    2006 Cadillac STS-V Black Wax Experience

    Now remember first off that I am just an anal retentive amateur. Not a Pro like most of you here.

    Now on to the good.


    I have always used Meguiars so I picked up a tube of Black Wax and all I can say is LOVE THIS STUFF!!

    Previously I used M105 as needed, M205 followed by M7, and finally M21. This time I got a better finish with just M205 and Black Wax and spent SEVERAL HOURS LESS on it.

    First time I ever detailed this car shortly after I bought it I spent around 32 hours on it (Told you I was anal).

    Anyway:

    The Black Wax came off easier than anything I have ever used. The results are awesome!

    I highly recommend this to anyone.

    Here is what the whole car looked like when I started:


    All I did was was wash, (NO Clay) a lite M205 Polish with a PC 7424XP and 6.5" LCC White pad. Then the Black Wax applied with a PC 7424XP on a 6.5" LCC Black pad.

    Here is what she looks like now. I will take some better shots tomorrow.






    The pics really do not do it justice. It looks deep and wet. It darkened the finish quite a bit. I don't care if it has fillers or not I am happy with the finish and it is better than what I got before.

    Ouch - looks like sandpaper was used to dry the car.



    Nice job

    Car looks great. Since this is also a light polish/ cleaner wax would it be pointless to use a glaze or sealant under the Black Wax??

    Nice! My next daily driver will definitely be an STS-V. Then I can turn my CTS-V into my project/stroker car.

    Looking good! I have to give Black wax a shot.

    Maintaining a black car here in AZ is a full time job.
