Default Turtle wax, Black Box detail.... 56K go away!!

Us black car owners now have an over the counter saving grace....

i have been using this wax/precleaner/detail spray on the car for the
couple weeks. and really only have 3 coats of wax and precleaned it once (the first time).

This stuff is fantastic. both the precleaner and wax are actually black tinted as well as the detail spray. IT has virtually removed all of my swirls and any remnants of water spots (and i didnt even have to use a buffer)

it rained all last night and some on friday. got to see the rain bead up and run right off the car.

Im usually a fan of NXT. (still am and will use on occasion) BUT all i can say is wow.... night and day difference.

best part is.... its only 20 bucks at advance/autozone. you get:

1 bottle precleaner
1 bottle wax
2 bottles of detail spray
2 wax applicator pads

here are the pics as promised, i just boxed her again today. here are before pics after about 3 days ( on and off) of rain and not cleaning the car at all....










here is what the wax looks like.... keep in mind the pre-cleaner looks the same. however i did NOT use the pre-cleaner today. I used ICE to wipe the car down before waxing. i did not actually WASH the car.



Here is the hood after wax, but no detail spray afterwards. (i did use the detail spray after the wax job was complete.)



The door after wipedown/wax/detail spray






The same 1/4 panel as in pic number 4 above.


and finally.....atop the parking garage at 630pm

Sorry, it doesn't remove your swirls. It hides most of them. They are still there. Disclaimer done.


The car does look very good!
