I have just bought a black car ( god knows why....:rotz:)

As I like to keep my cars up to snuff, but not having had a black one for years ( apart from the Octavia, but I barely had it long enough to wash it, let alone wax it ) can anyone recommend any ( not too expensive ) waxes that will show it off well.

It will all be done by hand, as I have been forbidden by the war office to modify it, buy any more toys I don't need ( i.e a porter cable ), or waste money on wheels that I give away.....

Oh, and it's big, so the stuff must be easy to wax on, wax off............

fk1000 is pretty good on black and at 18 pounds good value,this is a sealant and not a wax so its got good durability aswell

If you've got some swirls the AG combo of Super Resin followed by Extra Gloss Protection is a good one...cheap & available from halfrauds.

Alternatively a paint cleanser followed by some Collinite 476S will offer a good & very durable finish.

I've got loads of lots of stuff ( about a gallon of srp and 3 bottles of egp ) plus some more of everything, and I've always been a fan of Autoglym stuff ( it certainly helped sell the Mazda ) but it never seems to be very durable, and having just bought an estate, I don't want to be doing it every other week as it seems massive compared to the Mazda/Fabia.

Having said that, I have only got two to keep clean now,as opposed to four, so I suppose it's swings and roundabouts.

sounds like you have all you need:thumbup:...just top-up with the EGP every 4-6 weeks & job's a good'un. You should notice increased durability after a couple of layers of the EGP onwards.
