A good polish/wax for black?
I plan on doing an extensive detail on my car this weekend. Im curious to know if anyone has any experience with a good store bought polish/wax for a black car. Also is there any good products store bought that can atleast help eliminate some of the swirls and surface scratches? Ive searched and searched and it seems like there is a ton of products that can be bought online but i wanna knock this out while we have good weather this weekend and will not have time for shipping. thanks in advance for any help!

For a wax, I used to use Poorboy's Natty Blue and it did a good job and was economical.
I since tried Blackfire Wet Diamond and it looks fantastic on black cars. I highly recommend it, and as it is a sealant it lasts several months. Don't let the price tag deter you too much, the liquid goes on thin so it will last you a while. Remember too that you'll use it 1/3 or 1/5 as much as waxing, since sealants last longer.

Didn't any of you guys read the thread??? He needs something store bought for this weekend! Not a list of your favorite products from online vendors!
My Walmart carries Meguiar's newest correction system. If your Walmart has it, go with that and you'll get professional results. |
