Default Anyone tried the Turtle Black Wax

I bought some and I am very impressed with the shine. Don't know how it will hold up, but damn it looks good.

Been meaning to try some on my black Silverado. Was it hard to put on? Where did you purchase and how much? (Sorry to answer a question with a question!)

Works very well and not hard at all to use. Just be careful went pouring it out, it is kinda on the runny side. I recommend using rubber gloves because it will stain your hands. made a big difference on my bike.

I used it for the first time last night... wow it is awesome! My paint looks like you could dip a spoon in it! It just looks wet! I hope it last a while as it took over 4 hours to do. Follow the directions step by step... take your time and you will love it! I paid $20 for the kit at Auto Zone. Here is a pic of my paint right after I finshed it... notice the reflections in the paint...

Yes, I have mostly black motorcycles, cars and truck. I can't tell much difference. When I used it up I switched to Pledge!

If it works as well as it did on ICIBUY's ride then I am sold! That bike is sharp!

I used it on my last bike with good results. The best results were when I went through all three steps of the process. It will stain your hands though.

Tried the product on my black F150 (sample area on the hood) with no visible difference at all. Had a couple neighbors come over and I asked them if they could see anything different with the hood - nobody could find anything different nor could they see anything different when I told them which side had the black box applied.

Requested a refund via the Turtle wax website and received this response "We are very sorry to hear about your situation. Please call our Car Care Expert Hotline at 1-800 Turtle Wax from 7am to 7pm CST." I'll give the number a try.

I would not recommend the product.
