Black Hole is a nice product. It adds some depth and wetness to the paint. Also, as is the case with most PB products, application and removal is a snap.

What sealant and LSP did you use? I also got a bottle of Danase Wet Glaze. Think I should throw that into the mix?

(Sorry, dont mean to hijack this thread.)
No hijack. This is why I post these threads.

I'd say I probably had 8+ hours in on this one. Do yourself a favor and get some EX-P. It's a pure sealant with a short cure time.

Between the PB glazes and DWG I'd say you'd have a hard time telling the difference. Application and removal are similar, and the results are similar. Very good products.

How long do you think the cure time is for EX-P? I'll be using it in my next detail.

It looks amazing, Black Hole really does bring depth of the paint out.

I know its off topic but what did you use to dress all the trim cause it looks amazing.

Its not hd is it?

The exterior trim got PBs Trim Restorer. It does a nice job, but I think this truck is gonna need something a little more serious next time.

i used pretty much what you did and still didn't remove all the swirls.

ssr2.5 + orange
ssr1 + green
PP + white
BH + black
EXP + blue
nattys blue by hand

i kept working sections until the product seemed to turn translucent and minor dusting was present. speed on the DA for the corrective steps was 4.5. any tips?

trucks looks great, btw.

looks great man! I think RR and I did pretty much the same line up on my truck. Maybe a few adjustments and it turned out wonderful. I need to get a good detail on it again before I head back to Lubbock. Great work!
