You do know black hole is a glaze and in order for it to work the surface needs to be prep'd properly and once that's been done and black hole is applied you still need to protect all of your hard work with a wax or sealant. Black hole is a decent product though.

I've been using Dodo 'Purple Haze so far on mine after owning it for 6 months+

GREAT results!

Yeah I use the ex sealant after and I've also just purchased some Natty's paste wax. What do you mean by prep'd properly? Car is fully cleaned first, 2 bucket method, clayed, cleaned again then black hole?

Yeah pretty much that. Just reading your first post it sounded like you washed it then slapped on some black hole. It gives a black car some shine.

Blackfire polish, wax and QD worked excellent on my black GTI.




Real easy to work with too. :happy2:

As a quick pass, I love my lime prime. Really brings out the sparkle of metallic flakes and wettens the black. If proper polish, I love my Menzerna polishes. Very finicky though.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
