      Re: Black Wax

      Black wax sounds a bit like Gold Class that always did such a phenomenal job on black as well being rich in oils.

      I think it's pretty exciting that Meguiar's introduces these products and then clearly explains the thinking behind the white wax and black wax. We aren't left wondering the secret to each. Thanks Meguiar's! That information pushes me to buy both, otherwise, I might be confused. Meguiar's keeps it simple and easy to understand!

        I have a feeling this will make polishing up the 2003 black Denali I recently purchased a whole lot easier.

        Well done!!!

          For those who want to top BW with another wax....why?

          If you go down the 2-step path then UP followed by your fave wax.

          Sounds to me as BW combines UP and wax into one convenient step.

            The idea is that a detail covering all the steps would involve clean/polish/wax/wax.

            So would be comparing:

            1. Ult. Polish
            2. Wax
            3. Wax

            or

            1. a cleaner/wax
            2. Wax

              Re: Black Wax

              Remember guys, there is some cleaning ability in this wax, not just the polish. To put it in perspective with the White Wax and Cleaner Wax, this graphic should help:



              You can see that both of these new waxes offer a lot more protection than Cleaner Wax does, but White gives a whole lot more cleaning ability while Black gives a lot more polishing ability.

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

                        Re: Black Wax

                        We want to be sure and point out a couple of things about these two new waxes:

                        1 - There are no dyes or colorants of any kind in these waxes. We expect that to be a concern with the Black Wax especially, but it is nothing like that other black wax on the market.

                        2 - These are sort of like paste waxes in a tube; think about the delivery of toothpaste from a tube and you're really close. The tube is a metalized material so you can roll it up from the bottom, just like a toothpaste tube (which you all roll up from the bottom, right????). The wax itself has a consistency somewhere between what you expect from a true paste and a true liquid, but once you get it on a pad, either a hand pad or a DA pad, it spreads like warm butter. Both will dry to a light haze quite quickly and wipe off is very easy.

                          Sounds cool! I'm ready to use this on my Platinum gray V DUB.

                            Now if we could only continue this graphic with more Meguiar's products!

                            Lets see NXT polish & protect ratio next to these. Lets see Gold Class polish and protect ratio (and bit of cleaner?) next to these.

                            Love this diagram. If you finished the wax line with this diagram, it could really give us a new way to think of all the products!

                              Nice... A wax designed for dark colors... Almost thought "Ok, just when I thought Meguiar's doesn't believe in waxes specifically for dark paint, they come up with a black wax, another wax with dyes that could be a mess to apply and have no durability".. Being an owner of a black car (yes, it is a privilage and a curse at the same time), this new black wax if it does a good job with those unsilghtly swirls is a welcome addition to my arsenal..
