So..I ended up waxing my freshly painted car....

[Speedbump3]

Consumer Report did a comparison of a ton of waxes, including pastes/carnuba, liquid, sprays, etc. Black Magik liquid wax actually came out on top. I've used it quite a few times and its the best I've used yet. I detail cars as well, and have used many of the waxes on the market (besides some of the crazy expensive stuff like the Zaino kit and all that). I used P21S, some expensive German carnuba paste wax, and it was garbage. So go figure...

Yes and consumer reports isn't a joke or anything //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Okay, so I used the products on many cars I've detailed in the past, and it's a complete joke right? The one that won their comparison laid down the thickest, best looking coat of wax I've seen, and was also the best bang for the buck. Like I said, the P21S that everyone overhypes is garbage. It's a very thin coat of wax that doesn't last long, and honestly the shine is mediocre at best.

We have some of that Black Magic wax in our garage, I've used it a couple times, and it's OK. My dad loves it and can't get enough of it (black CTS). But like I said, my favorite is still Turtle Wax Platinum, but I don't think they make it anymore.

You should of done the Meguiars 3 step, cleaner, polish then wax

I prefer the professional meguiars products and I use a orbital buffer.
