How does this shine? I heard a carnauba was can shine more, especially on dark color cars.

I'm afraid I can't really answer this question. I used it only on a Pearl White Subaru and I liked it especially the way water sheets off the surface. It is easier to apply than any other wax I have used, but will it make your dark car sing? Can't say. Wouldn't it be interesting to try a comparison on (for example) each of four fenders?

Waxes don't really improve the shine of your car unless it's got paint damage already. It's just a hydrophobic protectant; if your paint's surface is messed up to begin with, this will fill in some imperfections. The real reason you would buy this over Carnuba is that it is synthetic and adheres to your clear coat for longer time and also has better water sheeting properties than a natural wax.

I have a black Lexus. I have never used carnauba on it. Meguiar's NXT has given the car a fantastic shine. People complement me on the shine. This is my 4th Lexus and I have used Meguiar's products on all of them

Hi Matt, Absolutely this product works amazing with any color of car, try Turtle wax Product to attain perfect shine.

You're overestimating the lasting power of a very thin coat of wax. The Klassee sealant is the best car paint protectorant I have ever used, as with ALL waxing or sealant products it has a solvent effect to remove oxidation, old wax and other surface pollutants which are then removed when you wipe away the glaze. I do what a lot of others have done and it you have some muscle power put the sealant on wipe away the glaze then use Mothers, or any name brand Brazillian Carnuba wax on top of the sealant. This is PURE CARNUBA, not products with Carnuba in them. EXTREMELY important. With this top coat added to the Klassee you'll have the highest gloss finish you can get. You'll thank me. Oh and I don't sell anything, I'm not a shill, just a car enthusiast living in an extreme enviorment, Phoenix, AZ

I normally use it in shade on a cool car. In the sun you need to use more muscle power to polish it up. But I have used in sun and the results were good

I always apply out of direct sunlight, ie in my garage. It goes on and looks a little cloudy at first but lays down nice and flat and is dry to the touch in minutes. Within one hour you can drive your car and use it like normal. Also be very sure to follow the recommended alcohol wipe down. It calls for a 13% alcohol wipe down first. This is important for the best end results. Also, I make sure my cars finish is at it's finest as this is a protectant only. I do this to all my vehicles once per year. What a difference I have seen sense I started doing this now going on my 4th year

I have done both. If your paint is in good shape the collinite will work by itself. I have a dark truck and I am particular about how it looks so I have used a polish to really bring out the shine. I do not do that on the wifes beige suv.

My car is a darker red metallic and it worked just fine. I also used the crayon that came with the wax which is NOT metallic but it worked very well for hiding small pit marks. The crayon is a darker red so use just a little if touching up scratches.

I would just stick to the black paint on this one. The black in the wax fills the fine scratches in the surface to give a black car a shine that is superb.

I use this product for my motorcycle. Carnauba waxes possibly give the richest deepest shines but are NOT typically durable. It is easy to use.

I used it on my dash about a month ago, it's black vinyl. The shine still looks the same the day I applied it. It doesn't seem like I will have to use it anytime soon. I'll probably do it once a year if that. I don't see it becoming more dull by not repeatedly being used. Of course, not every dash is exactly the same material/quality but I think it will last a while for me.

I have a Metallic brown jeep and a dark blue sierra and I defiantly see a wonderful improvement on the richness of the color on both. It gets every better looking too if you put jet seal down and then apply the black light on top of it.

I even used it on the black vinyl trim on my car, it does not turn white and keeps black shiny and the water beads up. Also used it on a section of inside vinyl dashboard where there was a stain I removed and this brought back the luster

I think it depends on the material. It pretty much is a moisturizer and makes the material darker- like a lotion. It is matte on the car's landau top and plastic bumpers. It'd probably be glossy on more shiny materials.

I would say yes the paint leaves a bright finish but not as bright as a true chrome Don

I bought this product and it is really good; however, it does not remove chipped paint nor scratches from your car. Again, when used correctly it will make your car look great. I bought a small bottle of black paint from my car dealer > brush the chips with the paint > then I lay toilet paper on it to take off access > then do it all over again > three times is sufficient.

I've used this car soap without any issues. But, I still prefer Merquiars Gold Class Car Wash because I like its sudsing action. I also polish our cars with Mequiar's NXT polish twice annually so the Ultimate Wash provides no value to me. The spots on your car could be hard water spots from atmosphere condensation if your car sat outside. I had this issue on the roof of our new car a few years ago and used Meguiar's Cleaner Wax to remove them. I always keep this cleaner wax on hand because it works so well in situations like this.

Use a gloss black primer, and then paint *extremely* light coats of chrome, building it up slowly. I find that 2-3 coats works best, and it dries very quickly in between coats. I have looked everywhere for a "manual" or directions, but have not found one, so the info I am giving you is based on my own tests. I tried it many different ways, and only gloss black with light chrome coats gave me the high polish results I was looking for. It should also be sealed if it's going to be even lightly handled, and again the sealing should be done with a very light hand. I would recommend testing on plastic spoons to make sure you have things right before you go to model, as stripping this stuff is a real PITA. Happy Painting!
