What should I use for my 03 v6 se?

Ive already got the meguiars gold car wash

what type of wax would you guys recommend for a black car?

And how long does it take?

Thanks

i always use mothers. i have a dark green car, so its pretty similar to black i guess

it takes however long you want it to take, depending on how long you let the wax dry and how much detailing you give it.

since you hav a black car, using a pure carnuba wax would be best. it would bring out a deeper shine in any darker colour car.

is the meguiars gold good or the yellow #26 or Zymol?

which out of these 3 should i use?

eecc · 07-23-2003, 11:19 PM

meguiars gold class is a polymor wax, but i think the 26 is carnuba

polymer is man-made wax, carnuba wax is from nature: found in brazil.

which is better?

it depends. polymor waxes give more shine on lighter colours while carnuba gives more depth on darker colours. why not get the best of both worlds and put a layer of polymor ontop of carnuba?

great auto-detailing group. i learned quite a bit reading the posts.

I use Zymol....it's very good...

Plus I got me a buffer to give it that extra shine....

....oh yea......
