I'm finding out what swirl remover was used on that black 993 Turbo. Pretty awesome result.

I wouldn't buy the Klasse kit, well not anymore. There are much easier sealants to work with now that I've tried the competition. Klasse's sealant is a bit of extra work and not really any better. Its going the way of the dino fast.

But Klasse's All in One Polish is superb and you don't need allot of it. The small bottle will be enough for more than year. It's a Polish so its primary function is cleanse the paint and doesn't have any swirl removing ingredients.

For swrils, I think Poorboy's does an excellent job with the electric Porter Cable. By hand I've had good albeit very time consuming and back breaking results with the 3M rubbing compound and Swirl Remover (two products). Lots of Bite in dem 3m.
1Z makes a popular swirl remover used allot in Europe.

if you want my advice this is a good product round up.

1-Poorboys SSR 2.5 or 1Z (get some of their Mega towels while your at it, 1st rate)
2-Klasse AIO
3-Poorboys EX with Carnauba (nice easy to work with sealant on dark paint) or http://www.jeffswerkstatt.com/acrylic-jett-trigger.php (but I think its sold out at the momment its become very popular) both of these are WAY easier to use than Klasse SG.

After you have sealed pick whatever monthly wax you desire. This Natty's Blue is VERY popular on dark cars.
and after your regular wash use a good gloss spray like Zaino, FK1 425 (very hot right now), or the Poorboys gloss spray.

These guys have allot of the product I use on one site (Plexus, Raggtopp,Poorboys,Leatherique Prestine softener, ClayMagic Clay bars(cheap), Klasse, P21 gel wheel cleaner, OXO car wash brush for your canvas, etc.
I might have to give them a shot. They'll give you a 10% discount if you sign up for their news letter. That'll take care of the shipping

Man, that's a great job on that 911 Turbo. I believe it's Portuguese, not Spanish. Here's a loose translation (not sure of his abbreviations although IP may be Menzerna Intensive Polish):

I present here a complete detail of the exterior and interior of my dream car since I was an adolescent. Porsche 911 Turbo 993, only 32,000 cars made in 1996. But the paint – my god... Swirl City. It is a car that now belongs to a person with a passion for automobiles, and with very good taste. I had the pleasure to detail it, it was an honor, after all it was my first super detailed car. Since swirls, holograms, plastics without life, at last are almost 10 years of bad washings. It was the longest and hardest work that I had, total 16 hours distributed over 2 days.

The following was made: - Washing with Sonax. Clean with 1Z wheel cleaner, sonax, 1z PP, Grojet and ws of pb - general Decontamination –

- Yellow with PG x 3 times
- Orange with IP x 1 (it was for using the blue one, but I dialed in the maximum force with Porter Cable
- White with FF x 1
- Grojet
- Nattys

cool I thought it was Gallego, y'know that Spanish dialect that's more like Portuguese than Spanish.

black paint in the sun is like the proof in the puding.
