Default Turtle Wax Black Box
If you have a black bike this is the stuff you need to make your bike look wet! I've been using Glare and really don't have a problem with but I like to try anything new. I really didn't expect the results that I got with this Black Box stuff. It wasn't hard to apply or remove and the finished product was unbelieveable. There is not one spider web or scuff visable. I don't know how long it will last but the initial shine is perfect. I've always heard claims that this one or that one will make your bike look wet and now, I believe, I FINALLY found product that does. It's not unreasonably priced either. I got mine from Amazon.com for $23.00 and some change. I just wish they'd make some "Red Box" for my truck!

Can you use it on a two tone black...such as black and silver or if you have a different color pinstripe? Will it discolor your paint if it's not black?

Black Box is actually black Filler/Dye product and no it cannot be used on any color other than black.
