[QUOTE="coolcobramatt, post: 14307919, member: 25801"] It's PORTER Cable not Port-a-Cable lol. OP...get a quality non -otc (over the counter) wax with ZERO cleaners. Forget hand rubbing, invest in a 7424 if you are a hobbyist, go bigger with a Flex or Rupes if you use it frequently. On a black car, a buffer is a must have as is a good swirl remover such as Pinnacle Ultimate, Wolfgang Uber Compound, etc. I like CarPro Reflect as a micro finiishing glaze but others are good too. An orange pad for deeper swirls, a white/grey for finishing, and a red or blue for waxing. I am not an Adam's fan as I feel they are like Griot's in that they rebrand other manufacturer's products. Chemical Guy's is another one that rebrands. Nothing wrong with it but why pay more for a middle man markup? Here is the video I learned immensely from and it gives the basic techniques needed for success: [url]http://www.autogeek.net/video-porter.html[/url] Once you see the depth a PC and quality product can give your black, you won't ever hand polish again. Oh yes, if it truly hasn't been washed in 3 years, I want to see pics. You will also most likely want to clay bar it before anything else if that's true. I have to see that to believe it though!
