    Re: Black Wax

    Remember guys, there is some cleaning ability in this wax, not just the polish. To put it in perspective with the White Wax and Cleaner Wax, this graphic should help:



    You can see that both of these new waxes offer a lot more protection than Cleaner Wax does, but White gives a whole lot more cleaning ability while Black gives a lot more polishing ability.

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.

    Re: Black Wax

    We want to be sure and point out a couple of things about these two new waxes:

    1 - There are no dyes or colorants of any kind in these waxes. We expect that to be a concern with the Black Wax especially, but it is nothing like that other black wax on the market.

    2 - These are sort of like paste waxes in a tube; think about the delivery of toothpaste from a tube and you're really close. The tube is a metalized material so you can roll it up from the bottom, just like a toothpaste tube (which you all roll up from the bottom, right????). The wax itself has a consistency somewhere between what you expect from a true paste and a true liquid, but once you get it on a pad, either a hand pad or a DA pad, it spreads like warm butter. Both will dry to a light haze quite quickly and wipe off is very easy.

    Now if we could only continue this graphic with more Meguiar's products!

    Lets see NXT polish & protect ratio next to these. Lets see Gold Class polish and protect ratio (and bit of cleaner?) next to these.

    Love this diagram. If you finished the wax line with this diagram, it could really give us a new way to think of all the products!

    Re: Black Wax

    Nice... A wax designed for dark colors... Almost thought "Ok, just when I thought Meguiar's doesn't believe in waxes specifically for dark paint, they come up with a black wax, another wax with dyes that could be a mess to apply and have no durability".. Being an owner of a black car (yes, it is a privilage and a curse at the same time), this new black wax if it does a good job with those unsilghtly swirls is a welcome addition to my arsenal..
