Default turtle wax black box

I bought this the other day and was wondering if anyone had any experience with it. It comes with black prewax cleaner, black carnuba wax, two bottles of spray detailer, and two foam applicators. I got the car washed and one small section of the hood done with the prewax cleaner before the weather turned bad. It seemed to take out most of the swirls in the paint and really brought out a good shine.

Hopefully this product works pretty well for cleaning up the old 140,000 mile paint on my f-body. Im not looking for show winning or anything like that, just a little better shine without so many swirl marks.

I picked this up at Pep Boys last week and finally got around to using it on my black SS Unfortunately I don't have any photos but I was very impressed with the outcome and would highly recommend it

I've used their black polish and it works wonders in hiding small swirls. Screws up your polishing rags tho with stains so be careful what you use.
