You can use it on a white car if you wanted, just the name is comfusing, once buffed off it will not leave a colour behind.
This is what the guys off Cleanyourcar forum have said anyway

It won't 'darken' the paint as such, but it is 'colour charged' meaning it's a dark coloured cream. The othe PB's glaze is 'White Diamond' and that's a white liquid, obviously and aimed at light coloured cars. I have both these and the function of them is to mask and hide the small and even microscopic swirls and surface defects on the paint that collectively rob your finish of depth and gloss.

Because of the colour, they 'fill in' these defects and make them far less visible. In a way, it's a bit like an alternative to machine polishing where instead of removing a few microns thickness of paint to get rid, they just get filled in instead. It's nowhere near as effective, and obviously only a temporary measure, but on paint with a lot of light swirls and where machine polishing isn't available, adding a glaze after polishing and before waxing like either of the 2 Poorboys ones mentioned, can help the appearance. It's more effective on dark coloured cars where swirls etc. are much more visible.

Also, like most glazes they add oils into the paintwork that might have dried out over time if the car hasn't been cared for.

have used blackhole on my moonstone blue sapph and really like it prefer it over the white diamond as the blackhole leaves a more 'wetter' finish and is good gor hiding minior imperfections.

but for pure shine use the chemical guys ez creme glaze dosnt rely fill but leves a really good crisp shine.

I agree with this, it leaves a 'wet' look under your wax. Gives some 'depth' to the paint, as if you could swim in it. I really like black hole on dark cars

I firmly agree with the above; on mid tone to dark colours, Black Hole really adds a layer of wetness to the finish, thus giving greater overall depth and gloss. On lighter colours it works pretty well too, but so too does the plain undyed version (White Diamond). On white and silver I'd stick with the plain version, and save the Black Hole for darker colours. A further point worth mentioning is that both waxes and sealants will layer over either version equaly well, with no bonding issues.
