hi all, anyone used turtle wax black box was wondering if so what result was good or average

[davyk31]

THere are generally better products than Turtle Wax. Must check on the black polish I used, came highly recoemmended.

Use poorboys blackhole glaze followed by a good wax (I like Collinite 915... )

Don't mean to hijack, but along the same lines, what do you guys recommend for removing minor scratches on a black car? Meguiars Scratch X?

[MEGA]

A machine polisher and a decent medium cut polish followed by re-applying any glaze/wax you have now. Elbow grease and off the shelf products are only ever good for the lightest lightest of scratches.. If at all.

Autofinesse tripple!! The best all in one on the market.

Yeah I dropped about £150 and that's only just to clean it!

Not started on wax, clay etc.

Only used the bits twice lol. Too cold atm, I'm not that hardcore.

I got a DAS6 PRO bought for me for xmas and have just spent another £200 on product for it as a result of joining detailing world, so be careful!

To the OP not used it myself but I hear PB Blackhole is very good.

a reasonable quick fire solution would be the autofinesse tripple (as already suggested), followed by a decent sealant (autofinesse toughcoat suggested or even autoglym extra gloss would be alright). sealants are sprays/liquids and dead easy to put on and take off. you could use a strong wax also (like collinite)

if you want to spend a bit more and put some more effort in (without a full machine polish) then autofinesse rejuvenate, followed by poorboys blackhole, and then a good wax (colli as suggested) or a liquid sealant (again toughcoat or similar). i would also suggest getting some clay involved before any of this process.

dont waste your money on turtlewax stuff (or most Halfrauds kit) just buy some quality products - they will last longer and the final finish will be superior.

but as Mega suggests, if you want rid of scratches and imperfections (as opposed to just masking/covering them) you'll be looking at a machine polish.

Blackhole is undoubtedly a good glaze, easy to use and smells great.

I find Autofinesse products to be superior to Poorboys IMHO.

Chemical Guys glazes are also very good and again IMO tip the edge compared to BH.

A good sealant AF tough coat, CG blacklight and then a nice wax on top. mine has raceglaze 55 on it at the moment which I rate. Also have so naviwax ultimate to try....

After the each wash I top up with Zaino Z8 which is a gloss spray sealant. It gives a brilliant finish and is probably one on the most rated detailing products. Expensive but lasts for ages.
