Just detailed my 2015 black C7 for the first time and noticed a few light scratches and scuffs. From shipping and dealers first wash. I was thinking about using a random orbital with 3M Perfect-It ultrafine then use my pinnacle souveran wax.
Any thoughts or recommendations?

Not familiar with the above polish but i get excellent results with a flex polisher and maguiars M105 f/b M205. Lake Country orange then white pad. Protect with Adams sealant.

I just went through this on my black '14 with 15,000 miles. I wanted to correct fine scratches from typical washes. Autogeek recommended menzerna SF 4500. Followed that up with chemical guys jetseal and blacklight.

As always, different strokes for different folks.

Great choice on the wax.

I believe that there are almost as many ways to detail your car as there are cars. As long as you are happy with the results, that's what counts. But the 2 products you list are both good. Personally I would use sealers, such as laid out in Glen e's detail thread.

Thanks for the post. I have a small scratch that I tried to get out with 205 and the Orange pad on a Griots DA with no luck (wishful thinking). I have some 105 now but have been a little nervous to use since I never used something that really cuts. I guess I'll give it a shot this weekend.

105 should do the job. Follow up with a finer polish.
Also a glaze for dark colors will fill the super small micro scratches for a brighter shine.
I've used this will great results.

If the clear coat used on the C7's are anything like the C6's, being very hard, extra time will be needed for correction. Just polish in small steps to get the "feel" how your product works for you.

Word of advice... get a little practice in with the RO first if you've never used one. Start with a small section on the car (even better if you have an old beater to practice on) at a time then critique results. Got a little ambitious and careless with mine first time out, but no permanent damage.

Hey Coop.. Whats a sealer and how does it work? Does it remove the fine scratches? Does it take the place of waxing or is it done before waxing? Thank you

Don't stress. I am averaging two blemishes per thousand miles on my C7. Unless you don't use the car and keeping it covered, what you have now is nothing to what awaits you by the time ten thousand miles rolls around. Enjoy!

This product works amazing on light scratches and blemishes. You can work out the imperfections by hand with a little time. It also won't cause new scratches.

Go to Adams Polishes premium car care .com and watch some of the videos they are very instructive!

Go back to autogeek.com and click on the waxes/sealants look for Blackfire BlackICE Montan Sealant Wax. ( for black cars ) These are hybred synthetic sealers that will last for several months instead of just one or 2 months. For lazy guys like me. They will give you a very nice shine and easier to apply as they are liquids.
There are several posts with good information, but I believe that a good polish followed by a good sealant is the way to go.
