Turtle Wax Black Box
As I am new here, I don't mean to post any off-topic-non-Meguiar's-questions, but I am curious as to any credentials this product may have... I am sceptical of tinted waxes and it seems more like a cover up than a true solution like the Meg 5 step process... Does anyone have any feedback regarding this new product? If you are not familiar, it is a kit that contains a "black" pre cleaner, a "black wax" and a "black spray detailer that is also used to remove the pre-cleaner. Again, as someone fairly new to a complete process, I haven't seen a lot on the Turtle Wax site regarding the important steps of cleaning/polishing. They seem to offer a lot of wax options/ice, but nothing that truly sets up the finish... I had to ask since I have a new black vehicle and this product seems to target this color of vehicle. I am pretty sure I will stick with ordering the 5-step products from Meguiar's, but just wanted an honest opinion on this new development.

Re: Turtle Wax Black Box
Meguiars is big competition for these competitors, so they try to be like Meguiars.
I think the black is to try to be like UQD etc.
I have never tried that product or ever heard of it.
Although I tried Ice and was very upset at the waste of money it was.
Although on a positive note I found Meguiars and the Spray Detailer from Ice is not that bad.Joel

Re: Turtle Wax Black Box
I tried a couple of the ICE products on my moms 4Runner but i feel the ICE line is WAY too overpriced. The ICE car wash and liquid claybar need to come down in terms of price, especially the liquid claybar which requires a pass with normal clay afterwardsNick

Re: Turtle Wax Black Box
As with Nicks (Tuck91) experience liquid clay bar did not work.
There was a thread on it a while back.
They liquid clay bar did not remove anything more than a wash would have.Joel

Re: Turtle Wax Black Box
I have used the Liquid Clay Bar a couple of times. IME, it certainly removes more than what a wash would, but it does not work nearly as well as an ordinary clay bar. It really just seems to be a mild paint cleaner. See OctaneGuy's review of the product.Swirls hide in the black molecular depths, only waiting for the right time to emerge and destroy your sanity.

Re: Turtle Wax Black Box
It's perfectly fine to bring up any non-Meguiar's product for discussion as long it complies with our forum rules and the product is discussed in a way that avoids bashing the product, the company and any person.Originally posted by Vader View Post
As for the idea of a colored wax, since most cars have a clear coat finish it's hard to understand how it's going to benefit the paint. Joe did post in the thread linked on the first page of this thread how he used a colored wax to his customer's benefit one time to mask rock chips on a black car...
Someone needs to take one for the team... then post their review...

Re: Turtle Wax Black Box
My guess is he meant that there's an association between the color of the bottles as UQD comes in a black bottle.Originally posted by Alfisti View Post
Just a guess...
