    WAX FOR BLACK

    I need a new Wax for the Black.


    I used to use an older Meguiar's cleaner wax that came in a dark red/brick colored bottle that I loved. Found some at a Walmart in St Louis that I used on the Matador Red CVSport and it worked its' magic.


    I've tried the turtle wax black kit--don't like it much it leaves different black color(s) and doesn't seem/look as clean. I use Titanium on the SB but don't like it much on the Black. Anything better than the Meguiar's cleaner wax?


    Need to wash n wax the Black. He hasn't really been out all year


    Looking for deep black look, smooth feel, and to cover/fill in/hide any small scratches..

    I wet sanded the blisters on my car but I have white lines where they were. (At least they aren't raised anymore.) I want to fill them in with black paste of some kind but nothing I have found works.

    For minor stuff I'm pretty impressed with Mequiars new spray wax.

    They are on there.... but Titanuium is too hard to apply, too hard to take off, too hard to work with, and I am not feeling the love anymore. Looking for something better, something that makes the black sing.... And as I said, I found the Old Meguiar's Cleaner wax on sale, used it on the red, and it was amazing!

    Have you used Meguiar's Quick Detailer between uses of Meguiar's Cleaner wax?

    I find that paste wax just leaves greasy swirls and fills in even slight imperfections with white all over, especially on black. The spray mist wax detailers are really good, and you can even do trim and glass with some of them. No dust, no swirls, no globs of wax in crevices and on rubber, etc.

    If someone could invent a spray or something that filled in the tiny scratches and chips with black they would make millions.

    As crappy as some may think it is, the turtle wax black box kit was what I found to leave my car the deepest black. If it lasted longer it would be great.

    Zaino doesn't leave any residue. You can wipe it on plastic mouldings and weatherstriping and it dries clear. It also gives a great shine that last a long time if you use the clear seal. My car looks like a black mirror on wheels.

    Maybe try this for paint chips...................

    I've never tried it so don't know how it works.
