Black hole & nattys blue

RyanE · 21st April 2012, 16:27

Ive Only done the bonnet, bumper and wings for now but came up rather well I thought. Paint needs a proper correction session really so excuse the stone chips etc, but this will do for now.

So I started with a quick wash with auto gym shampoo and a megs microfiber mitt.
Dried it off with a GTECHNIQ Zero Scratch Microfibre Drying Towel (which is awesome by the way!).
Then using a megs microfiber pad applied the black hole by hand. Worked it quite hard till it was almost gone then left for 15mins before buffing off. After that I put another layer of black hole over the top but was a bit more liberal and didn't work it so hard, again left for about 10mins before buffing off.
Then on with the nattys blue again by hand using a megs foam applicator pad. Left for about 5 mins then buffed off. Also gave the windscreen a few coats of GTECHNIQ G1 and gave the wheels a rinse using bilberry wheel cleaner.

Not a bad finish considering the condition of the paint. Pleased with the black hole, just need to find the time to do the rest of the car now.

Looking good mate especially done by hand. Poorboys blackhole is a really nice glaze to use before your lsp. Did you prep your windscreen properly before applying G1 ie glass cleaner, ipa wipe as this will make a big difference in its performance and longevity.

Pretty good finish..Nice reflections
TIP: Wait a good hour before you add another layer of BH..It needs an hour to cure or all you'll do is rub off the previous coat

Thanks for the tip re black hole, will remember that for when I do the rest of the car.

Yeah windscreen was prepped well as I've used the stuff on previous cars and the civic already had a single layer put on last week. I just added a couple more today
