Whats the best compound and wax to use

[allkarma]

I have finally finished spraying my car jet black in cellulose.
I have flatted with w&d 1500 followed by DA Mirka Abralon 2000 and 3M trizact 3000.
Car looks semi buffed,now time for compound and wax.
I have no idea what is the best compound system to use as they are way to many products out there.
I Would be very great full for anyones opinions on cutting black cellulose
Product and code would be ace

well assuming DA mirka discs mean you have a DA sander/polisher then a good set of products would be Meguirs #83 followed by #80 to finish the shine down

Pads by Megs polishing pad for the #83 followed by the #80 on a finishing pad.

I assume you know how to polish but just incase you dont

Assuming a speed range on the DA from ~1-6 spritz the pad with a bit of water followed by 4 pea sized blobs about an inch in form the edge of the pad on opposite sides.

Starting on speed 2 work the polish over an area around 12" until an even coverage then moving at about 1-2" per second with the speed cranked up to 4-5 work the polish until it goes clear(around 3 mins normally).

Once the polish is clear then you work the speed down to around 2 for another minute or so to refine the finsh.

then shut down the Da and buff off residue immediately with a high quality Microfibre.

Depending on the hardness of the paint probably best to start with a pass with the #80 first to see if it has any effect.

I also hope you have let the paint fully cure which i would imagine unles the paint has been baked will take a couple of weeks

can recommend collinite 476 or 915 wax, very long lasting and great value for money. Depends what you want from a wax really
