it seriously depends on the condition of your paint. i have used it on a pickup of mine that was pretty faded and scratched and it worked wonders. use it on something that already has good paint and your not gonna notice a difference

No "wax" will do magic. That stuff is designed to "fill in " swirls and imperfections and just cover up the mess. It really depends on how far you want to go and how much time you want to put in. If you want paint correction you need tools like this.
Then you can get results like this. This is a direct reflection of the hood. And yes it is a black car.
I haven't done the Street Glide yet but it's on my winter list. When I do I'll post some before and afters. Like someone already mentioned go to Autogeek and read. You can learn a lot about the proper way to correct and maintain your paint.

Ive used the black box on my streetglide twice now and really like the outcome. It leaves a nice deep glow type of shine to it. Just make sure u got plenty of microfiber clothes. I use one for each different step. And one to wipe everything after im done just to make sure its clean and streak free. The detailer in it dies streak but if your only applying that use 2 clothes 1 for initial wipedown after ts sprayed and 1 after that to remove the streaks. The whole kit works good at even just removing bug splatters from the fairing and the ocassional boot scuff on the saddle bags lids. Give it a wirl you wont regret it imho
Very hard finish. Looks very good on a black bike.
However, if you have some additional money and a little more time, but not much more, buy a Porter Cable dual action buffer, some foam pads, Maguirs products or similar, and go to some youtube sites and learn how to really bring out the shine of a black bike. But Black Box does a great job and leaves more time for riding.

Looks really good 2011FXDC. My black bike has gotten complements when clean but does not shine like that car. With a bikes paint so confined around bars, shocks, seat, etc I assume you need to remove as much seat and bags as possible to get to the surfaces. Any tips for doing tight areas that are harder to access?
