Default Anybody Ever Use This Stuff

Turtle Wax Black Detailer. Thinkin' about it mainly for the swirls on my black car, but might try it on the black paint of my bike too.

swirls...the reason why I will never own a black vehicle.

As the song goes "Black Cars look better in the shade"

I use it all the time and like it a lot. it's just regular detailer spray that has a little black pigment in it.

I use it on my black and dark grey vehicles.

Turtle Wax sells a wax "kit" called the "Black Box" it is a 2 step wax system that includes a cleaner wax (first step) and then the actually wax (Step 2) and it comes with detail spray that is used in removing the wax and also touch up/cleaning detailing. The wax is black so it gives black paint jobs extra gloss and depth. I used it on my old GSXR and it really gave it the nice deep wet gloss look.

My friend uses it on his black show car and swears by it for quick detail. He said that it seemed to repel dust a bit as well!

I've used it. Still prefer Zymol detailer better. Also, Zymol's spray glaze does a good job covering swirls. But like already mentioned, the "black box" works great!
