if you have a black blazer
 

the best wax for it i would is the black box by turtle wax. My truck was starting to fade , the hood was all messed with scratches and what not. after spending about 2-3 hours waxing it with its 5 step process it turned out looking like i just had it re painted
its a deff must have for anyone with a black vehicle.

I've heard good things about it... I may treat my Sierra to some of that stuff in the Spring.

Anyone wanna mail it to me?... lol

They don't sell it anywhere around me. I looked everywhere back in the fall when I last waxed.

it really does wonders if you take your time and do it right. It will take about 3 hours to do it and your arm will want to fall off lol
we use that atuff at our shop for detailing along with stuff called Pro gold which I also reccommend for any type of paint color. Brings back that fresh look.

send me some money and ill send you a box of it

Hmm I'll have to try that!

its worth the money for sure

I used it stuff works great. the pics in my sig are right after I used it

Really..the crappy tire in winnipeg has it, thats where i got it

Thats odd! I've check there, Wal-Mart and a few aftermarket car parts shops with no luck. Hopefully they will for next spring.

I'll get it when I have some cash flow!

Thanks for the tips, my paint looks terrible right now. That'll be the first thing I do in the spring!

I'll have to give it a try when the ice is off of mine.

Just be warned, while it might make your colors look the way they are supposed to, it will at best, last 3 or 4 months.

My Camaro has the same problem your talking about, and I once spent 3 days using a 15+ step custom system to get the paint back to where it should be, and yeah it worked, but eventually it all faded back to what it was before.

Yes, totally agree with this post. My black blazer (2002) was just getting a little dull looking, regarding the paint. I used that wax and it came out looking like a fresh paint job. It works a lot better if you have a electric buffer. You can pick one up for like $50

Heres my awesome wax job:

I wrote up on another forum what exactly I did to it, if I can find it again I'll post it here to show you all how much work I did on the "wax job" that made my Camaro look new for a while.

lol yes I love how it hides all of my scratches. I don't mind cleaning my truck so its all good

*snicker* you make it sound like the 'Peg is a tiny little back woods town Streb. is it like the only one in town? :icon_couchhide:


i've tried the Pro Gold before. quite awhile ago actually, on my Jimmy. that early '90's GM dark green was a biotch for fading. worked well on it though, but only lasted for most of the Summer. and then the Ontario Fall/Winter season began...........:icon_razz:

only one in my end of town, lol:P got no reason to go to any other end of the city, so as far as im concerned i can get anywhere in the city (that i need to go) in under 20 minutes. haha

well yea if your paint looks like that on your car id just get it re painted lol
my paint was just starting to lack that luster it had but one wax job and its still lasted and i did it way before winter started and even with the winter with salt i washed it the other day and it looks just as good as when i waxed it.

I picked up a porter cable random orbit polisher and use professional foam pad to polish mine once a year and wax it (with a meguairs prewax cleaner then megs wax) every 6 months or so, ever since I started even in our crappy slush roads it looks awesome as soon as the slush/salt fall off a bit. Takes a good 4 hours of so for the full wax but you get 10 times the shine of hand waxing and kills your arm far less. I'd highly recommend it for anyone that take the time to hand wax to try a power polish or wax, little pricey to buy eveything to start but well worth it.

I picked up some stuff by Turtle that's supossed to remove surface scratches and paint imperfections for $2. This spring I'm gonna see if it actually works.

I'll have to give this a try. The 'hoe is in rough shape (plenty of scratches). The previous owner used it a lot to do fishing, so it's going to need a good buff job in the spring as soon as it gets warm enough. Can't wait to set aside an entire sunday and get that done. Probably 8+ hours of work to be done on it.

Speed Bead by Stoner is a great spray wax to use in bw big wax jobs or details. It works amazing and doesn't take too long to apply. I use it im bw detailing for quick touch ups. I like it so much I ordered an entire case off their website since our local auto supply places don't seem to stock it.
