I just called my 2012 Carbon Flash Corvette, then applied Pinnaclw Cleansing Lotion , then one application of Pinnacle souveran .

I am a believer . Considering the color of my car should Inhave used another polish before the Pinnacle souveran? Thanks in advance for your help.

If you got good results with what you did than I say you did fine with the products you used. There are tons of products out there and you are going to find a lot of people with their own opinion on what works best. But it is your car, you are doing the work and if you are happy, don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.

Black is a pain but so worth it after a good detail. The only step I would recommend is clay barring. Prep work is the key when it comes to detailing.

Polishing is abrasive and removes swirls and marring. If the paint is in great condition you can use a paint cleansing lotion and then onto the wax. If your finish needs some correction, then polish instead of the cleaning lotion. You don't really need both ....
