Polish for Black

Tried everything from A - Z, OTC and gourmet stuff and always come back to Zaino. Normal routine is Z5 +2, Z2, clear seal & topped with Z8. The latter, the grand finale spray works well on top of any sealant or wax. The fiancee's GT gets the same treatment.

I'm not really a fan of Zaino, at all. Their products only work with their products. Nice marketing. If you've never tried Poorboy's Black Hole, do it. It's technically a finishing glaze, pure polish but it's meant strictly for black and other dark vehicles. It's amazing.

This is my car after the follow routine. Wash with Foam Gun & DP Foam Gun Shampoo, Grit Guards, Two Bucket Wash, SM Arnold Lambs Wool mit, etc. Clay with Poorboy's Clay + Meguiars A-Line QD, it's cheap. Meguiars #80 on 4 with G100, Meguiars #80 on 3 with G100, Poorboys Black Hole on 3 with G100, Poorboys EX-P Sealant on 3 with G100. Finished with Meguiars #16 by hand and Meguiars #34 QD.

Car looks great but the paint nor Black Hole nows it's being used on a dark color. It just has oils and would probably look good on light colors as well. What caught my attention is #16 as I haven't seen anyone here mention it. Probably Megs best durable wax ever, sad to see it go .

The Chevy looks fantastic but one thing I don't like about Ziano on black is it give a mirror effect. On black I would go with something like Souveran to get the deepest wettest look possible, Or Clearkote's Carnuaba Moose wax for a deep pool of oil look. Ziano is just too reflective (to me) on blacks.

What are you talking about? Black Hole was designed to be used on Black or dark colors. Trust me, there is a big difference between using Black Hole and White Diamond for their colors ...

Like I said Black hole just has more oils in it then the White Diamond. Neither product knows what color it's being applied too, marketing at it's best. I have some wax thats "For light colors" let me tell you it looks great on all colors. It doesn't stand out on light colors more then dark.

I guess I'll have to agree to disagree. I understand what Black Hole has vs White Diamond, etc. Regardless it was created for use on a black or dark color vehicle, right? I find there a lot of waxes that do have their place on certain colors. #21 looks great on light colors but gives that saran wrap effect on dark colors compared to say #16, Natty's Red or Blue, etc.
