Default Advice needed

Today as i was cleaning my car a friend came over with her type R, after seeing me cleaning she asked if i would have a look at her's and see if i could sort the paint out abit. This is what i managed to do:


Used, Meg's compound, dodo lime prime, then finished with a layer of Dodo blue velvet.

But im convinced i can get better results using my DA. can anyone suggest the best stuff i can use on a black car??. cheers.

On a Black Honda you probably wont need a Cutting pad/compound and should do ok with a Polishing pad and compound as the paint is quite soft. You could use Menzerna, 3M, Megs take your pic....actually even Lime Prime might have enough cut with a cutting pad, but there are other products you can use to fill, like Poorboys Black Hole, the name gives it awat, for Black cars....

well think giving the list ill stick to what i already use, just involve buffer also.

1* snow foam, wash 2bm, claybar, snow foam and dry
2*buff using Meg's compound
3*Glaze with lime prime
4* general paint seal, think its only like supaguard :/
5* Finish off with a layer or 2 of dodo.

shows good results on my car so will hopefully be the same.

making sure the finish is as flat as possible to get the best shine/depth.

Menzerna Final Finish will be all that is needed trust me, i had a NHB EP3 (before i sprayed it yellow lol), the paint on these is mega soft, so easy to inflict damage its unbelievable.
