Wax for diamond black ed30

[Markydee]

Looking at ordering some wax for a diamond black car - previously always used autoglym (because I'm a newbie) so was looking at either AG HD wax or Dodo juice blue velvet or purple haze (also open to any other suggestions).
Also is balck hole a better bet than super resin polish/ ultra deep shine?
Any recommendations appreciated.
Cheers

Heard really good things about black hole, there's loads of before and after pictures over the Internet if you do a search and the shine and colour looks so deep and dark!

Black hole is more of a glaze with fillers so will hide swirls and give a wet look. SRP has some abrasive ability so is a polish, can be used by hand, contains fillers and a sealant of sorts.

If the car is properly machine polished, I found R222 to give an awesome wet look whilst allowing the metallic flake to pop rather than muting it.

Cheers for the replies guys - had a quick look for black hole results - look very impressive. Only looking at products for hand use at mo - would love a machine polisher though!
My current routine is wash, super resin polish, extra gloss protection. Am I correct in thinking that I need to stick to same routine but swap SRP for Blackhole and add a wax after the extra gloss protection sealant?

Do what you do now but add the black hole between the srp and the egp...  You might want to think about decontaminating the paint before the srp.. Halfords do a good meguirs (sp) starter clay kit for about £25.

Have fun!

Cheers guys - really usefull links! 
 I think I may be at the top of a very slippery slope!
So go for the the megs clay over AG clay?
Do I use the wax over the EGP - final stage?

The Megs kit they sell in Halfords is very good

Here is a shot of my car with Blackhole and Poorboys Natty blue wax applied. I found blackhole gives great results used with the poorboys wax. It gives the car a lovely gloss wet look. Its easy to work with too

I gave up on super resin polish. Its over rated , hard to apply and messy. The same goes for their hd wax. Poorboys wax and blackhole are great product to use IMO

Mine after a wash but has been polished with AG ultra deep gloss & then a coat of AG HD wax.

How did you find using the HD WAX Gene? Results look very good. 
I purchased the autoglym concours valet set already so have all the products but was looking add a final wax - was originally looking at the HD WAX but upon searching I'm now hearing great stuff about black hole - pretty cheap product too so worth a go. Results in posted pics look great.
That just leaves the decision on the final wax - swaying towards the dodo juice blue velvet over the natty paste (based purely on the newbie thought process that it is more expensive so must be better that the poorbors?!)
So new wash routine would be
Wash
Clay
SRP
Blackhole
EGP
DODOJUICE wax

Is this overkill? Can I skip SRP and just use Blackhole ?
Do I still use EGP if using a final wax?

Anyone got any pics after using dodo?

Cheers for all the replies

Hi Mark. The AG HD wax is very easy to use,comes with a couple of applicator sponges & micro fibre cloths so everything you need to use straight away.Only thing i would say is don't apply too much, a thin smear is all you need. .
Shop around for it Mark as you can get some great deals for it online(got my kit off ebay).
