Default Best correction for blacks

I was thinking of trying your jeffs acrylic strong, but i do remember you suggesting menzerna intensive polish then top it off with some blackfire wd.

I have collinite 915 for a wax which i find very good, works well on blacks.

Id like you have your opinion and suggestions before i hit the buy button.


Thanks

don’t think you will be able to do any correction with JEFFS Werkstatt Prime Strong as its more of a paint cleaner than a real polish…… very good for using on your windows and wheels tho…. Blackfire Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection is great stuff gives great reflection and that wet look….. There wax is very good

Well the scratches aren't actually that bad, she's just in need of a good wash n polish more than anything.

I'll probably buy the menzera intensive polish another time, i was really itching to compare the blackfire to auto glyms ultra deep shine which is fantastic on blacks, if it can beat that then it must be special.

I already have collinite 915 for wax which again is excellent, i hope pb start stocking chemical guys, i like the look of their wax and lemon gloss shampoos.

Windows and wheels eh, fair gredit to my rota boosts, 1 year old and still looking as good the day they arrived, im paranoid about kerbing the things, id be gutted.

No problem, soon as i get a decent spell i'll have a go at her, been such a while she deserves it.

Besides i got the old man a cracking camera so some updated pics won't go amiss.

From what ive heard prime strong can take out minor swirls which is what she mainly has from a previous owner using a drive in car wash ugh.

I came very close to buying some dodo supernatural today but im not sure if i can justify it so im still mulling it over.

by hand or using a PC.... best of luck but it will be very hard going ... think it will fill rather than remove any swirls

I'd be surprised if Prime Strong does anything in terms of correction on your hard paint; it is more of a strong cleaner, so will bring up a hell of a shine but without correcting much (if anything). Intensive Polish is the route to try for correction, but again, if the defects have arisen from car washes then in all honesty a machine polish may be required, as they could be pretty deep. All is not lost though, as Prime Strong is one of those products that has many great uses; glass sealant, wheel sealant, tarnish remover for metals, etc - we use it daily in our studio for many tasks.
