Best Wax for Black Cars (Review and Buying Guide) 2018

If you are looking to pick up everything you need to effectively care for your car’s appearance then this could be the product for you – it’s literally everything you need, conveniently packaged in one handy box. It even includes applicators! 

Inside you will find pre-cleaners, waxes and conditioners all specially designed and tinted for use with darker paints. They can go a long way to restoring luster on older paint too – especially when it comes to covering up the swirl marks and other surface blemishes that can be the downfall of black paint.

Built in UV protection is very useful, providing long-term protection for your paint from damage from the sun’s rays. Not only do you get all that, but as a nice bonus you get the added assurance that comes with a recognized – and trusted – brand like Turtle Wax.

You love your car, but you don’t want to be waxing it every weekend, right? We’ve all got more fun things to do than that! If that sounds like you then this product by Meguiar’s could be right for you. First of all, it is specially formulated for use on dark (especially black) paint.  That means that just one coat will bring an unbelievable shine and luster to your car.

What’s even more impressive however is that it is specially formulated to provide protection (and keep you car looking shiny) for months. Just think of all that time you can get back – and what you could do with it.

At only 7 ounces this is one of the smaller packs on this list. However, during application you’ll soon see that a little goes a long way, and with it’s long lasting formula it’ll be a while before you need to apply a fresh coat.

If you’ve ever waxed your car only to see you’ve accidently got some of the formula onto any plastic or rubber details, you’ll know that some products can turn those materials white.

It’s a real pain, because it adds time to the car clean routine. Not only do you need to clean it off, the next time you have to be extra careful to not do it again – or, like some of us, you forget and have to clean it all off again!

You don’t need to worry about that with this product, whose advanced formula is safe to use on all surfaces. This means, according to the CarGuys, you can wax your car in 15 minutes flat. Not only that but you get a brilliant, streak free shine every time. 

That’s an impressive list of claims alright, and it doesn’t end there. The CarGuys are so sure you’ll love this product they offer a full refund if you are not satisfied. So what’s to lose?

This is the cheapest item on the list, however don’t make the mistake of assuming this is the bargain bin option! The first thing to notice is the brand whose logo adorns this bottle, none other than Turtle Wax. As one of the most respected suppliers of car care products, that is your first hint that this product is going to bring you a lot of bang for your buck.

The second thing to note with this product is that it brings a little more to the table than your usual, common car wax. This product does contain wax, and it will perform the same function as a typical product of that kind – and do it well, with streak free, long lasting shine.

But it is also an advanced formula that includes various additional dyes and pigments. They work together to cover surface swirls and help restore neglected black paint to a lustrous shine.  So like we said, it may be cheap, but it is certainly not a bargain option!

From the cheapest item on the list to the most expensive, this kit clocks in at a shade under $100. So what do you get for that investment? Well, quite a lot it turns out.  The first thing to note here is that this kit is made by the highly reputable Chemical Guys. That means you know you are investing your cash into a top quality, premium product.

This kit is essentially everything you need in one box. Unlike other kits on this list however, whilst this comes with everything you need to wax your black car, it also comes with everything you need to clean your car too. This is really important, as your car must be crystal clean before you apply any wax products. It is the pieces of hard dirt or grit left behind that can cause ugly swirls and scratches to appear in the paintwork.

So this kit comes complete with superb cleaning soaps, top quality microfiber towels and applicators and waxes specially designed to make darker cars look amazing. No, it’s not cheap – but you are getting an awful lot of top quality product for your money.

Most waxes will leave your car looking smooth and shiny – that it is, after all, the entire point of these products!

Others however go that extra mile, and this product from the highly reputable Chemical Guys stable of car care products is one of those high achievers! This leaves the type of finish to your vehicle that is of such a deep, lustrous shine it leaves your car literally looking it’s wet.

So if you want a typical waxed finish with a normal shine, this product will probably be a bit too much. If however you want a truly head turning, attention grabbing super deep shine finish then go for this product – you won’t be disappointed.

Another premium product from Chemical Guys which, as expected, comes with a premium price tag – this is the second most expensive entry in this guide.

 You are again getting a full kit of items including a specially formulated wax, applicators and microfiber towels. Unlike other kits on this list however this is not an all in one kit – there is nothing in here to clean your car before application.

Instead you are investing in a kit that will give a premium finish to your black car. It is bringing both a deep and lustrous shine to your paintwork, and also long lasting protection. The product has built in UV protectors to fight fading, and also includes a powerful water repellant agent to prevent rain drying on the bodywork, leaving behind ugly watermarks. This is a truly premium product that is the closest you can get to pro body shop results at home.
