zac2005ss Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Anyone know any good wax for black paint. Like you can get off the shelf at your local auto parts store? Looking for something to really bring the shine out and last pretty long? Anyone got any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Turtle Wax Ice/Mothers/Meguiars aren't that bad, but I prefer 3M products, they used to sell them at PepBoys, but now I can only get them at auto body supply shops. As a lot here will agree, Zaino is awesome stuff too, but you can only buy it online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugobossvp Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Ive been using this stuff . Meguiar's gold class liquid wax, applying and buffing by hand. Ive been very happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashSS Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Ive used meguiars in the past and mother but between the two I would suggest mothers. Zaino is a lengthly process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hankg42 Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Ive used meguiars in the past and mother but between the two I would suggest mothers. Zaino is a lengthly process Zaino is not a lengthy process if you use the All-in-One product. I don't have a ton of time to invest with waxing, and I was very pleased with the Zaino AIO. Looked good, and it took about an hour and a half (not including the wash / dry process). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I'm going to try this one. Keep the suggestions coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan06SS Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Things to keep in mind: There are different properties to a finish that will be accentuated by different products. Carnubas add depth and a warm look to black, but offer very short term protecton. Polymers and sealants offer long term protection, but more often than not leave the finish kind of flat looking, lacking any depth. IMO you'd be best suited to decide which is more important: long term protection between applications or aesthetics. If you're ambitious enough you can go with multi layered approach and apply a pure carnuba over the top of a polymer sealer... or the option of a blend product for a balance of the 2. Really I don't think there is any over the counter product that'll compete with specialty products available online, so don't limit yourself to the autoparts store selection.

NashSS Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 The Carlisle All GM Nationals after a fresh coat of 3M Perfect It..... I'm gonna try this stuff next year! Seeing how you have your silver ss looking like that with the 3m pefect it wax I'm to say the least impressed. I know silver or what just doesnt give off a good reflection like a medium to darker color does cuz ive waxed both my parents vehicles both white and my old monte which was silver and it is nothing compared to my blue ss or my black s10 i used to have. got any more pics? Id love to see more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
