Turtle Wax Black Box Kit??

M3Newbie88 · 10-15-2011, 01:45 PM

Anyone have any experience with this kit?

We all know Black cars are usually more difficult then other colors.

Saw this at Canadian tire made specifically for black cars hence I wanted to see if anyone tried this out.

My 2 cents: Just the little I can see from the camera and light angle but the paint really needs to be corrected first. It didn't look like it did to much for it.

Lol at the swirls remaining after all that work. I was expecting to see a miracle.

If you want to shop at Canadian Tire - get the three step California Gold® kit from Mothers - 1. Pre Wax Cleaner, 2. Sealer and Glaze, 3 Carnauba Wax - with an option on the Scratch Remover before stage 3 if you have any to worry about.

Forget about Turtle Wax - it's for trucks and mini vans.

actually used this on my black 370Z... pre-wax stage eliminated all the swirls, was easy to use. It didn't clay bar, I should have b/c surface did feel rough.

It can get messy b/c of black pigments used during pre-wax stage & actually waxing process.

Final result was no swirls & shiney appearance.

Those products would give me a mental breakdown. Looks incredibly messy and time consuming. They are probably using glazes that would fill a crater.

Terrible.
