    Re: Black Wax

    Question, can this wax be used on a somewhat dark, metalic blue, like my "electric blue" Pontiac? Here is what it looks like. Thanks!

    It is just a cleaner/wax with a lot of polishing oils, nothing that can only be used on one color. Polishing oils help dark colors look good.

    I love this. Now I have a new wax for both my cars!

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

    Absolutely. You can use any wax on any colored vehicle, we just formulated this one with some extra polishing oils to enhance darker colors while the White Wax has more cleaners to brighten up lighter colors. Which one you truly need on your particular car is up to you. This wax does have some cleaning ability (nowhere near as much as the White Wax does, though) so you wouldn't want to apply this over a sealant or other wax as it would remove most, if not all, of that previous wax.

    Re: Black Wax

    Black wax sounds a bit like Gold Class that always did such a phenomenal job on black as well being rich in oils.

    I think it's pretty exciting that Meguiar's introduces these products and then clearly explains the thinking behind the white wax and black wax. We aren't left wondering the secret to each. Thanks Meguiar's! That information pushes me to buy both, otherwise, I might be confused. Meguiar's keeps it simple and easy to understand!

    Re: Black Wax

    I have a feeling this will make polishing up the 2003 black Denali I recently purchased a whole lot easier.

    Well done!!!

    Re: Black Wax

    For those who want to top BW with another wax....why?

    If you go down the 2-step path then UP followed by your fave wax.

    Sounds to me as BW combines UP and wax into one convenient step.

    The idea is that a detail covering all the steps would involve clean/polish/wax/wax.

    So would be comparing:

    1. Ult. Polish
    2. Wax
    3. Wax

    or

    1. a cleaner/wax
    2. Wax
