I would like to know what products are best for single stage paints and especially a soft single stage black paint. I have gone through several different brands some of which were decent, and others that I would never put on the car again. I would appreciate anyone's thoughts on this and the product and application process they used doing it.

Thanks

 

As for polish, you cannot go wrong with Menzerna. Depending on the condition, Power Finish should do the trick with a white CCS pad. If there are heavy swirls and scratches, you'll need Super Intensive and Super Finish with Purple or Yellow pad, followed by super intensive with orange pad, then super finish with black pad.

As for wax, completely up to you. If you want lots of shine and gloss, not so much depth, go with a sealant like Rejex or Sonax Liquid Wax. If you want depth, shine, and richness, can't beat P21S 100% carnauba.

Hope this helps. Great question and thanks for posting!

OPT Optimum Hyper Polish, OPT Microfibre pads, speed #4 on a PC random orbital polisher

Good advice!

 

I use Meguiars 105 & 205 on the single stage white on my 560SL. [well, not so much 105 any more - most all of the swirls & RIDS are gone] I use a combo of their #26 wax topped with their NXT 2.0 sealant. Great stuff and easy to use. DEEEEP shine and good protection.

[that said, MB white is much harder than Porsche black, so I guess it's all relative - good luck on finding what works the best for you!]

 

I am new to detailing but I am looking for a good wax for my black porsche. Definitely need something that provides that deep shine and gloss; that glassy watery look. Any recommendations?

 

Get p21s 100%...one of the most underrated waxes you can get for the money.

Great depth and shine, easy to use, and provides great protection too.

We have it available and shipping is free and make sure to use 6speed as your promo code to save 10%.

Also, make sure to clay and polish before the wax...it's the most important steps to a proper foundation for proper waxing.

 

As Moe mentioned, prep is key. Waxes/ sealants add little to the final appearance of a properly polished finish.
