Hi, I'm from Sydney Australia. I just purchased my ute a few months ago and now I'm about to do a full paint correction and detail. Its a Ford BF XR8 Ute in Silhouette. I have already purchased some products. Here's a list, CG Maxi Suds II CG Citrus Wash & Gloss CG Green Clean CG Heavy Duty Degreaser CG Wheel Wax CG Wash Pads CG Microfibre Rejuvenator Wash CG Fast Dry Waffle Weave Towel 303 Aerospace Protectant Einszett Gummi Pflege Grit Guard Wash Bucket and Lid to suit Grit Guard Aquatouch Microfibre Applicator Pads DAS-6 Dual Action Polishing Machine with CCS Pads and Menzerna Swirl Removers. Clay Magic Kit Mint AB Snow Foam Lance (Karcher) Dodo Juice Lime Prime Dodo Juice Purple Haze I did a quick wash today just of the wheels and body. Hopefully I will receive the DAS-6 Dual Action Polishing Machine with CCS Pads and Menzerna Swirl Removers soon and start correcting next weekend... I already know how hard black is to maintain. Here's a few pics of my beast...

Nice looking ute mate! Yup black is a very difficult color to keep clean, swirl and scratch free...... Been a way from Oz a long time, what V8 are they using these days?
Sweet ride you have there . Welcome to the group. As a black car owner.I agree it is a pain . But it is still one of the most rewarding colors when maintained. The main key is touch as leittle as possible. Such as I only wipe down with detail spray after a wash not between. If I have to touch it I just wash it plain and simple. Enjoy the new ride. Looking forward to more shots of it.
Hi, Today I started the paint correction on my car. I started with a foam wash of CG Maxi Suds in my foam lance. While that that was foaming I sprayed my wheels with CG WHEEL+RIM CLEANER ORANGE GEL. I then high pressure washed the whole vehicle. I then mixed some Maxi Suds and CW&G and washed the whole car with a MF Mitt. Then high pressure washed all the suds off, then I towel dried the whole car with a HUGE SUV SIZE FAST DRY WAFFLE WEAVE Microfiber Drying Towel, these towels are great I have a few of them. Once the whole car was dry I drove it into my garage and started claying. Then I tackled it with my DAS-6 Dual Action Polishing Machine. First I used Menzerna Intensive Polish PO 91L on an orange Lake Country 6.5" polishing pad. I then followed that with Menzerna Final Polish PO85U with a white Lake Country 6.5" polishing pad. I went around the vehicle one more time with a black Lake Country 6.5" polishing pad and DoDo Juice Lime Prime. Buy this stage the car was looking great, and I was very happy with my results. I then apllied DoDo Juice Purple Haze by hand over the complete vehicle, once that hazed I removed it with an ELITE ULTRA-PLUSH SUPER PREMIUM MICROFIBRE CLOTH. I then drove the vehicle back outside for a wash and was blown away by what I had achieved. It basically took me all day to do the correction. I took a few pics today, I will put more up tomorrow. It was dark by the time I'd finished so I never got any final results. I have some more products coming thru the week.

Hi Guys, I took some more pics today. It looks very good in the sun. I can't say the same about that pot plant but, lol.
Haha, Thx Domino. It was your influence that convinced me that I should detail my car. I couldn't be more happier. I just took some better pictures of my car, I will post them soon. Cheers
Hi, Today I applied BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond, All Finish Paint Protection. Followed by Victoria Concours Wax. The results were outstanding.
Nice work :worship2:, what pressure washer is that?....Get the dent pulled on the passenger door and you'd be set.
Karcher pressure washer, LoL that's the drivers door, I'm in Australia ( right hand drive ). Yes I'm getting the dent pdr'd soon. Thx
