Do you know what tools, pads, and compounds he used? I just bought a Flex 3401 and I haven't used it yet. And my car is black. I would be happy so match those results. Tell him great job!

I'll have to ask him, I know they were bought at AutoGeek, the buffer was larger then PorterGable one he's has, the products were made by ex-owner McKee of the Company.

Black loves a thick carnuba. A good sealant underneath is always a winner. A good light polish goes a long way.

Turned out great!!!

Nice job indeed.

Ya I know black shows everything.

Autogeek and Chemical Guys both have an extensive video collection in which they'll show which pads and polishes to use to get these results. It really isn't hard at all...good luck!!
