So I heard about this product on the internet and searched forever for reviews on it. I found a bunch of people posting on different forums asking how well people liked it. There were no responses so I decided to try it myself.
I drove on over to the local pep boys and picked it up for $20 plus 2 micro fiber towels.
I actually waxed my car on Saturday with some mothers wax (also clay bar) and I was not impressed whatsoever. Tons of swirl marks everywhere.
BTW this product is for black cars only!!!
All in all I think this worked pretty well. You will see the pictures.
The only downfall is it is a real pain in the ass to do and I will tell you why.
You have to put 4 different products on your car. So it's pretty much like waxing your car 4+times. So set aside at least an hour or two to do this.
You also need to do this in the shade and when the car is cool to the touch.
Another tip is to make sure you buy a minimum of five clothes to take this stuff off. Wear latex cloves too. This stuff is like ink and if you get it on your hands, it's not that hard to get off except when it gets under your fingers. The reason I tell you to buy plenty of towels is because the cloth turns black within a few feet of taking this stuff off. I had to keep flipping it like 100 times.
It actually got most of the swirl marks out of the paint. We will see how long it lasts for.
Here it is with mothers wax and then a wash. These are crappy quality pics, but if you look real close you can tell that the paint is kinda dull and the scratches etc..
After "Black Box"
Has anyone else tried this or am I the only one?
