how bad do you think this product really is? I have a super black '03 and i am always trying to keep it super clean. i just dont trust things like this.

I have a black one too and I use the Meguiars Cleaner Wax. Also after I wash the car there are always streaks then I use the Meguiars Quick Detail with a Microfiber towel. Check out the Zaino, I have heard good things about that.

 

Yep, one word: Zaino.

 

I use mothers quick detail, works everytime. no streaks like the meguiars junk. The turtle wax "ice" is prob the best I hvae used so far, its a synthetic and will make your dark colors really shine.

 

I wouldn't trust it. Get a proven product like Zaino, Meguiars, etc. Check out http://autopia.org for more details on cleaning and detailing.

Just go there and search "title only" for "black" and thank us later. Now we shouldn't expect to hear from you for a few days...don't be lazy over there and post up asking what is the best for black or anything like that, the color black has been discussed to death over there. Search...you shouldn't have to post anything.

Plan on spending a few hundred to get your supplies up to par for attacking some black paint...it will be worth it when you are done though.


EDIT: You will soon learn, prep prep prep, prep is the most important step.

 

One thing that you should come away with from Autopia is that it's not really about the product, it's all about how you wash, dry and wax the car that keeps it looking top-notch. Especially with a black car as they are so prone to show swirl marks and scratches.

 

My neighbor has this on his Z. I always see hom outside with a spray bottle and rag, wiping down his Z. From what I can tell it looks clean.

 

Five Star Shines "miracle" ingredient, PTFE, is the generic name for teflon, which needs to be baked into a surface at high temperatures to provide the level of protection they claim. When used in any wax product, its just marketing and won't work

 

yeah i have been to autopia. just saw this product randomly today and thought i would throw it out there. thanks for the tips everyone!
