I did a strip wash with Dawn
Mothers Clay IronX Menzerna FG400, then SF4500 Chemical Guys Blacklight (Amazing product) Menzerna Power Lock - 2 coats Blackfire Midnight Sun PC and Lake Country flat pads DI microfiber towels (starter pack) plus a few more. Good quality MF towels make a huge difference.

mostly shiny, there are some small clear coat scratches in your pics. Were you pointing them out OR was it by accident? "pictures 3 and 4"

alv927-those are the before pics I was pointing the scratches out. the pic right after shows the one nearly gone. I would say I got about 90% correction and know I will do better next time.

It's been an hour. It's already dirty now!
Great job, OP. Black is an amazing color when it's clean. |
