Do yourself a favor and get yourself a porter cable buffer. I watched a 1 hour video on how to use it along with the exact same products used in the video and I got the same results.

You dont need to be a pro to use it and its really hard to mess up your paint job using it. I am the worlds WORST handi man but after the first couple attemps at buffing (learning what pad to use and what product to use) all my buddies want me to clean up their car.

I even did my buddies black CLK 500 and it looks awesome.

 

With a black vehicle you are going to want to detail it every 3-4 months to keep it in the condition you want it. You would be better off making the investment into a PC or Flex machine and the products you will need to do the job. Your first detail will probably need to be a medium polishing compound, finishing/light polishing compound, a sealant and quality wax. Let the sealant and wax cure for about eight hours inbetween each layer and put two layers of each. After the intial detail you should be able to get by with just the lighter polish, sealant and wax. My PC was probably the best investment I made in terms of car care.

I went through a ton of store bought crap and a few lower end boutique products, but the truth is you will save money by just going with the good stuff from the get-go.

Try the Menzerna Intensive Polish, Finishing Polish, and FMJ with Natty's Wax or something more premium like the P21S 100% Carnauba Wax of 50/50. The PC might be a good choice for a beginner along with the cutting and finishing pads. Add some microfiber applicators and towels and you are good to go for a couple years.

I'm also in S.D. and have a black G35 that needs a full detail. I went by Syndicate Automotive (http://www.syndicateauto.com/) They quoted me for a full detail under $200. We should both schedule and see if we can save some $.

 

The one hour video came with the PC? If not where did you get it?

 

Great info dude! Thanks a million i will definitely be buying a PC 7424 ASAP.

 

Check out the Jet Seal 109 as an alternate to the FMJ, a lot of people seem to prefer it's durability over the shine of FMJ.

 

Sounds good but what do you think about Zaino products??

 

Zaino does give a great shine and gloss. I have used it in the past and was happy with the results, but you can honestly get as good of a finish with less effort and expense. Plus Zaino is a pure polish and does not offer any protection for your paint. Everyone has their preferences, some will swear by Zaino, Zymbol, Meguiars, Pinnacle, etc... but it all comes down to personal preference in terms of the finished look and ease of use. I am detailing a blue jeep and white 5 series this weekend and will try to get some pictures up for you. I live down in Imperial Valley, but cruise up to SD often. If you need help with your first detail hit me up via pm.

 

Cool deal man, thanks so much for the info. I will definitely do the other products you rec. I will take your word for it. =) Ill PM with q's if anything! Thanks again!
