    New 2012 Ford F 150

    My new truck is set to arrive next week. It is Tuxedo black metallic. After a good clay barring, What wax would make the Metallica black paint really pop.
    Thanks in advance

    It's personal preference really, but I and many others here think Ultimate Wax looks amazing on black.

    ..But any Meguiars wax will make it look beautiful if it's prepped right.

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. 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.

      I have a 2010 F150 with the same paint. Today I used clay, UP, then NXT 2.0. The paint is looking real nice!! I used an DA polisher for both products with the finishing pad.

        Beautiful truck. My dad has a tux black F150.
        Get some ultimate protectant. Those trucks have plenty of plastic and rubber. Brake dust barrier wouldnt be a bad idea either.

          It is a great color. Ford uses glass instead of metallic flake, which is why that color can have such incredible depth when properly prepped.

          I have that color on my Euro-spec Fiesta and it was really something in direct sun.
