cream
6. LSP of your choice - sealant, wax or coating. Keep in mind if coating you will need a paint cleaning/prep step before.
7. Treat glass, wheels, tires and interior protectant esp. on seats

Compound on soft paint that is new and almost blemish free is just an exercise in unnecessary paint removal.

only reason I was considering compound was although new car it still sat outside in the weather and sun for months with zero protection but ill take everyones advise maybe just do a polish and yes I will absolutely be claying first

sorry I should have explained more detail all also upload image of car later of what im stating with

Two things..test spot and least aggressive first.

Sonax Perfect Finish + LSP and call it a day.

It’s the early game. No need to go crazy.

Brand new paint is most likely already swirled up..

What I recommend, is get an LED light and check panels to see the finish..then if their are swirls, perform a Test spot.

Always least aggressive and work way up till you get the results you're after.

HDO pads of every color and Gyeon compound and polish for something simple to recommend if you need to actually move forward to paint correct
