Hi guys, I now own my first black car, and no matter what I do it is always dirty, I've tried all sorts of shampoo, wax, polish combinations and still doesn't look stupidly clean, what do you guys use on your darker cars to give it a decent long lasting shine?
Any input appreciated cheers guys

Getting the paint corrected would help with making it look a lot deeper and richer in colour, then apply products such as poor boys black hole, then a few coats of collinite 915 for example..

get your paint corrected to the point where it wants a glaze, add poorboys blackhole then seal it in with a hard wax

This had the poor boys treatment. As said tho, black doesn't stay clean for long, especially in this weather.

Is this Blackhole stuff just applied by hand or does it need to be put on with a grinder thing with a soft pad??

Since we're sharing car pics, here's another after using Poorboys Black Hole, applied without any machinery.



Black will never stay clean for long unfortunately, but in the sun a black car will look shit if the paint has lots of swirl marks, so maybe need to look into getting that sorted?

Poor boys black hole is a filler as well though so from past experience if you do have swirls ect it will mask the majority of them. Mine certainly wasn't swirl free but after a couple of coats of poor boys and a decent wax they were hardly noticeable in the sun.

I also applied by hand, really easy to use rub on rub off.

PB Black Hole works well but does fill in swirls rather than remove.
