I was curious if I could get some advice on a selection of products for a 2008 Shelby GT500. My car is black and has it's fair share of swirls. I've been doing some research online and I've decided on going with a selection from Poorboys. I don't have access to a porter cable anytime soon, so I was wondering if going with a glaze and a good sealant would be sufficient until I can get my hands on a porter cable to handle some on the swirls..Also my car is a daily driver and rarely garaged so I know that swirls are inevitable, so it would be nice to have some products that would make the car look good, instead of having to do paint correction all the time. This is the selection I was thinking for now.

Poorboys Black Hole Glaze, topped with EX and then maybe some Natty blue for extra shine. I figured this would at least "hide" some of the swirls, and still give me some decent protection...I plan on eventually hitting the car with some SSR 2.5 and SSR 1 with the PC.. I appreciate any input or advice.. Also, I've been reading that if the car has light swirls that using SSR 2.5 with a white polishing pad might be sufficient enought to go straight to a sealant or wax, is this possible?
 
Sounds like you have gotten good info, but if it was my black car, I would put Souveran on that baby! Souveran looks great on black but on a Shelby, well that is just too perfect!
We will want to see pictures of course! :D
 
and if you're not already, learn to be a little more particular for your wash process. stay away from gas station car washes and any tunnel wash. Do it yourself and do it proper. an 08 loaded with swirl marks isn't the result of daily driving and parking outside, it's the result of improper wash techniques. Then when you DO get a porter cable, you'll only have to use it on your Mustang 1-2 times a year.

Sounds like you got a good choice of stuff to use and yes, a glaze will help hide some of those swirls.
 
Totally understand, I do pay more attention to how I wash the car now. I guess what I meant to say was since my car is black, that it will be difficult to keep the car perfect 100% of the time. With that in mind, I figured a glaze would be good to do instead of the polishing step.
 
IMHO on black its tuff to beat a glaze,EX and nattys blue[or wet nuba in that range].
 
I would reconsider and get the Pinnacle Sizzling Shine Kit. The paint cleanser will do some minor filling since you dont have a buffer, and Souveran is about the best wax for blacks. Add a bottle of Souveran Spray Wax to keep it up between washings and you are set for at least a years detailing on a normal basis.

For a black vehicle this is probably the best kit.
 
Thanks guys...I will take a look at that kit.
