BLACK WAX?

[2003BlackStang]

Anyone know of any kind of good black wax out there? I just used Turtlewax color cure but i dont think it protects like other waxs. Ive seen one carnabu black wax on the internet but it was back ordered for a while. If you know anything that will work good it would be a help thanx in advance.

after you use color cure, just put a carnuaba wax over it.

yea but my concern is gettin the wax in those little cracks were even Q-tips dont fit it leaves white lines. Black wax wouldn't leave lines.

There are plenty of products that do NOT leave white residue. Have you tried NXT Tech Wax? It is a synthetic polymer (no carnauba). There is also S100 which is available at most Harley dealers, it is a carnauba but does not leave a white residue. Those are just a couple, there are plenty more.

Aside from using a product that does not leave a white residue have you tried just being more careful where you put the wax The other alternative is to use painters tape to cover up trim and any place you don't want wax to go. It may sound like a lot of work but, it actually saves the time it would take to remove the wax from all the crevices.

Just my 2 cents

I am careful but I still seem to get some in the cracks. isnt NXT a spray wax? What other waxes dont leave white residue every one I have tried does

The NXT Tech Spray Wax is just a booster for the NXT Tech Wax. It is meant to apply touchups between waxings.

I usually use a very old and well used soft toothbrush with a good quick detailer to remove wax from crevices.

Another thing that will cause white residue is using too much product. It is far better to put on 2 very thin coats than it is 1 heavy one.

White residue can be a pain but, I don't think I would go as far as to cover up the true color of my paint with a colored wax to avoid it.
