Nice reflections in the top shot, and a nice colour You could wetten the shine by adding a glaze to your process though (these look awesome on black), and you may want to consider using a different wax, to give you an even glossier finish

Care to elaborate on these, as I too have a black car.

swiftysgti, Looking good mate. I've just gone from using Autoglym to Megs Gold Class and what a difference. Even smells lush.

Jabba - Meg's GC is a decent all-rounder, but different products are available for an ultimate finish on black One thing you may notice when comparing products to one another is that the GC finishing wax is a little poor compared to others available.

After your claying and polishing stages, you should without a doubt add a glazing stage to black - it deepens and wettens the shine. ClearKote Red Moose Glaze is head and shoulders above any other glazes that i've tried - i wouldn't use anything else now.

This must be sealed in, and as your car is ash black, you have a choice of sealants - Poorboy's EX-P to pop your flake in the sun, or Poorboy's EX to mute the flake and continue the full 'wet' look. Pinnacle Souveran is an excellent finishing wax on black, but very expensive compared to others that are pretty much just as good and more durable - i'd go for Natty's Blue on your colour

If you think GC smells lush - you should smell Natty's Blue finishing wax
