Carnauba waxes with a high oil content are great for blacks :)

Any wax or sealant should do. Depends on how much time you want to devote to detailing you car. Carnauba waxes do not last bery long.. here is Australia I see maybe 2-3 weeks out of a carnauba in summer. So if your climate is milder canaubas are an option (unless you like waxing ever month like...

Just no waxes or sealants. You want the paint to cure properly before adding a layer of protection. Like Mike said, gold class is a gentle car wash that should be fine. I also suggest meguiars soft wash gel. Just no wash and wax washes... the layer of protection left behind is questionable but...

Oh wow youre lucky! Never used products from any of those lines. Might have to look into them one day. Yeah thats for sure! The first time I used theyre tyre shine I applied way too much and it slung off onto the paint :(

Youre welcome :) What polish and compound did you settle with? Yeah... if youre going to order stuff from autogeek make sure you make it worth your while and pick up a few things. Ive just placed an order for some waxes. Time to see how long it takes! I usually go with waxit.com.au, theyre...

Ah good to see a fellow sydneysider :) I recently purchased a shinemate DA from waxit.com.au . Im pretty happy with the machine I currently use it with lake county pads and ultimate compound and ultimate polish. I have a black mitsubishi lancer with soft paint ( comparing it to my mums...

I havent had sweating (cloudy haze a day or so after the original wipe off) issues with collinite waxes ( I have all three). But with beauty waxes, especially swissvax concorso, Ive had sweating issues on very hot days where temps have gone over 30C. I understand that black paint can heat up to...

Nice :)

Thats great news! Ill have to try this on my uncles car.... its been sitting outside its whole life, rarely washed or taken care of with disgusting water spots all over the glass. Good on you for looking into this.

QD and the a spray wax of your choice :)

The temps were definitely 100F +

Yeah Im located in Australia, we're are going the scorch of summer :( I feel your pain RPM its been very hot and humid... for all I know my basement ambient temp could be around 30C but it feels cooler because outside its 40C .. Update: after starting from a clean slate on the dark blue hood...

Ill second that thought :D

Hmmm never tried using UC as a glass cleaner... I have used zaino glass polish before with great success :)

I might try it on my mothers car. Its dark blue. Got plenty of bottles of megs quik detailer that I use for clay lube. Like I said in my first post, not about to give up on this wax ! :)

I'll agree with you on that point Mark... I found 476 much easier to remove too. Still had the same issue with the oily swirls. :( Its interesting because Ive worked with waxes with a much higher oil content, namely souvran and swissvax samurai but I never had any residual oils left on the...

Definitely do not need to load up the apllicator again before half a panel (larger panels) is covered in wax, When I do load the applicator its just one light wipe across the cake of wax... which is plenty to cover half a panel.

Besides the washing, everything was done in my basement garage which was cool, I use poorboys bold n bright with a MF cloth for tyre shine, and my applicators are always clean before use :) I may be applying too much but I could have sworn the wax was applied micro thin. I dampen the applicator...

A bit boutique but swissvax samurai on my black mistubishi always turned out great so did souvran :)

I wash my MFs cold with an extra rinse cycle to get rid of any residual detergents.
