Don't say that now ive bought it all! :grin:
I used the black hole on another black car on the drive and i thought it brought it up real nice.Filled the swirls in nicely.I know mine wont have any swirls but i was going on advice off here and on detailing world.

I used to be a sponge and chamois man unless it was on the 300zx,as i used to take that to be valeted properly.

I keep trying to google jet seal but google says no lol :grin:

i rock the autoglm gel, lots of coats but i buff with a lint free cloth after aplication.

for any metal bits i use autosol.. for glass i use autoglym glass polish with blue label

you dont need all the stuff you got mate, some tw4t has told u to get stuff u wont need and
remember the less u touch the paint the better, i use a dodo juice drying towel and dab it dry.. thisn is the extent i go to to keep the swirls at bay

less you touch that finish the better....

Ive read about the dabbing with the towel,as you know with it being black they are easy to see swirl marks.I just wanted to give it the best protection i could so i bought a sh!t load of stuff :grin:
Make one of my shelves in the garage look expensive i guess :embarassed:

It was worth the money just for the smells :grin:

I would check with the sprayer but you will / may need to let the paint harden for at least 6 weeks 1st.

I have looked into it a lot and it varies per person.He says it will be baked very well and the paint will stop out gassing in 2 weeks or less and i can attack it after then.
I will leave it 3 or so weeks before i have a play i think. :smiley:

Might be best to have a word with Thom on here as he works in the trade I believe.
