Re: paint correction from bhp show
ok well to be honest to get a great finish its all in the prep work ie claying polishing an finishing down also it depends on car colour etc but i do find that poorboys black hole for dark coloured cars is very good it contains loads of fillers an will cover some swirls if worked properly then any of the dodo juice waxes are great but again they do different waxes for different colours an to be honest do you want shine or durability ????
heres my misses focus with black hole on an dodo juice supernatural wax i did not clay or polish this just washed http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...naturaled1.jpg and you cant beat a beading shot http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r.../snbeading.jpg |
Re: paint correction from bhp show
That again is a great job - can't believe the reflection.
This is probably the way I'd go as 18 hours cleaning my car may not go down too well :wife: although I'd like to the clay polishing. Where do you get the black hole on an dodo juice supernatural wax? |
