i recently waxed my car with chemical guys m sealant and blue natty wax and while it did give a pretty decent shiny look but just didnt have the liquid wet look im looking for. what kind of wax do you guys use or recommend for black cars?

 

I use a combination of hard/soft wax.

Dodojuice - Blue Velvet
Dodojuice - Purple Haze

Very satisfied!

 

Do claybar first, then the polish (2 layers). Sealant (2 layers). Let sit overnight and finish with a really nice wax (2 layers). If that doesn't work you might have really deep swirls and need to use a buffer with a pretty agressive pad

 

I only used Pinnacle Souveran Wax on my G. sealant will be blackfire wet diamond.

 

^ That stuff is like $100 right? Wow.

 

Yes sir. trust me is worth of every penny. I had few other wax as well, Pinnacle Signature II and Blackfire Midnight Sun. but Pinnacle Souveran wax still on top of my favorite list. this is the only Wax that i experienced it won't traps dirts or anything compared to others. best 3D lookin wax IMO.

 

I recommend Zaino, their entire line of sealants is easy to use and can get the wet look. The best part is you can continually layer it for improved looks. I'm sure there's other great products too, but this is what I've always used.

Some argue that a "wet" provided by sealants is not ideal for a black car, as the paint will reflect the colors of the environment, and your car won't look as black, if that makes sense. In that case, you might want to go with a quality wax like those listed above.

 

I use this stuff:

Blackfire Midnight Sun Carnauba Paste Wax - 7 oz | Detailed Image

It is PERFECT for an OB G. It is hand applied/buffed and is easy to do so. Also, it smells amazing.

 

I use the entire Blackfire lineup, and they are perfection in a bottle

Blackfire Wet Diamond with Polycharger - 16 oz | Detailed Image

Blackfire Gloss Enhancing Polish (with Glaze fillers) - 16 oz | Detailed Image

And I have 2-3 other blackfire products that DI no longer carries, I wonder if they (BF) discontinued them...

 

I use poorboy's polish and sealant and then follow it up with meguiar's ultimate quick wax (it smells amazing). I also use the UQW after every wash. I'm not sure if it could look wetter, but it looks pretty wet to me!

 

Any pictures?

 

just click on my Albums, there's a few pics taken from my iphone. if i have a DSLr camera even better quality pics.

 

The sealant and wax you got are very good. There may be some better options out there as noted above however you will get significantly better results if you polish before hand. Sealants and waxes can only enhance the way your paint already look. Polishing actually corrects the clear coat so it's more optically clear and vibrant again. Below are two outstanding polishing kits that will provide you far better results than any sealant or wax can.

DI Packages Porter Cable 7424 XP, Meguiar's Polish and Hydro Pads

Let me know if you have any other questions.
