Hard to give an appropriate answer with the information supplied. Are you just attacking the bumpers or do you intend doing the whole car? What is the condition of the rest of the paintwork and will you be polishing by hand or with a machine?

Black Hole has no cut whatsoever. It is essentially a cleaner which will strip previous coatings, hide wash marring and mask fine swirls by filling them up. Your wax or sealant over the top of this will keep the fillers in place for a while but your high gloss finish will inevitably degrade. Personally, I find 50.CAL's Cover-up Filler Glaze to be a far superior product:

Cover-Up Filler Glaze

I've had truly excellent results with Nanotech's Super Gloss Polish, it will definitely turn the gloss level up to 11. It is an ultra fine finishing polish with very little cut. I use it with a white Chemical Guys Quantum pad on my DAS6 Pro Plus dual action polisher and if you use the jewelling technique you will be rewarded with a retina-searing shine provided the paintwork has already been corrected.
 
As above, Black Hole is a glaze rather than a polish. - I think of it as a filler to be used before I put wax (Dodo Juice Black Widow) over the top to seal it.

I'm not after the high shine finish, I prefer that deep oily sheen.
 
Cleaned my car with some el Cheapo
This is the car, not as clean as many on here but no rust etc, did have some alloy corrosion on the Boot lid which is now being corrected at thew garage along with some bumper scrapes . You might see them in the photos ?

So thank you for your advice guys, I will look at the Boat nanotech gear & will report back .
oh one last thing, is it OK to polish etc on the new paintwork or is there a waiting time ?
 
You can wash the car straight away but I'd hang back from polishing for 6 weeks whilst the residual outgassing from the new clearcoat takes place. Obviously if you apply a coat of wax to the affected areas you will also be slowing down the process.

Good call on the boat polish. Here's a pic of a black Kia "Sportard" I did a while back. I topped it off with Soft 99's Fusso Coat Dark which is so hydrophobic and produces such insane sheeting that you can actually dry the car with an open hosepipe! My Hyacinth Red GLC is in the reflection looking more like a CLS Wagon :thumb:

Nanotech's Super Resin Polish Black doesn't need to be used solely on darker cars. The "Black" bit just means these is a higher concentration of abrasive in it simply because darker colours will show up swirls and scratches better. There are no pigment enhancing properties despite the name.
Here's a pic of a Ford KA-tastrophe having undergone the Nanotech Black/Fusso Dark process:

Thats looks brilliant.
Thanks for the polishing advice re: new paintwork, much appreciated :)
 
Your son's detailer isn't comparing apples with apples. For many, the terms polish and protectant have become interchangeable. The Starbrite is more of a protectant loaded with what they call PTEF to give a very slippery surface and protect from UV, the cause of fading and oxidisation. The rest of the world knows this substance as PTFE and this is also what is also added to the Fusso Coat wax sealant from Soft 99. The Nanotech is a true polish, albeit containing very fine abrasives, so you will benefit from its corrective work. It provides no protection from the elements on its own and, like all other true polishes, needs to be topped off with a protectant. Your choice will really be dictated by the underlying condition of your existing paintwork.
 
(PTFE better known by the Dupont trade name: Teflon... although confusingly Dupont also use "Teflon" for their other fluoropolymers like PFA).
