The way black paint should look

This is a return customer. Last time I detailed this truck I used Poli-Seal, this time it got a little more serious work.

The products used. Also used PBs ProPolish, but somehow it didn't make it into the pic:

Gorgeous. I swear, I'm going to just say screw the pain and do some detailing. I'm dying to get out there and try my new stuff. What do you think of the SSRs compared to Meguiars stuff like #80?

You hardly ever see a black f150 kept in pristine condition, but you did an excellent job my friend.
Keep up the good work.

I'm not hwm3 but I've got both so I'll help out. To put it simply, I love them both !! I use both of them before my sealant and LSP. I just used White Diamond on my girlfriend's Satin Silver S197. Silver, especially the light ones, are really hard to make look wet and pop. White Diamond makes it happen !! I highly recommend both of them.

How long did it take you to detail that truck?

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