Wax for black gold

[Sj1782]

What wax do people use for black gold? Currently using poor boys natty paste, not much left so fancied trying some new products.

 

[Gally]

Try some Britemax Vantage?

What's your budget and do you require durability?

 

[Sj1782]

Budgets around £50 I'm after something that apply's easy with a long lasting protection that still gives a good shine

 

[Gus]

After a wash or polish Poorboys BlackHole followed by chemical guys triple X wax is a great combo. If you want long lasting protection especially for winter then Collinite 476 is great. I actually really rate the shine from 476, its also really easy to apply and buff off.

 

[Gally]

Don't put 476 on BG. That's like sacrilege ffs!

 

[imprezaworks]

Does it have to be wax? I use chemical guys sealant which is easy to use and lasts well

 

[Gally]

It's BG it's summer. It deserves a wax though.

As I just posted posted in another wax thread, try vics concours wax. Durability isn't great but the finish is awesome.

Applied I've hydro2 on my black beemer a while ago and it looked slick as f**k.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

And it's pretty cheap too.

 

[Mr Plums]

VO5 styling wax is decent, it takes bloody ages to wash out my hair.

Dodo juice purple haze pro is good on black cars, smells lovely too, quite durable and its really easy to buff off, it leaves a nice wet look, a little like the VO5 above.

Strongbow?

I like vics, but lately trying other stuff the Chem guys is really nice to use.

Only on my 2nd mate.

Seriously tho I recommend the purple haze, and you can pick up a 30ml panel pot off ebay with a free cloth for £6 which should do a Clio 3+ times.

Durability for me isn't an issue as the car gets a once over every week. I highly recomend wolf white satin as a neutral shampoo.

I like the maguiars gold class shampoo, it stays nice and frothy unlike some that I have tried which I have needed to add a dash of snowfoam to to give it a few suds.

 

[imprezaworks]

I've tried quite a few now and nothing comes close, for me. Doesn't stream when it dries and because it's neutral the car dries very quickly. I won't be trying any others as 1l is a tenner.

For £50 I would go for Dodo Juice Blue Velvet or you might be able to buy a Swisswax wax for that amount.
With BG though, the quality of the polishing will have the biggest impact on the overall look - so make sure you do a good job with that first!

 

[imprezaworks]

Or stick a wanted thread up in the detailing section and see if anyone has anything to sell

 

[Sj1782]

I know it needs a good machine polish which its booked in for end of July, can see swirl marks and I hate it! I don't trust my self to attempt it my self

 

[imprezaworks]

Should look great after that mate

 

[Brand86]

Yeah the wax is only the icing on the cake - the polish will make a bigger difference

It's not even the best DJ wax!

 

[leeds2592]

You're in/near Leeds aren't you?

If you've got a little pot knocking around and fancy trying the Vics Concours wax, give me a shout as I've got a pot in the garage which I can take some out of if you want.

Sorry I meant Purple Haze...but apart from Supernatural it is the best for dark coloured cars. I've used on a variety of shades between dark blue/grey/black and always impresses.

 

[Gally]

PH is the best one imo, SN gases way too much and non of them last that long anyway, lovely waxes. Avoid the pro range.

[Sj1782]
