Default Turtle wax black box ?

So have been reading the reviews and there pretty postive. Ive only washed my bike since I got it with the mr clean and dry with mf towels. Been using purple slice for touch up, figure it about time for a wax, I have alot of swirls. So do I need and thing else but the black box, can I apply all the steps with mf towels.

It comes with 2 applicators for use with the cleaner & carnuba. You need quite a few MF towels also. I just used the black box on mine, worked good. Seems like a long process, but it's worth it.

I'd like to know this too. Asked the same question in another thread, but didn't get an answer.

I know this is an old post, but I'm hoping to revive it...can you use this kit if your bike has another color (like my orange) or should it only be used on the black?

if you have a decal or sumthen like stripes you can go over the other color and it won't change much at all

I used the BLACK BOX on my 07 and was very happy with the results. From what I've read, this is a "filler" wax that fills the small scratches and swirls in the clear coat. For $20, it's well worth every penny.

I sold my 07 but I found a great use for this wax. I use it on the black plastic inner fairing. It's amazing how it cleans, shines, and protects the plastic.
