Black car? Turtle Wax "black box"

[mazilla]

I tried the Turtle wax "black box" on my newly painted Yaris...man, this is some good sh*t!

Wear gloves because it will color your hands black.

I cannot tell you how thankful you posted this .... I have been eyef*cking the hell out of that box every time I go to the part store, and I have talked myself out of it everytime thinking it was going to be BS.

Do you have before/after pictures by chance?

I have never trusted a turtle wax product, so this would be hard for me to do - but seriously, if it's good .... I may just try it.

I don't have any pictures unfortunately, but my paint is butter smooth now(keep in mind it's brand new and just back from color sand/buff). That in mind I can feel/see a dramatic difference. The black pigment in the wax works wonders on small scratches and it puts a nice shine on window trim. My favorite part, IT DOES NOT DRY WHITE! Not having to worry about wax filled cracks and white trim lets you get into the nooks and crannies with no regret.

I went all out and still have enough product for at least three more treatments...

I snapped a couple pics with the cell...sorry for the quality.




One pic is reflection, one pic is actual. :)

My BLACK BOX HAS BEEN SITTING ON MY KITCHEN TABLE FOR SOME WEEKS NOW. All I need is a break in the weather to get it on.

Is it really that good? I have a few light scratches in the clear coat and a couple of stone chips up front from the winter. Will it cover those????

[MadMax]

Same here, been too busy to get to it but I've heard nothing but good reports on it!

Cheers! M2

I had some light scratches. And now they are gone. It was such a good buy. I'll use this every 6 months.

[Strider199]

Good to hear Bethlehem-yaris. Maybe this weekend it will clear up.

Should I use a clay bar before I use this, or will the pre wax cleaner do the same thing?

I'd go with the clay bar before waxing, especially if it's been a while since you last ran one across it. You want that paint free of contaminants to help avoid scratches.


Be sure to give the waxes plenty of time to dry, the drier the wax the easier it is to remove...which means less pressure and less chance of swirls. You can still swirl your paint with a micro towel if you have to press hard to remove the wax. It should be like wiping dust of your paint...followed up with a super soft finishing cloth, I like to use one of my kids old pajamas whatever it's made out of is extra soft and work perfectly. :)

I have it and let me just say, IT'S THE SHIT

[Bmcguigan1]

I just got it in the mail today! Im hoping to get it done this weekend. I also just got a random orbital buffer but the Black Box says use a max of 1500 RPM and mine is 3600 RPM....bummer

Just finished Black Box! Seems like I have the camera facing the wrong direction!

paint is dead guy, vinyl wrap is popular now :)
But i love to wax my car, but i'm tired of keep waxing it.

Anybody know if you can use this with the Flint Mica color?
