    Re: Best wax for black car

    Just keep it swirl free and it won't matter what's on the paint. Most of the LSPs listed look the same anyways so it's not like anyone would tell the difference.

    As always, prep work previous to the wax application is the most important part of a great finish!
    In all honesty, you could apply collinite perfectly and the weather could still mess it up. So yeah it is hard to work with. Probably the last wax I would recommend to someone but that's just me.

    Powerlock and follow it up with Megs xpress wax. Sealant lasts for protection and the xpress wax has a great shine and easy as drying aid after maintenance washes.

    I've only tried 845 so I cannot truthfully speak on 915. They sure do have the longevity though.

    I needed a jack hammer to remove 476, then it went in the garbage.

    Re: Best wax for black car

    Since they have been mentioned, I have to add that I have used Collinite 845 and 476 with great success. Key is to apply them in THIN layers. I use a black pad and my buffer and make sure it goes on thin. Personally I remove them after every other panel. In other words, I do the hood and roof, then remove in that same order. Front door, back door, then remove in that same order. I don't let it sit dried for too long.

    476 I have and never really had a problem with. Always applied by hand. Just didn't have the longevity I read about.

    Re: Best wax for black car

    I can only apply 845 in the fall. I apply it so thin you can hardly see it, and maybe 2 small drops per panel. I apply it with a DA liquified. Meaning I heat the bottle up until it's a liquid and drop 2 maybe 3 small size drops to a black wax applicator pad.

    In the fall never any issues, but if I did the same process now in the summer I would have to wipe everything down again the next day.

    Don't really get the sweating issues most get, but it just feels oily not in a good way. After a week it's fine but still enough to aggravate me lol
