Who makes the best black wax?

No one's had experience with the chemical guy's black wax?
 
Couldn't agree more with custmsprty's recommendation of BlackFire's BlackICE. I just used it for the first time two weeks ago on a freshly repainted bc/cc paint job. I corrected the paint with some BOSS Fast Correcting Cream, then jeweled it with McKee's Jeweling Wax, and finally topped it with BlackICE. I know, I know, this post is worthless without pictures but you will have to trust me this is a great combination.

Just read mike@dedicatedperfection's post here regarding BlackICE and you will be convinced too:

This is after a coat of CG Black

Just a cell phone pic.
Another one at the very end of last year. I love the wax and I tried so many over the years. I usually top it over a sealant (jetseal or WG).

Car is back to stock now so I don't have many photos but the same LSP is it it again this year, stuff lasts a long time.

After my experience with CG Lava "goop" I wouldn't even consider going there. Especially with Do Do Purple Haze and the price point of the two products. Purple Haze is a great wax for dark vehicles(and it's on sale at AG right now)

I have the entire line up of Do Do Waxes and they are high quality waxes.
 
Might have to give the blackfire black ice a shot. I'm just curious to see if there is actually a difference. Currently I use wolfgang paint sealer 3.0 topped with collinite 915 with great results.
 
Just get Collinite 845 and call it a day!

On black the differences are minimal. I'm convinced on black it doesn't matter. As long as the finish is perfect,swirl free a black car doesn't need much. I tried so many different waxes over the years. Others will probably disagree with me but that's ok.

Hmmm...so does white wax enhance white paint?

Currently, I'm with Jeremy1976, Collinite 845 after a good cleaning with KLASSE all in one.
 
Megs #26 is the beast for black from what I've used.

Any carnauba wax that has lots of oils will be good also because the oils will darken the black
 
Any wax will only look good if it's on top of a polished surface. IMHO, the difference in the appearance is minuscule from different waxes. I saw no difference using Meg's 26 or UPW..

I say use a good wax and enjoy.
 
IMO, black is the quintessential blank canvas. If you want a really shiny look you can get that with Zaino. If you want a deep subdued look you can get that with Souveran. And you can fall anywhere in between with other waxes, sealants or combinations of both. Black will do it all.

So the real answer to this question is 'it depends on what you think is best looking'.
 
I understand everyone saying that any other wax will be fine. I'm going in to this as skeptical as anyone can be. Currently I have Wolfgang paint sealer topped with Collinite 915 on there. I'm really looking to see it for myself so that I can form an opinion, and when someone asks me if I have it I can pull it out and say yea, this is some of the best stuff you can buy. I'm looking at it more from an R&D stand point.

So what exactly are the metrics that
you looking to increase the value of;
or raise the profile therein: for those
someones' attitudes/conclusions/etc.
as it pertains to detailing and LSPs?

I've had multiple people ask me if I have black wax. I want to be able to apply said "black wax" when asked. I want a product that I can stand behind that I've personally tested * and approve of * before I apply it.


Some of the general public has the opinion of * right or wrong * marketing gimmick or not * for what ever reason "black wax is the best for black cars" "how do you not have black wax" "if black wax is the best, and he doesn't have black wax he must not be the best" Currently I have no opinion, because I've never used it. I came here to ask the forum their opinion, and which product is considered the best that says "black wax" on the can. Since I own 2 black vehicles I'd like to try it, and form an opinion on the very best available product.

I hope this answers your question.

Simply this....

#blackwaxmatters
 
IMHO...

•As a professional:
It's part and parcel of their duties
to properly educate the general
public (GP)...some that already are,
or, some that may become customers
in the future...about "colored waxes".


•Since you seem to be on-the-fence
regarding this particular subject matter:
-Then properly educating the GP may be
a difficult task.

That Dodo Juice test doesn't lie.

Colored waxes can make subtle changes to how your paint looks temporarily.

Why it matters if the car is painted via a bc/cc or just a single stage method makes little sense to me. The wax is sitting on the surface -regardless of its sitting on the cc or a single stage coat.

Either way, your eyes are looking through a wax film to see the color - just like sunglasses/eye glasses don't have to touch your eyeballs to alter your view.
