    Suggestions for Black Mustang

    I've searched the forums and see many opinions. I'm using Collinite 845 and really do like it, and I know if I like it, stick to it. But just curious, with reading all the other products that are supposed to be better for black, in all opinions, could my car shine any more with a different product, one specifically for black?? Keeping in mind, it is a 2006 year model.

    Thanks for all reply's.

    I mean if you like it, stick with it but Collinite #915 really adds to dark colors/black but you must apply it T H I N Suggestions for Black Mustang If you don't wanna go that route top your #845 with either Beadmaker or Duragloss AW as a part of your routine maintenance washesSuggestions for Black MustangSuggestions for Black Mustang

    •IMO:
    1.) Products specifically formulated for
    ‘black’ cars is a ruse.

    2.) Regardless the vehicle color...LSPs (Waxes,
    Sealants, Coatings) can only enhance the paint
    (make it shiny/shinier) to a certain point.

    3.) Further paint refinement—to squeeze
    out as much shine as possible—will come
    about more readily from polishing the paint
    to the nth degree—via: “burnishing”; or, as
    it’s called in the detailing realm: “jeweling
    the paint”.

    a.) This refinement can come from using
    polishes that are formulated using the finest
    of abrasives. To name a few, polishes like:

    •3M Perfect-It Ultrafine Machine Polish
    •Menzerna Super Finish Plus (SF-3800)
    •Pinnacle Souveran Jeweling Wax
    •McKee's 37 Jeweling Wax


    4.) Unless you’re a little impatient..
    I’ll suggest to wait until the next time that
    you are going to be applying a new layer/coat
    of the LSP of your choice...and give one of the
    above polishes a try.

    a.) Note: make sure you have a good pair of
    polarized-lensed sunglasses, and sun-screen
    lotion (UV-50+) on hand, if you plan on
    taking more selfies, after the jeweling’s done.

    Re: Suggestions for Black Mustang

    Coming from a purist Chevy guy, it is only a Mustang so just stick with what you know.....lol. Sorry had to he done. I am a newb, but listen to these guys. They know their $hi........stuff and totally steered my in the right direction with my Camaro. From what I got, wash, clay bar, Menzerna compound/polishes, oil wax remover, Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant topped with Pinnacle Crystal Mist. No Lie it takes days to complete, but the depth and gloss is unmatched. Did this process for the 1st time a couple weeks back for a car show and was just amazed. If you have a garage, the time and space - try it! Look up my post about the 68 camaro and see for yourself. All pics taken from a cell phone

    I got a black 16 and I know paints different. That being said the ceramic coating gave my car a look I have not achieved with wax. Looks glassy candy coated like.

    I used Car pros cquartz 3.0
