So im kinda new to detailng: black truck questions

So im kinda new to this site and i have a 08 chevy silverado:

I am trying to figure out what products i should be using to keep this baby lookin clean?? Do you guys recommend any type of was or swirl remover? I want to get this like some of the other black cars that i have seen on this site.

 

Megs 205, 3M ultrafine to name a couple. Always start with the least aggresive pad & polish needed to get the job done.

 

I agree with starting with the least agressive polish. Power finish might be a good starter polish for you.

An excellent wax for black paint is Zymol Glasur. A little pricey for you right now, but awesome on black!!

 

thanks for the suggestions guys

 

Thats a sexy ass silverado... welcome

 

Welcome to DB? Nice truck and a really nice entrance.

 

I think you're gonna want the easiest wax you can find that still offers a great look. That's a lot of surface area. Nice truck and welcome!

 

2 pots of Pinnacle Souveran for 100 bucks at We Are Car Care -- Car Wax, Car Polish, Auto Detailing Supplies, Car Buffers & Car Accessories Store right now. You'd really like that on your black paint.

 

I'd recommend a carnauba based AIO (like Maguiars D-151) to get you started.

It's a one-step product (clean, polish, protect), very easy to use, and it will remove swirls instead of covering them up.

You could probably finish your whole truck by hand in about 2 hours :afro:

 

Oh, and Nice truck, btw.

 

I think you should paint the front grille black as well. Like so... http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3043746
