Hey Russ,
Sapphire Metallic Black is usually quite hard... this means 2 things. One, it will be more challenging to remove defects from the paint. Two, it will be very easy to finish down without marring/haze.... so there are some pros/cons to working with hard paint.
Depending on the current condition of your paint, you may need to resort to something like microfiber cutting pads and a cutting compound for defect removal. If your paint is in relatively good shape and just has some minor defects, you'll likely just need a foam polishing pad and medium polish.
Here are some of my recommendations for you:
Meguiar's Microfiber Cutting Discs
Light Cutting Foam Pads
Polishing Pads
Meguiar's D300 Cutting Compound or
Meguiar's M100 Cutting Compound
Menzerna PF2500 Medium Polish
Meguiar's M205 Polish
Here are a few examples of Sapphire Metallic Black using D300 and MF Cutting Pads
After polishing and topping with
Chemical Guys Black Light, it looked stunning
