Turtle Was Black Car detailer spray

I don't know if any of you have tried the Turtle Wax Black Car Detailer spray or not but I am here to tell you that you should use it. It comes out a dark color and it gets rid of swirl marks and covers up minor paint flaws. I put it on my entire car with 1 rag and then go over it with a clean dry microfiber rag and it comes out fantastic.

One note about the spray, don't get it on your clothes, it does not come out of your clothes easy.

I would like to hear what others think of this stuff if you have a chance to try it.

It's like shoe polish for your car. If you like it, great. Personally couldn't pay me to use it if I had a black car.

I tried it, as with the "Black Box" by Turtle Wax. Same impression from both. I quickly realized that I would rather see the swirlies that constantly remind me about the need to actually correct the paint, than to just keep trying to cover them with up with fillers for a couple of days. In short,

It's just a temp fix and it comes out dull compared to spray cleaners that I use at car shows i.e. Adams Waterless wash, Meguiers etc.

Everyone has different expectations, etc.

If you like the finished, then keep using it.

It's your car!
