Best Wax For Black Cars

[snowskate]

My brother`s got a black `89 944turbo in DC and wants a good wax for black paint for Xmas.

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.

I love the look of Poorboys Nattys blue on black.

I was looking at that wax, I really want my black paint to pop. Is the Natty Blue long lasting? Is it easy to use by hand?

[BigJimZ28]

this is a trick question!



I would look in to a good polish or a good person to detail the car

if he is thinking repaint, no wax is going to help

but a machine buff could!



on black I like trade secret & natty blue(but only after a good polish!)

[Juztang]

Yes the Natty`s is pretty durable. It goes on easy and comes off easy with no residue. You can`t beat the bubble gum smell either!

Nattys Blue



both posts above are from guys that know their stuff . . . and they are both right . .



one thing i would like to include in this discussion is Hi -Temps Black Wax, or top of the lines Black Velvet



Both are carnuba paste waxes formulated mainly for black cars. I know many people are skeptical of colored formulations . . . but these will do a wonderful job (not as warm or deep as souveran, estate glazes or 50/50) at providing the looks you want, but because the formualtion is black any residue which may build up in paint chips or other imperfections are not highlighted. I personally have the hi temp midnight express liquid cleaner/sealant (like poly seal but black) and the black carnuba paste.



check them out at Black Wax (http://www.topoftheline.com/carnauba-black-wax.html)



Black Liquid Wax (http://www.topoftheline.com/32ozmidswirr.html)



I have found that these products make black cars just a little eaiser. i will say again however, that this combo will not give the identical warmth and depth of a higher end carnuba paste.



good luck . . .

That black wax looks interesting...



I would agree with the above posts..



Souveran

Natty`s Blue



and I`d also add..



Meguiar`s #26



all depending on what you want to spend..

[slippy]

You might consider, Max Wax,Clearkote Carnauba Mose Wax,and one of the most `forgotten` waxes IMO,Harly Carnauba Wax,which is fabulous on black.

My two favorites on black are definitely:



Natty`s Blue

#26



I just ordered some #16 im interested to see how that will wind up looking compared to the other two mentioned above!?

Nice guy to do this much research to buy someone a gift.



Poorboy`s World Natty`s Blue Paste Wax for Dark Colored Vehicles (http://store.danase.com/powonablford.html)



Poorboy`s World Polish with Carnauba (Blue for darker colors) 32 ounce bottle (http://store.danase.com/powopowicabf.html) - In case he needs a little polish mixed in with that wax.

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

[gofastman]

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

[imported_agentf1]

If it has to be a wax Souveran.



Any product in general I would go with Z5 Pro.
