This is a Souveran fourm need I say anymore:D
 
heh i figured someone would throw that out there. lemme rephrase my question a little bit...what's a good product that doesnt cost $80 that makes the black look good :D i dont mind spending the money on detailing supplies, but wax...i just cant bring myself to do it, not on my daily driver.
 
As far as black goes I think the best thing you can do to make in look great is do a good job polishing it. Collinite #915 or Pinnacle Signiture Series would look good on black flake.

You can probably get 30 application from a tub. If you waxed every month it will last you over 2 yrs. 3 bucks a month to have your truck dripping wet sounds good to me.
 
I used natty's blue and SSII on black until I got souveran on sale. I think Natty's are good subs if you dont have the $$ and are waiting on another sale.

There are other good ones as these guys mention, but tough to beat what you are using also,IMO.
 
A good polishing to remove swirls/imperfections if any would do the most toward looks than anything. Top that with MaxWax and there you go. Maybe for a little more depth glaze b4 you wax, but after you polish it out.
 
Sizzling Shine Souveran Kit on sale in the special values area, not that is what black looks for in a kit !
 
I just detailed a Dodge 2500 3/4 ton with turbo diesel -BLACK, I washed with DG car wash, clayed with Clay Magic, polished with Menzerna IP with a LC orange pad and finished with a coat of Zaino Z5. The owner was so pleased he asked me to do his wife's Yukon.

We are all waiting for the pictures!!
 
I got the pictures along with 3-4 more details and Christmas at the in-laws all still in the camera. I've been too busy with 2 jobs to do much of anything. But, weather looks like rain so I might have a Saturday off!
