Blackhole is a glaze and will fill minor swirls. It gives a nice finish. Top with a decent wax and you're good to go.

Strictly speaking you'd be better off correcting the paint instead of hiding defects but each to their own.

Thanks guys, funny you should say that bodski as I text my mate last night to see if he was free to detail it so it's getting done early next month. When you mentioned a good wax, what would you recommend?

On a black car I'd personally go down the Blackfire Midnight Sun if you're looking for a wax. If not and if you're willing to try a sealant not a wax then Sonax Polymer Netshield looks stunning on black

100% agree with Bodski, I took his advice for my graphite hatch and the results were very impressive. No more expensive waxing for me now as Sonax LSP it the muts

All good mate. Safer than using a pressure washer. I've done a fair few imprezas with steam and the results are always good.

Ideally you'd want to protect all the plastic parts afterwards with something like 303 aerospace protectant

No need to disconnect the battery. Some leave the engine running but if I'm using steam I don't bother personally. If I was using a pressure washer I would.

Gtechniq G1 on all windows and windscreen (3 coats on windscreen 1 on windows)
