  • I picked this up at Pep Boys today

    Turtle Wax Black Box. It's a detailing kit meant for black cars. I spoke to one of the rep and he said it's the best thing he ever use on his black car.

    I'm going to clean my bird tomorrow (Saturday)and use it. I'll take pics when I'm done and let you guys know how it is.

        Maybe. But one spec of dirt throws it all off with black paint. Silver's quite forgiving when it comes to dirt. :P

        It looks like a nice kit. I may have to get this for the boyfriend's Grand Prix.

          Forget your boyfriend. If you go black you'll never go back.
          :D

          Ok that's enough. I'll post up some pics soon.

              I'm curious to see how it does. We have a black honda pilot that is looking pretty rough.

                Should see my wifes 07' Saturn Vue , Suppose to be the GM black same as mine but comparing them here is alot lighter than mine. She doesn't wax it or anything just drive through car washes. I told her it would happen , now she can see the difference of what it is suppose to look like.LOL Maybe I'll get that for her birthday coming up so she can make it look good again.LOL I just looked it up it is only 19.99 at checker auto , so that is a good price I think.

                      I've got an eye on this thread! Anyone who owns a black car knows that we need something special for black cars, because you can't hide ANYTHING!

                          Probably not because there's black pigments.

                            Alright I did it. And YES!! It is really worth the 20 bucks. I give this an A- I put this above the other wax I've used in the past: Zymol, Perma Wax, Mequire, Mothers, and 3M. I love how it covered up some of the scratches, oxidation, and swirls. It made my black car blacker.

                            I started 3pm today and didn't finish till 8pm tonight. I followed each steps and took my time on it. That's why it took me so long. But next time I'll do half one day and the other half the next day. I ended up using 4 towels, because of the pigment, which messy and my hands shrivelled up. I'm definately wearing gloves next time, because I think I'm alergic to this.



                            Here's how I used it:

                            1. Wash the car- didn't fully dry it

                            2. Used an ordital applicator I applied the Pre-Wax Cleaner. Allowed it to dry it up and then wiped it clean with a cotton towel. (this will turn your towel black as you polish it)

                            3. Insert the spray nozzle on Black Spray Detailer and used the ordital applicator applied it and allowed it to dry. Then I wiped it clean.

                            4. Next I applied Black Carnauba Blend Wax. Then wiped it till it shines.

                            5. Reapplied Black Spray Detailer and I wiped it till the car shines. I kept wiping till it is polish perfect.


                            ----------------------------------------

                            Before using it on my 98 Bird I tried it first on my 89 Bird. Since my 89 bird's paint is fading I thought it be cool to see the comparison. I waxed the left side of the hood only. As you can see that it brought back it's black color to a shine. Something that my other wax can't do.




                            Up close you can see the oxidation and fading on the paint on the right, while the polished left side looks good.



                            Pic from a different angle. You can see that there's a clear reflection on the polish side.


                            You can see the left side is completely black compare to the right side.

                              I didn't get a chance to take pics during the day when finish. Because by the time I finished it was alright night. I take some pics tomorrow (Sunday).

                              Pics of the 98 Bird before it was wash and wax:






                              Pics after I finished. The ceiling light sort of affected my camara. Definately will take some outdoor pics so we could see the comparison better.
