Best polish and wax for black ?

[bonelorry]

I have noticed quite a few people recommending Poor Boys Black hole, Not wanting to teach anyone to suck eggs but Black Hole is a Paint Cleaner, Glaze and a Filler. It is not a Polish so will not Cut or Refine the Paintwork and it is not a Wax or Sealer so won't provide any protection.

It is however a very good "Cheating" Product aimed at Dark Coloured Paintwork in the fact that once you have Machine Polished your car and a few Months pass you will pick up new Minor swirls from the wash/drying proceess no-matter how careful you are, You can use Black Hole by hand or with a D/A at low speed with a finishing pad to fill in those swirls and give the car that just Machine Polished glossy look again. However this process strips off any Wax/Sealants so you need to Re-Wax/Seal the Paint after using Black Hole.

Having recently done a 2-Stage paint correction on my Edition 30 "which will be the first one its had in its 8 Year life" I want to try and keep that fresh looking finish I have achieved especially on a Diamond Black Car. For obvious reasons I cannot keep Machine Polishing it on a regular basis so Poor Boys Black Hole will do just the trick and I will probably use it every 3-6 Months prior to Wax top ups then apply a fresh layer of Wax to protect.

I am a big Collinites Wax fan but I am tempted to try the Poor Boys Black Wax or Dodo Juice Purple Haze.

P.S another product similar to Black Hole is Britemax Blackmax

I agree with the comments above bonelorry. I always finish of with nattys paste wax to seal in the paint correction. Lasts a good few months before it needs freshening up again.

Now the weather is turning, id like to get one more coat of wax on to protect from the salts on the road.

Autobrite brilliance is another good option with fillers in, that does also provide a little protection.

I have used collinite for a number of years and been a firm fan of it for durability during winter, but last year found fusso99. Durability is unreal great product, easy to apply, great beading

Blackhole by chemical guys is a good one, gives it a nice wet look

I have been meaning to get some of this! Currently have Purple Haze (Dodo Juice)

My cheat 'go to' is always a bit of Poor Boys Black Hole, topped with a couple of coats of Purple Haze.

Only grumble with the Purple Haze is that it doesn't last that long but the Black Hole is a great shortcut if you can't be bothered with the whole polishing routine.

I just use Bilt Hamber Finis wax. Usually lasts around 3 months too :)

I used to use a 3 step maguires polish and wax, used to do it by hand and took me a while, but was very good and gave a really good finish on darker cars, i did it on a ml in the black/purple colour, swissvax is also very good, but its pretty expensive as well. It just depends on what you like tbh

A full correction then black hole (poor boys) then R222 for a liquid looking black

Thag looks lovely that m3, think il be doing that to my m3 when its finally out, just had a buff, anyone recommend any good diamond cut wheel refurbishers in the west yorkshire area?

[Rippers]

R222 is now on order after seeing those results!!! 

[Duffmeister]

Try the wheel specialists in Garforth, tell him Neil sent you, you may or may not get some discount.

Yes the R222 is a very good product and lasts ages. Also try Finnis wax by Builthamber, an equal to R222 really. I've recently replaced the Black hole for 50cal pre wax polish and got some amazing results, best detailing product I've used in a long time by a fair margin. The filler glaze they call it, can only buy direct from 50cal though but well worth it.
