Best Wax For Black Cars

[tyoung]

Okay, the bubble gum scent pushed me over the edge, i'm defintely ordering some Natty Blue!

I would use Meguiars Colorx or Klassee AIO before Natty's to clean and prep the surface, sounds like the paint isnt at 100% condition

If it has to be a wax Souveran.

Any product in general I would go with Z5 Pro.

What do you recommend?
He mentioned I could get him a wax with black enhancers like the colored Turtle Wax stuff as a last resort before considering a hood / nose repaint.
Is colored Turtle Wax good enough or is there something definitely better?

Thanks.

What is your budget? Sounds like you might be better off finding a pro detailer in the area and getting full exterior detail lined up for him. If the paint is in bad condition, wax is not going to help, it needs to be corrected first.

PO106FF. Though not a wax, this is the real key to a good looking black vehicle.

BINGO! I should have read your post first. I like your style SHICKS.

Awesome feedback!!! Thanks very much!!!

I'm leaning toward Natty's Blue.
Budget isn't an issue.
He got the car this past Spring and applied the Meguiar's 3 step process about 3 times since. I told him to add the clay bar as step 0.
The paint has really come back!
but there is obvious wear / road rash on the nose from highway driving etc. So he wanted to experiment with a black enhancing wax before considering any more involved steps like a professional polish and/or repaint.
THX!

No luv for Zymol, I guess. I've never heard anyone mention their black tinted carnauba.

polishing is the key in my opinion. Sealed with a sealant.

PS: as far as wax, do try Max Wax. One of the best, best wax I have tried.
