Shampoo - born to be mild
Sealant - Red Mist Spray Sealant
Wax - Purple Haze

Hi Andy, what JonJay said really..
Don't forget the pre-wax cleanser, Limeprime. With it's micro-abrasives, it can clean up your paint and also offer slight correctional abilities.
Here are a few pics of cars I have done that have been finished with Dodo Juice (Limeprime / Supernatural, usually)
Corsa VXR:
AM DB9:
225 LCR:
Merc C220:
and a 50/50 on a Porsche Boxster S showing it's correctional abilities:
They're a great company too - http://www.dodojuice.com/

I forgot about lime prime 
Quick question Jim. What pad do you use to get the best corrective abilities out of lime prime? I tried
Menzerna Polishing pad (orange one) - this is ok but little hard to begin with until its primed properly
Sonus Swirl Buster pad - little to hard
Sonus Polishing pad - my favourite but not sure if i am getting the most out of the micro abrasives
Lake Country Cutting pad (yellow) - dont like the feel of it.
Thinking I should get some 3M pads, I have the small spot pads and they seem to work well.

so what would be the order there used in adding a clay bar to the equation? thats if a clay bar is worth using with them.
for a black car too if that makes a difference?

It is worth claying the car yes.
I would do
- wash the car with btbm
- clay the car
- wash the car again and dry
- lime prime the car
- wax the car with purple haze and buff off
- leave the car for an hour than apply a second layer of wax then buff off.
Its better to leave the wax 24 hours so it properly cures to the paint before the second layer. You would need to wax the car again however as dust will settle on her.

its good stuff that clay never used it before untill this year although mine wasnt to bad apart from the rear bumper and roof.
how come you wash the car again after claying it?

The lubricant you use will need to be washed off the car as it will dry whilst your going around the car.
I use with either one of three pads.
Meguiars yellow polishing
3M yellow polishing
or the flexipads soft finishing pad
the Porsche I think was a Meguiars pad judging by this pic:
....wait, no - lol, just seen the reflection in this shot. That's defo the 3M polishing.
It's been a while sice I've 'primed'. I have a hopeful Hyundai Coupe in black on Saturday, so, I should be able to document the results

im impressed, what sealant is best for black an want to get rid of swirls, work to be done by hand whats best product
Do you want a sealant, or a wax?
I noticed in your 'Readers Rides' post that you used the Meguiars 3-step system; whatever you decide to use to protect the car, it will be more efficient than Meguiars' step-3! IIRC, their Step-2, the polish, is a 'pure polish'. More of a glaze (no polishing (abrasive) abilities)
I'm not sure if you caught it the first time round Paul, but, take a look at this Audi S3 in black that I worked on. This was protected with Dodo Juice Supernatural. 90% of the overall look however is down to the prep work before the LSP (Last Stage Product)
If you want to stick with Dodo, try their Purple Haze wax (As JonJay pointed out earlier), or, their "Blue Velvet". Both of which are colour charged for darker coloured cars.
*Edit - and, if you want to get rid of swirls.. by hand it's always going to be a challenge. If you were knackered after your 2 hour session cleaning it last time, you may struggle with working the lot by hand
Dodo Juice Limeprime would probably be my first choice. As said above, with it's micro-abrasives it has 'bite' to it and can certainly reduce the lighter surface swirls and scratches, even by hand.
AutoGlym Super Resin Polish could be worth a try if you haven't already? Although correctional abilities are low with this, it's full of fillers that, in turn, 'remove' (hide!!) the swirls for a period of time.
Then you could try Meguiars Ultimate Compound (I think..) I don't know too much about this one, but, saw a demo of it at Megs HQ in Daventry late last year and the results were pleasing.

thanks for your reply maz.
will more than likely get in contact with you next year and arrange somthing as what you said sounds quite reasonable for the after results.

^cheers.
Trouble is, I'm a good 3 hours away from Al.
Mind, you're still what, hour and a half?!

is it a good idea to use red mist after purple haze has been applied or is that completly pointless?
out of intrest.
