    Polish and Waxes for dark colored cars question? Do they work any better than others?

    Has anyone actually done comparisons on dark vehicles to be able to tell (I know, subjectively here) that one product works better than another? Example 3M Perfect-It- Foam Polishing Pad Glaze, or the Black Waxes, etc.

    On my wife's dd black Acura MDX I currently use Megs 105/205, Megs #7, Megs ULW or Megs UFF depending upon my mood and I believe the car looks beautiful.

    On my dd silver Sienna I will use Mothers Cleaner/Wax every 3-4 months with a white polishing pad and I am perfectly ok with that. Although I did pick me up some Mckee's 360 recently, and will be buying some HD Speed as well...just can't seem to stop.

    Typically products for dark/black cars have more polish in them (to reduce or remove swirl marks) and products for white/light colored cars have more compound for cleaning in them and making them "brighter"

    Sounds good to me. The way I see it is use a high quality product and one should be able to obtain the results wanted.
