So having a black car everyone knows is a PITFA. After 4 days of m105, and m205 and a final coat of black ice wax here is the final product. I probably had over 35 hours in it total, but I wanted every little mark and swirl out of the paint and each area I treated differently. I don't have a lot of before pics but here is the final result.

Products used:

pc 7414 xp
m105
m205
blackfire black ice wax
pads: ccs orange, white, blue, red, some areas I had to use a yellow pad (spoiler and hood scoop)
gary deans detail juice



before (pretty much what the whole car looked like)

I think its alright. Nothing special like everyone says. Im not a pro detailer though. Not worth the $75. Meguiers carnauba works just as good imo. After 5 washes it's not beading as much water as it first did. I try to touch the car as little as possible and even with the leaf blower water is starting to stick which is causing me to touch it which I dont like to do now to keep swirls away. Especially during the drying process.
