Washing black paint

[CentolaCCSB]

I usually do it once a year but this truck i havent kept up with it being mostly because of the fact its black and ive never owned a black vehicle so i get all pissed off after washing it detailing it to still see all the dam scratches. Gets me all fired up

Turtle wax back to black works very well. It's like 25$ at Walmart for a kit. Use it after you wash it and it will remove all the stuff you don't want then wax it with the stuff it comes with.

Skipp the high school stuff and get some 303 aerospace protectant. Its nuts how this stuff works on eveything.

Chris Stilner told me about it. What's that stuff your referring to and how do you use it/what's it's good for?

Yeah 303 aerospace protectant sounds pretty badass look into that aswell. There was a place next town over that does detailing i went to him once before asked what he uses for wax he told me its a marine wax good for boats, i figured yeah sounds legit boats are constantly in water/ salt water must be good. That a load of crap or is marine wax just regular ol wax

I use it on all my plastics, it will keep them in new condition and can restore them to almost new no matter how faded they are. Thry make an etire line of products that the car restiration industry uses, they just keep it under wraps so the general public dosent find out about their products. I only use the vinyl cleaner and protectant but they make a ton of products my father uses on his show cars.

Marine wax is better, it also more expensive. I use colinite paste #885 and #925. They setup fast and have an extermely strong bond to the surface, so it stays on for a long time. You have to do small areas or it will dry too much and its a bitch to get off...

So that 885 wax you apply and let sit for a few minutes then take off?

Yes, I just let it haze up. If you let it dry in the sun its stupid how hard it is to get off. Leaves a mirror finish...

I'll give it a shot. Any special way to apply and remove? I always apply wax with applicator pad and remove with microfiber cloth all by hand
