Anyone ever try this on their black cars?

I've tried Wolfgangs Fusion and was not impressed at all.
Thank you.

I'm going to have to try this... currently i just use Wolfgang Concourse Series Paint Sealant and then add a layer of Meguair's carnauba wax on top. I get a lot of praise for the condition of the paint with this combo. and my car is 23 years old with original paint.

I hate turtlewax and always used Miguers for all my cars but... Black Box was the bomb I thought intill Meguers came out with their new stuff which has black dyes etc. its in a tube forget the name right now but
its the best I have seen and doesn't hurt the wallet.

same here everyone tells me wow your paint is amazing so it did its job.

but I would like to try the expensive stuff one day just to see I may try this one.

thank for sharing

Seems like the optical fillers/enhancers (which are in automobile waxes) are stained/dyed black, in this offering.

It's also stated that this is a synthetic/polymer and natural/wax combo product. Generally speaking, offerings in the marketplace are either one (former) or the other (latter), but not both.

FWIW, a the most reasonable combination that produces the most practical results for me:

- two applications of a synthetic/polymer product (any quality over-the-counter or reasonably-priced sealant stuff)
- single application of a natural/wax product (Collinite 845 or Meguiars Gold)

Stuff that costs (at least) 3-4 times more than the aforementioned only offers incremental return in terms of depth/wetness appearance and protection/longevity.

(but, of-course surface-prep being the key... wash/clay/clean/polish/glaze/seal/wax/buff )

or you can just take it to the car wash and have them wash it with things that may as well be brillo pads....

LOL actually more steps!... after polishing detailers recommend going over the car completely with an isopropyl spray to make sure to remove all polish residue before glaze/seal/wax!!!!

Also could use a product like Hybrid V7 after waxing! (and after every subsequent wash, to help preserve the wax and continue to add protection/gloss)

It's a labor of love. Once you do this once its a lot easier to maintain.
