Default XJ X358 meets Poorboys Blackhole and Chemical guys BLACK wax

As some of you know I had the car detailed around a month ago, they did a really good job too, very well pleased.

In the meantime it's suffered a scratch or two and there were also some RDS that were unable to be removed. In an effort to firstly repair these little scratches and or to preserve the finish achieved by detailing so far, and moving forward..........

I spent several hours today, firstly washing and drying her, with the intention of applying Poorboys Blackhole ( a filler glaze ) and then topping it off with Chemical guys BLACK wax ( designed specifically for Black coloured cars using nano technology )

The Poorboys Blackhole I know well, an amazing product and one any black car owning enthusiast should try. I was interested to see the CG Black wax and how it performed too.

The PB Blackhole smells gorgeous and is easy on / easy off. Having said that I forget sometimes just what a LARGE car she is, took around 2 hours. The Chemical Guys BLACK wax is
also easy on / easy off and also took around 2 hours, suffice to say my arms are hanging off, lol

As the weather was definitely not playing ball, I went to the local car park under cover, it's usually deserted and most enthusiasts use it for this and small DIY jobs of one sort or another....

Anyway, here's the results for those that are interested....

I'm hoping it'll help to protect the finish for a few months before re applying, topping it up for maximum protection through the winter.

To preserve the longivity of the wax consider applying paint/wax sealant. Try Backfire Paint sealant. Check it out at Autogeek.com.
These products really put depth to black color.
