For something quick and easy i would use Meguires NXT.

When you say chips are you talking about stone chips? No wax is going to fix that.

In order to get great results with a black car you need to do more than just your average wax.
Wash and clay bar
swirl remover
polish
carnuba wax
I suggest tropicare products as far as the swirl remover, polish and wax
If you want to make it easier on yourself buy a PC
I got excellent results.

I've had great luck with meguiars.

+1 for polishing first, love the look of my black Z when it shines, but i hate the process of keeping it that way.

I use meguiars Gold class, NXT, and I've used Zaino a couple of times. I've achieved the same results however the Zaino lasts the longest then the Gold class and lastly the NXT really NXT needs to be applied weekly.


Here is the result of Gold class


NXT



And Zaino



...Keep in mind that these are diffrent lighting conditions but it looks very similar with all the waxes however longevity changes.

NXT is a very good wax. Many people use the Megiurs 3 step process.

don't do that .. you are killing your paint. there are occassions when a single wash with Dawn might be beneficial, but using it as part of your normal maintainence is not a good idea.

as for the Meg's consumer products .. NXT is the most durable, then bringing up the rear is Gold Class. Gold Class gives a great shine, but doesn't last long at all.


I would stay away from the colored waxes .. they don't do a very good job of covering up issues, and they don't dshine that well either.

Batmobile SS pointed you in the correct direction ..

i dont use dish soap every week HAHAHAHAHA. only like once every couple months. I dont even wash and wax my car every week. It gets so dirty here in SoCal with the dust and sand blowing around. I just hose it down and clean it with clean rags and water. Then like once a month i'll take the time to wax it or before going to a car show or cruise

Zaino and Natty's blue. Keep in mind, any wax/sealant will look 10x better after paint correction.

I have used it all... Zaino works great and Meguiers Gold class is pretty good. I just started using Adams Super Wax and I really liked it. (just noticed that the super wax isn't on the website yet) All of Adam's stuff works pretty good. Where are you located?

I just did a quick detail of my car today. I'll get some pictures of it tomorrow and post them in this thread so you can see what the process I suggested turns out like.

I just picked up that new Turtle Wax Ice stuff and waxed my entire car (rims included)in no bull, about 30 minutes in the sun in Tampa, FL. I have seen better wax, but then again I didn't buff until my arm fell off. Although it did end up looking pretty damn good and was impressed with it. It worked extremely well on the rims too. I normally use Megiure's though.
