I didn't even do the trim I was just careful but there are a few products you can use like 303 and Black Again Trim Restorer.

That PC and those pads, 4.5 or 5 for the IP, 5 for the FP and FMJ, wax by hand.

Needs Swissvax Concorso or that Zymol thats $7k lol but mods > wax!

Theres nothing like a detailed black car. But its a nightmare keeping it clean. After my 01 Camaro SS (black of course) i swore i would never get another black car. Both my evo,s were and are apex silver. I will never get any other color no matter what kind of car it is. Silver is just so easy to keep clean.And with my bad back thats just fine with me. BTW your car is smoking hot.

My other car (the silver audi) was soo easy to keep clean. I haven't washed that thig in months and look at it! Of course, there is nothing like a clean black car but it's alot of work. The only way you could tell my Audi was just washed was by the wheels, the paint always looked the same lol.

Blah those are overrated, and at $80 Souveran is already expensive, but it looks like Zymol Councours yet better than P21S or lower priced waxes on black .

I'll give it a try soon, I've heard only great things about it. It's worth the extra money too see the results on black.
