Looks really good. I like black cars when they're brand new or someone else's. Just not willing to put in tons of work to keep black looking good and I have this habit of living in hot, sunny spots. You did an awesome job, much better than I ever could!

Thanks! I wasn't going to buy another black car, but narrowed it down to Graphite Shadow or Black Obsidian and it just happened to be this one that everything met my requirements.

very solid effort there. nothing quite like the satisfaction of seeing your own elbow grease paying off. i love the Klasse AIO, and the sealant is also very good. will you top with a wax, or just leave the sealant as top coat?

i see you've already swapped in the big Akebono break kit from the S trim. nice work. now, get rid of the chrome trunk lip and swap in the sport trunk lip!

Yeah, I did clay, then polish, then wax, the polishing part is proabbly the most time consuming, but as you see, result is great!

Rr1982- wow man that is frigging nice. i can attest to the BO color, nice when clean , but getting it there can be a pain. Anyway, mine looks like spiders nest at certain angles due to the web like looking swirls etc ...so gonna give this a shot at some point but curious whether or not your car has the self healing paint and if so, did you have any issues with that? at least that's something i have read about the 11 year and difficulty correcting swirl mars etc, and I am no pro by any stretch of imagination, so guessing it would be tough. anyway, that is really a nice job and your car looks damn good

Thanks! Yes I have the scratch healing paint and I did some research and found the menzerna 3500 will get rid of your Holograms if you use the right pad with a da. But you must watch it well and clay bar the whole car first
