Turtle Wax Black Box

Has anyone used it? I bought it and was wondering if I should go return it. Any advice is appreciated. I have a Jet Black coupe.


2. Does anyone else use a water blade to dry their cars?

I tried the water blade, but went back to the microfiber drying towels, liked that better.

Water Blades will rape your paint, especially your Jet Black. They can only remove about 80 percent of the water anyway. You'll get off just as much or more with the sheeting method once you have a good coat of wax on.

Never tried Black Box. Let us know.

Cool, I'll take before and after pics tomorrow when I wash my car.

So the water blade isn't recommended?

Definitely skip the water blade. It will damage the paint.
