[QUOTE=LoudHogRider;1656084]I used a lot of your previous suggestions in acquiring equipment and polish, so thanks again for sharing your knowledge with the board. I spent 7 hours with an orbital polisher and buffing towels yesterday to get this look. I discovered some areas where I need to do some minor paint correction before applying the ceramic coatings, but those will be the next steps in a month or so. Until then, soooo shiney.
I'm planning to get out my clay bars and DA polisher when time permits to remove the all the imperfections, swirls etc on my XKR. Ultimate black looks superb when it's clean (and rubbish when it isn't)
What did you use on your roof to get it looking so good?

303 Fabric Guard (
), per a suggestion from the board. I basically poured it into a bowl and brushed it on vs. taping everything off and spraying it. It felt a lot more controlled and I'm very happy with the results.

I don't think you can avoid the creases if you put the top down a lot. I have noticed many verts here in Southern Cal with creases and wear marks. Also, The other vert I had with a black top showed lots of creases. The 12 with a tan top had few if any noticeable creases. Creases are now showing up on my 13 which has only been in use for 14 months.
