I use a orbitor not a PC or a Buffer. It`s much bigger and I use that to apply the wax. I can`t find a picture of one at this time.

Not understanding what this orbitor is sounds like you would require a liquid wax to apply.....for me the best wax for any color is a paste wax applied by hand...but thats just me!Originally Posted by shortd81

Beemer, an orbitor is like a polisher with no correction ability. Craftsman sell one that can be picked up at sears..Originally Posted by Beemerboy
I know what that is and if you ask me I would then go with a paste wax by hand.Originally Posted by joe.p

I agree,this is how i prefer do apply my waxs and sealants. although i do like the cordless polisher that megs has on their site to apply sealants/wax.Originally Posted by Beemerboy
I to would apply my wax by hand and as for the best wax I dont think the wax matters as its all in your polishing and prep work.
Same here, I always apply the lsp by hand. I even enjoy doing it that way. I don`t know if its because I know I`m about done with the job or if its just the pleasure of putting it on a perfect finish.

Glen brings up a very good point. It`s more in the polishing steps and surface prep than it is just using "the best wax for dark colors." With that being said, and from reading your post, I would suggest something high in fillers, as it doesn`t look like you were planning on any type of polishing. Maybe a glaze followed by a wax would suit your needs.
I still don`t believe in grit guards.
I don`t think anyone answered the question...What is the best wax to use on dark colors..I don`t think he was asking if paste or liquid was best...I think he was asking what brand is best for dark colors....Maybe I misunderstood his post....
What type of wax to I use on dark colored cars?
I personally use Natty`s Blue Paste on customers` cars.
On my truck, I use Pinnacle Souveran Paste.

You can do a search for Adams on the net I don`t think that they are a sponsor here any longer....you might check out autogeek as well.....another liquid wax/polish that I personally love and use on my own cars all the time is Poorboys World Polish with carnauba and that`s available in threw this site and the sponsors...its what called a one step process AIO (all in one)Originally Posted by shortd81

I personally like PB`s Natty`s Blue for both price and protection. The shine is great too. I also like Souveran, but I`m not too willing to pay that much money for it.
