Looking for specific recommendations

Hi All,



I recently jumped on the OCD express and bought a black car. It's a 2003 Ford SVT Cobra (10th Anniversary edition) with only 12,000 miles. Although the paint is in very good condition, it does have some swirls and some possible light buffer trails.



I'm concerned that my previous technique -- on a bright red Mustang -- will not be sufficient on a black one. I previously used clay, (and occasionally Sonus SFX2) followed by KAIO and topped with either P21S or Collonite 845. The results were spectacular, but it was much more difficult to see swirls and defects on bright red than it will be with black.



So I'm looking for some advice on which products work best for correcting swirls on Ford Black clearcoat in the hands of a fairly inexperienced detailer with a PC 7424.

If anyone -- especially with experience with Ford paint -- can give me a basic "shopping list" of products and pads, I would really appreciate it -- I'm just totally overwhelmed by the massive number of products to choose from. And I don't want to do anything bad to my new pride and joy.



Thanks in advance.

Here's a pic by the way.

i use a 7424 wit the pb's line on my redfire mustang. it works out pretty good. 2.5 has been able to correct anything in my clear so far.





nice cobra. is anything done to it?
 
I would think treating them the same should be a winner.

But this weekend was my first time using a PC I removed all the swirls on my white 94 Mark VIII, well not the roof due to PC issues. But I used Prima swirl with an orange pad on the hood and a white pad on the trunk and sides. First time using a polish and PC and I think the car came out great.
 
Excellent -- I'll continue with the same regimen and see how it works.

Thanks



8Banger -- It has a Magnaflow exhaust and BBK Intake. Other than that's it's still virgin. Hasn't even been pullied. I'm going to replace the BBK with a K&N or JLT and I'm putting in an MGW shifter. I'm leaning towards keeping the stock pulley, as it will retain better value that way. But we'll see -- right now the power it has is pretty thrilling, but I might do a mild pulley and tune setup and shoot for 450rwhp.
