Here are some pics of some black cars/trucks that I've detailed with varoius issues. No wetsanding done at all in any picture. Flex 3401 with Adams two step (sometimes three step) paint correction, clay bar, Brilliant Glaze, and Buttery, Americana, and Patriot wax used on various vehicles. Hope these help.
 
 

Huh, I think the Bissell does a great job. Here's a before and after shot using Adams carpet and Upholstery Cleaner, a brush, and a Bissell. Not that an extractor wouldnt be nice but for the money.......
 
 

Why are you using the rotary ? You should be able to eliminate the scratches without that step, really no need for it. Not sure what your using for a machine to remove scratches but here is some pics using a Flex 3401 without the use of any rotary buffer, using Adams compounds.

Did some detailing on my buddies1971 Pontiac Lemans Sport convertible that just went through an almost 3 year restoration. This car is one of only 8 made, 400, 4speed, vert, so needed to be careful as well !! There were the usual scratches from being moved around etc. , some wet sanding marks that needed some attention from the body guy, but being black, it was some work. Beautiful triple black, panels are straight as can be. Enjoy 
 
 

Does he need/want a 44 yr old grandson???

And the better part of the story, he is building something else as well and giving both of them to his two grandchildren, their 5 years old !! 

wow stunning work! great job with her. 

Sweet ride

Very nice detail!!

Brings back memories!  Great job!  Looks nearly showroom new!

How about this?  

good thing cause that's going to take a while !!

Dang, is the blue mirror paint an extra charge?!? 
 
Looks great! But it sounds great too....

Glad you're finally done, I'll be up next week with the Durango and the Grand Cherokee!!  No rush!

Ha Ha, no orange peel here. Actually there is some, there almost has to be a little or you wet sanded to deep in the clear.

Like a mirror Jimmy!  Great job! 

I posted in the Paint Correcting and Polishing part of the forum ( check out the before and after pics in that post), the wet sanding I had done on my Shelby GT500. I thought since I was done with it I would share some pics. Over 30 hours wet sanding, plus detail time to make it perfect before I put a coat of Brilliant Glaze and then a coat of Patriot wax on it. The wet sanding made the clarity and the depth in the paint outstanding, and then to really give it some pop, Brilliant glaze and Patriot wax was applied. All of the reflection pics are off the vehicle panels, not shot directly at the image !!
 

 

Hmmm... I hear its very nice in Colorado in the spring ! I'll pack my bags, sandpaper, my Flex and detailing bag, and I'm there. I'll clean that badboy up for ya, except for the engine bay that looks immaculate !   

Beautiful job on the wet-sand, Jimmy!  How do I sign-up for  you to do mine, which i consider to be good, but not great?!?

I am done wet sanding and now off to my painter for the rest of the paint work I'm doing ( more fun stuff being added !!) I will start a new thread when its back to show all the added pieces, wet sanding etc. Here's the only shot I took before it left to be finished. It looks 1000 times better than the factory finish. Will keep you updated.
