    Re: Black Wax

    I got the black wax yesterday and tried it out on my 03 Pontiac today and it went on very easily and wiped off super easy. And from what I can tell it's right up there with Ultimate wax as far as shine and I assume the protection level is right up there with it as well. And it smells very very good too. Great stuff, and I really like how it comes in a big toothpaste tube. Very different and very creative!

      Re: Black Wax

      Protection is probably more like Gold Class.

        Re: Black Wax

        Black Wax is, as Mat points out, more like Gold Class in terms of both protection and durability. It's primarily a carnauba wax while Ultimate is purely synthetic, so Ultimate will not only last longer but it is our longest lasting, best protecting wax. But there's something about this new Black Wax (and it's cousin, White Wax) that's hard to argue with!

          Carnauba? The tube says montan wax. Please explain. Montan a subset of carnauba? Thanks.

            Re: Black Wax

            i have to assume, you still wont get as good a finish from this as you will a true polish and then a stand alone wax.. is that right?

            also.. which one of these for red cars? lol

              Why Black wax???

              Let take a look to the visual spectrum, both black and white wax have the right chemistry
              to enhance your color and bring it to an unparalleled appereance.

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.

                    I'm jealous. I want to use some Black Wax on my own car, but all it does is RAIN.

                    Yours is look'n awfully nice.

                      Picture was taken with an Iphone 4s, and it doesnt make justice. Hope you get the chance to play with Black Wax soon.
                      Is not like butter, maybe like margarine (more fat content).
                      Buffs good and leaves a smooth finish. Wash, clay and 2 coats by hand.

                            I got my chance to use Black Wax. Just a quick wash and dry, followed with Black Wax and followed with Ultimate Wax. I have some "Flex" branded pads and used the one of medium firmness at speed 4 on the Flex with the Black Wax. I primed the pad and put an inch of extra BW. The BW works much like Ultimate Polish very easy to apply and work. However unlike Ultimate Polish it does not work out to nearly be clear, it stays black and acts like a wax. I did half of the car, but not the roof, before even thinking of buffing off. Even then I could have waited longer before buffing off.

                            After doing the other half, I did the roof using Ultimate Wash and Wax Anywhere using a long handled microfiber (too lazy for ladder work this time). Used a little Tire Foam on the tires to kill some time and then buffed off the last half. I vacuumed the interior before applying Ultimate Liquid Wax using an LC 4" black pad on a PC at speed 3.

                            Black wax left most of the swirls I had on my car, but I ended up with a satisfying wax job and nice reflections. In comparison to White Wax which removed some of the swirls in my delicate clear coat. Yet the White left a great shine with super reflections on a BLACK car. Like them both, but probably will only use them on my own car, rather than clients.

                              Hey guys! Did a simple wash, followed by a coat of #7 then a thin coat of black wax. Managed to get this shine:



                              I love this pic.

                              Although, I didn't notice in time that Meguiar's Black Wax is an AIO so it might've removed the glaze =(. Oh well, live and learn!
