Default Best Wax for Black Car
Hey guys, I did a search but couldn't find what I was looking for. I'm just got my car detailed and some parts re-painted as well as wet sanded some paint that shrunk. I was wondering what is the best wax to use on a black car. I have an 01' Black WS6. Any suggestions??

Are you wanting over the counter or not?

Over the counter is either: Mothers
Meguiars
Turtle Wax

NOT over the counter is :Zaino's (I have never used it but I hear great things about it)

I just recently tried that Turtle Wac Ice stuff. Car looks great, comparable to Meguire's NXT.

Another vote for Meguiars #26 yellow wax, I've been using it off and on since '93.
