Default wax for a black car?


is there any wax that works better for a black car? it seems like all the stuff i use leaves a kinda hazy film on the finish and looks shitty, ive tried a few different brands of wax and they all seem to do it.

wax your car in the shade (make sure the paint is cooled), and the haze will go away

Check this out. It helped me out with a similar question I had about red paint.

Proper Auto Care......

i just recently detailed my car, here is the list i used;

1. Orbital Polisher - with pads
2. Compound - Meguier's Polish/Swirl Remover (#83 i think)
3. Polish - S100 from any Harley Davidson or motorcycle store
4. Wax - Meguier's NXT wax

here is a sample of what it looked like after the detial (note this pic was taken a few months after the detail) wish i had more pics to show you after i detailed it but all of my pics are from before but i hope this works tho
