2002 Pontiac WS6 TransAm. Probably the best black paint I've seen to work on. Was swirled and hazed from the owners obsessive waxing routine, but hey at least he's trying to keep it looking good.



Anyways, I'll have some better pictures on sunday when we go out for a cruise, but there are them for now. No swirlies at all.



Process:



Optimum Compound via PC and cutting pad

optimum Polishg via polishing pad

SSR1 via pc and polishing pad

Automagic Wet Wax



The results:

Wow that black in the first pic looks like its ready to drip off :cool:



Very good job on the paint. How did you like the OC via PC?
 
WOW - that looks great. :bigups



How do you like the Optimum products.

I hope to order some in the next couple of days.



Is the SSR 1 a "finsh" like Werkstatt "Prime" as a cleaner prior to a sealant or wax.



Thanks.

Oh man, the owner was just floored with the results. Many shops around the city recommended a repaint on the car :soscared:



I liked it. I almost think it works better on black with the PC than the rotary. I think I just need more practise with the rotary. :)

I'm pretty sure that SSR1 doesn't have almost any cutting ability. Its a great finishing polish that removes any haze thats present on the paint. I love it on black, but never seemed to do it. After seeing these results, I will more often. :)

Just wait till you see it outside when there is actually some daylight left. :drool:

Excellent work Steve-a little suprised to see you use the PC instead of a rotary though. Any reason in particular?

Because that owner is very very picky, and I didn't want to run the risk of anything.
