Default Black Car Owners Please!

What is your guys favorite wax to use I have been going through so many different ones trying to find my favorite or one that even works pretty good. Some are just leaving like a film like substance on the car, and others are giving it blue hazes(I BOUGHT A BLACK CAR I WANT IT BLACK NOT BLUE!). It is really starting to bug me would like to know what others use on your cars to try it out.

I've always liked Zaino sealants and Natty's Blue from Poorboys. There are better waxes than Natty's but it works really well and it's a pretty cheap alternative to some of the stuff out there.

For stuff you can find at the local Wal-Mart, Meguiars NXT seems to be popular on here as well as Mother's products.

Another vote for the Meguiars NXT. I had used some Eagle one polish I had and it shined it up pretty good. Then I used some sample packs of the NXT I had around to try and and it's awesome so I went out and bought a bottle of it. I need to go over some spots with the Scratch X to get rid of some water spots that burned into the paint and then go back with NXT again.

Tropi-care TC-3, topped with Meg's #26 Carnuaba is my favorite for dark colors right now.

(I actually use #16 instead of #26, but unless you already have some, you are SOL there)

first wash with meguirs gold class and dry. than i use zymol its a blue cleaner wax takes out swirls and cleans the paint. than use meguirs nxt tech wax its only a synthesiser to shine it more the paste. and last i use meguirs plain old carnuba step 3 from there lineup. lasts about 4-5 months thinking it takes about 2 hours and make sure u only use microfiber clothes that are clean with no grease oil or residue of any kind after doing this u cant see the paint u cant tell what color the car is because all you see is yourselve looking at it haha pure mirror like reflection

It looks blue because of the reflection of the sky.
