Thank you for the feedback. I will try out the TSP when I get a chance.

I don't know what to say then. But it didn't seem to keep you from doing a good job on the car.

Since I highly doubt that paint is single stage, you are not looking at oxidation. Your pads are turning black because the paint is still dirty. This could happen from not completely cleaning the paint during the claying process. Another possibility which I think is more likely is that you did...

The title says it. What sort of cleaning chemical should I use? Has anyone done this?

You can polish right away but you need to wait 60 to 90 days before putting on any kind of protection because the paint needs to out-gas. Warmer weather will make this go faster. If you wax or seal it to soon, it can cause the paint to bubble.

Fantastic work as always. The next car you're working on is silver? You're joking right?

The problem with that "Phone" is that women will never answer it!
