Black turtle wax
#12
Indeed, some brands are better performing than others. But the shine I got out of turtle wax black box was hella good. Once I run out, I'll look into Meguiar's and some other brands recommended to me, but until one of those provides me with a better result, I'll definitely defend the use of black box.

Have fun with your "hella good" shine for two weeks until you run back to the store and spend another $20 on more "turtle ****"
I personally preferred spending a little more money up front for proper supplies to ELIMINATE my imperfections, and not just hide them Then again I also had the time to research, the money to spend, and the motivation and ability to do something about it, so I guess if you don't possess those traits you can continue to spray and wipe your so called "wax."

Actually, I only used about 1/4 of the bottle on the first application. So maybe that will be another $20 in two months or so. Don't see any problems there.
In any case, like I said - once I run out, I will peruse other brands. My new job starts in September, when perhaps I will be able to afford a more permanent solution. Thanks though.

Idk where u get 2 weeks from, ive seen several cars use it & still have the same shine over a month later & some have real bad paint, i used it on my camaro & it lasted all summer, but all the haters i can see are meguiars nuts which is crap imo & way over priced for what u get
Regardless, I personally would rather see people do a proper correction and be done. Assuming they do everything correctly or have it done correctly and spend a little time maintaining, there would be no need to do it for a long time. If anything I'm just trying to help out. Sure a black box would be alright for a quick detail or last minute before a show, but every few weeks, no thank you
And talk about overpricing, I'd say some over-the-counter $20 black shoe polished labeled as wax would be overpriced for what you get, which is a temporary fix. Why not put that money into good supplies and dedicate a few days to paint correction?

Just saying I used miguires and it looked good but then used black box and it looked fantastic. Miguires is **** compared to black box. and to fix my scratches I need a new paint job so this is best I can do. Im not painting my car and chevy does not make the intimidator badges so I cant sand it all anyway. Yea it takes 2 hrs to make your car look perfect but when waxing your car is what you do to relax and release some dopamine then Its fine.

Woah meguairs isn't crap. The reason there so expensive is because they no what their doing. From what I no turtle wax doesn't have a professional line, but surprise meguairs does.
Any yes it still looks this good and this was almost 2 months ago.
To add: wax dosnt do anything bu protect the paint. It's the polish that deeps and shines the paint.
