Copied from Meguiar's Online. (I just did this car a few days ago and thought I'd see if I could copy and paste it here and it worked)

So here is one of my good customers that had alot of RIDS on his beautiful CTSV that I'm guessing his former detailer didn't care about.

For his monthly detail I chose to polish this with Black Wax so I can make a post for the member her on MOL to see what you can do with this wax and a DA.

So this wasn't a paint correction or even a paid polish but it was a beautiful day and I said let's do it for my fellow MOL members!

I waterless washed with Aquanil, prepped with Speedy Prep Towel and Black Wax on a yellow pad and my Flex.
This car needed M105 and 6 hrs of polishing but that's for another day when I'll get paid for it.
So the paint isn't perfect but it is beautiful!

Looks like the responsible thing to do in this neighborhood is to NOT USE WATER and pollute the ocean. (I'll protect your environment little Dolphins! If you check the links on my web page you find the Pacific Marine Mammal Rescue Center's link that I donate to.)
I LOVE MY OCEAN!

I used alot of product on this car, well to me I did. This was my prep amount and then I use about the same amount per area I worked.

I use two different lights. The Xenon of course and then my Stanly for a whiter light

So someone said Black Wax had pigment in it. It doesn't. Here it is on the lights and what my pad looked like when I was using.

OMG! I MESSED IT ALL UP! JK, just the dry wax.

The finished product of my labor. About and two hours of actual polishing.

Even with the paint defects still there this car looks wet, deep and dark!

You can see the RIDS but this car looks great!

You can see some of the defects but it's not noticeable while looking at this awesome shine.

Nice reflection of the beautiful neighborhood

No I didn't pollute the ocean today! Your welcome Mother Earth. I'm doing my part, and you should too.
So I'm telling you, YOU can get this kind of shine without using 40 gals of water and polluting the earth. Oh and the water going into the drain is from my customer's neighbor washing his car the "old fashion way"

Nice hood refection of the Detail van that got this job done.

It's like a mirror.

So you to can get this kind of results with a DA and the new Black Wax by Meguiar's.
I did this car in a simple matter so you, the average enthusiast, can see what you can do with these awesome tools that Meguiar's provides you Car Crazy people!
 
When Megs takes the time to develop a new product, you can be sure its going to perform very well under just about every condition imaginable.

Other than the tube container, I have read nothing but good things about this product. Those pictures surely attest to that.
 
I didn't realize Black Wax was an AIO, great results
 
Great looking results from your efforts, OP! :props:


Just a thought:
Even though it contains a lesser amount of Meguiar's: "TS-Oils"...
For a little more "cleaner-polishing-action"...Try Meguiar's White Wax-AIO!

Thank you all for your kudos, I try hard to be a great detailer.

What speed on the ROP?

Did you test with different pads?
3-4 no on the different pads.
I did this as a "noob" would. Put product on pad. Rub on car for a few sec and move on.
As you can see the results were great just acting like a noob. I could have done a better job but I didn't want to go all "pro" on it.

Thank you very much!
yes the white wax has more cleaning power in it but the Black Wax has more of the things Black needs. just look at the depth and glossiness of the Black Wax. White wax can be used on black paint but I wouldn't recommend it just because it doesn't have the "stuff" black needs to look good.
 
Sweet results! I just got the white tube. I can't wait to try it out now!
 
im actually very impressed that black waxed filled that many swirls, any clue on durability? it wasnt that good last year on the last TNOG at megs facility
 
Think of it like a carnuba wax, like Gold Class. This is what Stoops said
