You don't know what you're getting in to volunteering to do a black car :?

I have 2 black vehicles at my house, and it's enough that I don't want to do anybody else's black cars! :lol:

Heck I don't even do my own black car and I have a good buffer with a all goods and about any kind of polish or wax you could want or need. Not saying I don't do a good job but I just don't like taking babying the black to keep it looking clean and Streek free. :lol:

For black you are going to want these.

I usally run my buffer at or around 1,400-1,600 RPM

All of these are just taken off Google search just so you can see what prices you are looking at and can get numbers off of them and check with any auto parts store should be able to get this stuff.

This Glaze/Compound

With this buffing pad

To get a better buff job done though use the step process.

For deep scratchs start with Step one for "wash" scratchs start with step two

Step 1 Buff pad http://www.amazon.com/Superbuff-Iii-Plu ... B000OYS0CC

Step 1 Compound http://www.repaintsupply.com/pd_05973.cfm

Step 2 Buff pad http://www.toolrage.com/prodview.asp?sku=3M-5738

Step 2 Compound http://compare.ebay.com/like/2005886568 ... 602_309572

Step 3 Buff pad http://store.dejavujewelry.com/tlw-mmm05733.html

For polish I like Klasse 8) http://www.amazon.com/Klasse-All-One-33 ... B0002LBKF6

FYI one of the best buffer IMO is this.

All these steps will make you black car look like this.
