I have a perfect wax for you Vin, it's called "don't be lazy" ha! Just lift the hood and hatch and open doors and remove the excess......no white stuff! Haha!

Lol, u know what, never tried that! Seriously, I will do that at next waxing, thanks smarty pants

Try the Turtle Wax "Black Box" Made just for black cars. Three step process but works really good.

I started using Meguiars Gold Class wax when I had my black coupe. I have not used anything since. I have used it almost daily at work for 12 years now, its hard to beat. It goes on easy, you let it haze and it comes off easy. It does not leave white residue on moldings and trim like typical waxes. I use 3m microfiber clothes to remove it, they work a lot better than a rag or a old t-shirt for removing wax.

Great tips, thanks peeps

I agree, Meguiars products have always worked well on my projects for me.

Does anyone ever hand glaze the cars before they wax them? I've been told its helps a lot on black cars.

I had a friend that did that to his car, never knew why

I have used a clay bar, seems to have helped.

Hand glaze is typically used to remove swirl marks that are left after machine polishing.

Try this.

I've tried that stuff on my Lightning...it looks good but is kind of greasy, meaning you'll see signs of it left over after hand buffing. Only way I found to get rid of it is to use an orbital buffer on it after initial buffing...espectially on a black vehicle.

I also second and third the Meguair's stuff...love the fact that it does not leave a powder behind, but you will go through microfiber towels, as what doesn't get left behind has to go somewhere! Need to keep a clean surface on the towel to buff properly by hand!

I want to try the "Black Box". wil haev to use it on the Lightning...with all of the clear peeling off of my Cobra right now it won't make a bit of difference until I get the paint job!

I'm in the same situation ur in tliss as far as peeling, mine has yet to peel, but the spider web cracks show, just want a good product that doesn't leave any film behind, so think I'm going with McGuires

Here's another great polish -

Don't need to order thru amazon. It's available at most local auto parts stores.

I used the stuff for over 15 years on my '89 GT (black) and it kept the paint looking real nice.
