I took some pictures...

Not enjoying the meguires stuff i bought - leaves a weird residue on the paint that looks like oil... wont be using it again (so any reccomendations on a replacement wax would be nice)








Tried to get some pics of the colour as its not actually black.. but it was more of an iphone fail tbh... you can kinda see it up the A pillar



And this one just shows up the huge scrape on the door (thanks to some retard in a car park...) really should speak to tom about getting that sorted

What Megs stuff is it? I've used Ultimate Paste Wax before and it didn't leave any residue.

Seems like the Poorboys Blackhole + Natty Paste Wax is the popular recommendation for dark cars atm!

I would recomend the dodo juice purple haze which is a soft wax and will last about 6-8 washes, or dodo juce blue velvet which is a harder wax and will last alot longer. Both give amazing shine and beading. Look in my thread i glazed my car with poorboys black hole then a good coat of dodo juice purple haze and the shine was amazing. Your car looks awesome and they sound awesome as i know someone who had one.

Dont get me wrong, Rotas look fab, i had contemplated some for the soarer..

But, you'd end up being the same as every other Evo, like a corsa on speedlines

I can say that too.... i had a corsa on speedlines!

I would agree. The Poorboys Glazes are awesome, work really well, and the Dodo Juice waxes are so easy to apply and remove. I do find that the Megs stuff can be like the Auto Glym, especually in the sun - it just hazes and won't come off, then it leaves loads of dust/residue.

Clearkote stuff is also good.
