2006 Diamond Black C55 paint correction ideas

I have some minor swirls, scratches and holograms on my 2006 Diamond Black C55 AMG – nothing too major. I’ve decided to take care of some of these imperfections in advance of a clear bra application I’m planning to get. After researching an arsenal of products and ideas I’m thinking of doing the following (in this order):

Clay and some kind of clay lube

MenzernaSuper Intensive Polish SI1500 (Formerly PO83Q) With an orange light cutting pad.


Menzerna Super Finish SF4000 (Formerly PO106FA) with a white polishing pad.


Chemical Guys Jet Seal 109


This will be my first time using a Porter Cable 7424XP.

Please critique the products, application etc. Any ideas are welcome….

Sounds like a good plan to me; I would have a bottle of PO85RD handy as well to jewel the finish if you want the shiniest, glossiest finish.
Maybe try doing SIP with a White cutting pad at first? It works well with orange, but remember to try the least aggressive method first.

I would do things like this:

HD UNO to cut or level the paint

HD POLISH to jewel - (the best finishing polish right now)

HD POXY to protect or HD NITRO SEAL

This will give unmatched gloss and durable protection.

I personally haven't found anything that look better, works easier.
