Black polish/wax
« on: February 07, 2013, 07:47:42 pm »
Notice in halfords the other day that a new coloured turtle wax branded polish is out that comes with a chipstick. I remember years ago turtle wax doing this called colour magic that was a bit of a t cut  I think. Anyone used this new option and if so any good?

I would start with something like Autoglym Super Resin Polish.  The new formula is an improvement but does have a great results, follow that up with Poorboys blackhole glaze and its a great combination.

Poorboys Black Hole topped off with Nattys Blue Paste Wax works a treat on dark coloured cars. Both are really easy to put on and take off (which is a bonus). :smiley:

Another vote for PB black hole here. Followed by a paste wax (PB Nattys blue has already been mentioned) or finished with PB EX sealant.

Decent combo - one I've got myself. However Black Hole is a glaze and will only mildly clean the paint, so I'd personally polish the paintwork first with a dedicated polish, then apply BH and Nattys. You'll get better results that way. The wax, whilst enhancing the finish, really just tops of the hard work done during the prep stage.

Incidentally, I'm probably going to be selling Nattys, EX-P sealant and the PB's wheel sealant as they rarely get used.

As above a good polish underneath the black hole glaze will really help achieve a deep gloss. There are great options even in the poor boys range to include with that set up.

Plus the question about dodo blue velvet. Yes it is an excellent wax. I prefer the slightly softer purple haze myself but that's due to wax hardness only top quality durability and shine with them

To be honest, "coloured" waxes are a fallacy as they do not provide better results than any non-specific wax.
I used Blackhole on my car which is silver and got similar results as to when I use any other type of glaze product.

Just a thought.  :wink:
