Default Ziebart Diamond Gloss? good or bad?

Hey guys I plan in bringing back the shine my truck had last year so I was thinking of having the truck waxed and claybared professionally or should I do this Ziebart Diamond gloss, I have read about the Diamond Gloss a bit and have seen some bad and some good reviews. How will this turn out with my black paint? Any recommendations?

it doesnt take a pro to clay and wax a car. You are better off doing it yourself.

buy these, all of these products will last a never long time.

step by step.

ONLY use this wash if you plan on waxing after.

this is just a standard car wash soap

http://www.detailedimage.com/Chemica...now-Foam-P593/

clay bar and lube

paste wax, basically the higher the cost, the best shine you will get. all of them will look great. i personally use Chemical guys 50/50. love that stuff

50/50 wax (my preference)

http://www.detailedimage.com/Chemica...-P185/8-oz-S1/

microfibers (or go to costco and buy a pack)

if you want more of a shine, use a sealant before the wax. and if you want even MORE shine compound and polish before the sealant and wax. checkout my paint correction detail threads to see how in depth detailing goes.

Doent even need a bump, listen to Peyton, he knows his stuff! And i wouldnt waste the money on getting it done profeshionaly,Iv seen some "profesionals" and i wouldnt let them within 100 feet of my truck. Id just get what you need and do it yourself!
