Best Wax For Black Cars

[snowskate]

My brother's got a black '89 944turbo in DC and wants a good wax for black paint for Xmas.
What do you recommend?
He mentioned I could get him a wax with black enhancers like the colored Turtle Wax stuff as a last resort before considering a hood / nose repaint.
Is colored Turtle Wax good enough or is there something definitely better?

Thanks.

I love the look of Poorboys Nattys blue on black.

My fav carnuabas for black:

Pinnacle Souveran
Nattys Blue

I was looking at that wax, I really want my black paint to pop. Is the Natty Blue long lasting? Is it easy to use by hand?

[BigJimZ28]

this is a trick question!

I would look in to a good polish or a good person to detail the car
if he is thinking repaint, no wax is going to help
but a machine buff could!

on black I like trade secret & natty blue(but only after a good polish!)

Yes the Natty's is pretty durable. It goes on easy and comes off easy with no residue. You can't beat the bubble gum smell either!

both posts above are from guys that know their stuff . . . and they are both right . .

one thing i would like to include in this discussion is Hi -Temps Black Wax, or top of the lines Black Velvet

Both are carnuba paste waxes formulated mainly for black cars. I know many people are skeptical of colored formulations . . . but these will do a wonderful job (not as warm or deep as souveran, estate glazes or 50/50) at providing the looks you want, but because the formualtion is black any residue which may build up in paint chips or other imperfections are not highlighted. I personally have the hi temp midnight express liquid cleaner/sealant (like poly seal but black) and the black carnuba paste.

check them out at Black Wax

Black Liquid Wax

I have found that these products make black cars just a little eaiser. i will say again however, that this combo will not give the identical warmth and depth of a higher end carnuba paste.

good luck . . .

That black wax looks interesting...

I would agree with the above posts..

Souveran
Natty's Blue

and I'd also add..

Meguiar's #26

all depending on what you want to spend..

You might consider, Max Wax,Clearkote Carnauba Mose Wax,and one of the most 'forgotten' waxes IMO,Harly Carnauba Wax,which is fabulous on black.

My two favorites on black are definitely:

Natty's Blue
#26

I just ordered some #16 im interested to see how that will wind up looking compared to the other two mentioned above!?
