Removing Swirls Black Paint
Boothy:
Are you going to be using a DA?
bonelorry:
Check out my thread on the Members Rides section, I recently did my Diamond Black ED30 using the Megs 105/205 combo, Also did Fallout remover and De-tar prior to polishing and finished with Collinites 845 Wax.

What I could use some help with is the process from removal to waxing. In my head the steps would be:
Swirl removal - I have G3 scratch and swirl remover & Meguires ultimate compound left from my hand attempts, will either be suitable for use with the DA?
Polish - I've been using Autoglym super resin polish which works nicely but sometimes I find it difficult to buff off but again that was by hand so could be easier with DA. I've also seen a lot of hype around poorboys black hole for dark paint, any recommendations?
Sealant? - I've been reading that once you have polished then the paint needs sealing? Any advice or tips and products would be great
Wax - I'm currently out of wax so any recommendations for dark paint welcome!
Thanks!!

yes, the megs will be fine with a DA, I had demo/visit to the uk headquarters a couple of years ago with my mk4, and after the talk/presentation, went out to the car park and picked mine as it would show best ( indigo blue) did my bonnet, by splitting into sections, using the same product all the time, ultimate compound followed by ultimate wax, 1 section by hand, 1 x using the small DA drill attachment and 1x using the G220, result = awesome, to the point that i proceeded to buy the compound + wax while I was there, and shortly in the days after got a G220,
re poorboys, very good finish, but it is a glaze not a polish/filler, so ideally you need to remove the swirls first, gives a deep wet look shine, moved onto it form autoglym SRP after hearing about it on detailing forums, but from personal experience, the meguiars gives me what I need.
