Black Hole is one of my fave products - fantastic glaze on all darker colours but especially on black

Here's a few shots of my XR2 with it on (and this is before the wax went on which would be Zymol Carbon).

That looks like a machine jobby to me.

Looks smart as feck.
I tried it on my cos, by hand, was not impressed by it. The mongdeo got it too, its black ,same as the cos, better result on it still not great tho.
Hopefully a MOP would give better results,if i ever buy one.

Cheers, bud!

The Black Hole was applied by hand on a Meguiar's yellow foam pad, but the car was machine polished by me previously using Menzerna polishes.

Black Hole is kind of 'dual use' depending on the application method - by hand with light pressure it's more like a traditional glaze and the cleaners in the product are largely ineffective (it's 100% non abrasive btw.) so it can be applied over layers of other products without removing them.

By machine it's cleaners, together with the action of the pad will perform some chemical correction to the surface.

As the car was already machine polished and finished to the highest level with Menz PO85RD Final Finish, I went with the hand method to get the best out of it as a pure glaze and to add a little depth and wetness prior to sealing in with the Zymol wax.

So whats the best way to apply it, I will be using the Meguiar's yellow foam pad, but i should really work it into the paint should I?

Work on an area of about 18 inch square, or half a panel at a time, put a few 'pea' sized drops or an 'X' of it on the Megs pad, dab the pad around the work area (this is so you have a fresh bit of product to pick up on the pad as you work around the area). Work in overlapping circular motions with only light pressure and you will see Black Hole kind of 'melt' into the surface after a minute or so. You can either wipe off straight away or do the whole car and then buff off (this is what I tend to do when working in the garage).
