jaws - i love your rims ...
gothkid ... i will never buy another black car in my life ... no matter what ... it took me nearly 20 minutes just to buff out the decklid to my liking with a lambswool pad, meguiars ultimate and a random orbital polisher ( its all i got, but it does the job ) ... i would love to have a porter cable DA with a full set of pads and compounds and polishes ... but i just cant afford it right now - student loans man ... they dont care if you didnt get the job your degree is in ... they still want their money back

In 3hrs I only get done:
Washing of car
Wash Wheels
ClayBar entire car
Maby start applying a compound to the car.
On the Black Nissan Sentra I did recently I spent 1hr on the Hood alone including the test spot. That was 2 passes of Meguiars 105 on orange Lake country CCS pad and the 2 passes of 205 on white LC CCS pad
The hood was the only part besides the rear quarter panels that got M105 the rest got just M205 on white pad because the customer didnt want a full correction
All in all with Interior it took me 13 hrs.
BTW it takes me approx 2 hr on full interior with shampoo carpets and seats
If you dont mind the drive Id be more than happy... BTW I love detailing black cars.
