Black is very special and should be treated as such, here's my suggestions for the brand new car and its first applications:

- thoroughly wash the car real good.

- clay bar, gotta do it as they sit on the lots for some time, especially our cars.

- Klasse All in One, one coat to clean/polish below the clearcoat.

- Klasse Sealant Glaze, followed by ONE more about 8 hrs later.

- Pinnacle "Souveran" after the second coat of SG.


Now I don't want it to sound like "Z" with all the steps like Diamond Jim spoke about and BTW Diamond Jim, your my hero for saying that as I couldn't agree with your more, especially when you spoke about the "cult" following. I'll take it as far as to say this, "what in the hell is in the Kool-Aid that Sal is serving, geez!?" Now if you like "Z", good for you, but all those steps, inbetween steps, etc is a bit much. I layer my products on as well, but then again, I'm obsessive. Anyways, once your done with my program, just use a quality quick detailer between waxes and your all set. Keep the black car clean, at least once a week, using the quick detailer after every wash or whenever you feel like it. As far as how often you need to wax it, well, I say this, do a major detailing in the early spring, a good coat in the middle of summer and another major detailing in the fall, especially if you drive your car during the winter, most people here don't but put it away clean. If there's any questions, feel free to PM me, I'm willing to help out anyone, check out my sig.
