Hi all ive spent ages looking on here and seeking advice for whats best to use on my car and i would like to firstly thank Mike and Sam-C for all their help on getting a noob detailing with the right gear

I spent 3 hours just on the paintwork as it was horrible with dirt and scratches and swirls everywhere

This came yesterday Very Happy
 


Look what was inside Very Happy
Poorboys Profesional Polish
Poorboys lack Hole
Poorboys Degreaser
Nattys Blue Wax
Application Pads
Microfibre Cloth
 


Here is the results, sorry for lack of pictures, thought id get some taken as it was getting dark and just started spitting

I must say though i was very dissapointed with the black hole as it did not hardly get rid of scratches or swirls! did make the car very shiny though

 

Bonnet
 

Roof
 

 

 

 


All comments would be great for a firstimer Very Happy im very happy with it. Just need to tackle the interior,wheels and engine bay tommorow

So will i need to detail after every wash or will the wax and polishes all stay on for a while?

Looks ace mate! great shine makes me want a black car again!

No you won't need to do it after every wash. Wax will stay on for a while up to you how often you top it up (or polish it off and put new wax on)

I can't wait to get my repairs all sorted then I can detail the car properly. Looks wicked - especially for a first go fella!

As for Black Hole, I'm a believer in getting rid of the swirls rather than filling them in anyway - get your elbow grease out! lol

If you do not try you will NEVER succeed!

Looks good, glad my advice came in useful Smile

Came up very shiny did you manage to clay it before this? You an get away with washing it every week basically as you'll feel the paintwork be very smooth and the dirt should come away very easily.

As or the BH, it's a filler as such, it won't remove any swirls, just fill in the marks and essentially 'hide' the marks.

looks good mate! Smile Mines needs a good going over...not looking forward to the spring when doing a good detail reveals a lot of nasty surprises.
