Best wax for a black car. 2006 GT

[justinsstang]

Finally warm outside and I'm getting to move in to the house I just bought this coming Wednesday, so I'll be installing my M90 supercharger and then waxing it after I get it put on =)

Curious what you guys use on the UA black, if it matters. Also I have several paint chips I'm noticing recently, should I bother putting any kind of touch up paint on it or will it just look worse xD

Thanks!

I only use Adams wax, not a cleaner wax, so I do it often without worry. It works great on every color I've tried. I glaze then wax, all with Adams

www.surfcitygarage.com They are coming out with a pro wax that looks like its going to be worth a try. I have used most all of their products on my shelby and have 0 complaints.

I use chemical guy's black light with either black wax or pete's 53. Surf City has some good products for being a mainstream product.

 

[BadHabit2Break]

I use CG Blacklight and Lava.

^This.

I've used a lot of products over time and have stopped at Adams. Been using it for almost 2 years now and I've never come close to the results I get with them.

Is the paint in good condition? If so, I would go with a non filler wax or sealant. If it has scratches, try CG's Blacklight/Lava combo, has some good fillers and great shine.

If you get wax/sealant in the paint chips they may look white and become more obvious. If you can, fill them in prior, let them dry then wax. If not, just use like a q-tip or toothpick and you should be able to remove the leftover stuff easily.

I'm a big CG fan. I've tried their "Black" wax and Blacklight. Both good products. But I found that I was able to get the same/better shine much easier with their V07 spray sealant followed up by their Vintage Series Speed Wipe quick detailer. The real key to any black car is prep. For me I don't drive the car daily or in the rain and it stays garaged, so I can bypass the clay bar. If I have any light scratches at all I take my PC and buff them out with some Menzerna P4500 before spraying on the V07. I'm very happy with this combo.

Honestly man as super slow said it should be based on your paint. For a paint that needs work black light or auto finesse triple will fill the defects. Then wax on top. I use AF Triple in my engine bay for the ease of use and it's awesome with "filling". I like Petes 53 on black has a deep wet look. I also love AF Illusion it kind of depends on your price range 50 vs 120.

I use Turtle Wax for Black Cars.

 

[007GTCS]

Meguiars 105, then 205, chemical guys blacklight 2 coats, and chemical guys jet seal 2 coats, then wiped down with v07

 

[superslow86]

Looks good 007GTCS but the JS layered on top of the BL is overkill. The BL does not have a long life and the JS cannot bond to the paint so once the BL wears off the JS will go along with it. BL has a better shine IMO then JS but JS has a longer life/durability. Just trying to help save you a few bucks since JS isn't cheap.

Have been using "wet obsession" wax for the past 8 yrs--would not trade it.

This was my car after a full correction with Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection topped with a coat of Pete's 53.

Celeste is a good wax but there are other waxes out there. For that 100 dollar mark vs 170 you can still get some very high quality waxes. For around 100 you have Zymol Glasur and AF Illusion. More affordable you have Pete's 53, zymol carbon, CG 5050 for all around 50ish.

More then likely OP isn't going to spend 170 on a pot of wax

I'm picking up a pot of Celeste Dettaglio, pot of purple haze pro & a pot of blue velvet pro for $120

Yea I know. And I know who exactly your getting them from, trust me we chatted. I'm not saying celeste is a bad it's not its a very good wax but to buy it new it's 170 not many people are going to spend that new. Unless someone is willing to let it go like your instance then it won't be cheaper.

 

[NaS197]

Correct. I like Pete's 53. Use that a lot. Just looking for new stuff now. Damn this addiction

They don't have UA black =( Looking for a 2006 GT
After watching the demo, that looked amazing! I have a lot more than I thought when I just looked closely yesterday. I also have several small dings... any trick to getting those out?

Anyone know if drcolorchip can mix UA black if I ask?

Edit: Oh the bottom line has UA/M6373/M6877. "Black Ebony". It looks green though where it shows the color... Think that's it though.
