Poorboys black hole glaze

I have had no luck with this product filling minor imperfections. It has some use cleaning polish residue off the paint surface before applying sealant. So in that respect, I suppose it "helps" the finish.
 
How are you applying Black Hole?

When using a DA I found if you didn't work the product long enough, you didn't get any filling. The first couple spots I tried, I simply spread it on and buffed it off with no real results. When I made several passes over the area and worked the product until it nearly disappeared as the instructions call out, I noticed the filling to be quite good.
 
I used da polisher with black flat lake country pad. My car is new, but it is black and I thought it did look deeper and darker. I worked it in until it started to disapear and then wiped off. What I thought was so easy is how well it easily removed. Real easy to use product. I haven't tried it by hand yet.
 
I've applied Black Hole by machine (PC) and CG hexlogic BLUE pad. Worked a section til the glaze was virtually gone. Easy wipe off, and stellar results.

 
I can't get Blackhole to fill either...not even mild swirls. Maybe it doesn't work in hard paints.

Hmmm. Trying to think.... I think I got decent results on a red Porsche that was sprayed in PPG with a hard clear.

I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work on hard paint. Swirls are swirls, I would think. Correcting/Removing them would be a different story. Yeah, I can't say for sure.
 
Honestly I found between White Diamond,BlackHole and Megs A1216 Liquid Cleaner Wax, the Cleaner Wax filled better. I think Cleaner Wax is a very underrated product.
 
I've always had great success using Poorboy's Blackhole (and White Diamond on lighter colors)

Below is a (bad) cell pic I snapped of a red VW Jetta that arrived for a detail - I had [3 weeks previously] applied the Blackhole on a test spot to ensure the customer would be satisfied with the outcome (paint readings didn't warrant paint correction)

3 weeks later and you could still see the improvement it had made....

Here is the link to the detail with 'after' pics of the completed car http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/100248-red-jetta-vr6-detailed-lawrence.html
 
Lawrence have you tried Cleaner Wax in a similar application?
 
Yes, but obviously with the cleaner wax there is *some* cut to it, so I am not sure it's really a 'fair' comparison to start with.... my results have shown it to be able to impart more gloss to the paint, but as I said I think this more down to the fact that the cleaner wax actually removes some below surface defects...I may be wrong though?

I used it on my Deep Black Pearl VW paint. That paint is really hard and the Black Hole worked great. For me, the key was the working time. The longer I worked it the better it filled the swirls.

Agree.
 
Well, I have to admit, that Jetta test spot looks pretty good. One problem I might have with Black Hole is I have worked fairly diligently on my car, and over the years, the finish has gotten pretty good. Lots of M205 and jeweling with Menzerna (can't keep track of the new names, probably something like the new SF3800). So when I do a test spot with the Black Hole, there is no difference. Might work better on cars with more microswirls.
