Rubbish Boys Original Edition is a great wax for metallics. Definitely makes both of my cars shine and pop

Not everyone likes the wet look but I've been very pleased with the results.

Consumer Reports did a test about a year ago. Black Magic got very high results for gloss and durablity and was rated a best buy over several more pretigious brands inlcluding Griots. Clay bar first though before waxing.

I have 2 dark cars.
I use Menzerna Intensive polish , final polish ii, then Pinnacle Souverän paste.

I used to use Natty's but the Souverän is noticeably deeper for my darks.

Default A Real Purist

About every couple of months, I take my car to the local car wash. Whatever sprays out during the wash is good enough for me. I haven't hand waxed a car in 30 years...why start now? Every couple of years, I take mine to the local "Fast Food Car Wash" and get a $150 detail job. I am just not one to devote 3-4 hours of my precious weekend time to cleaning a car that will just be dirty again in 2 days.

That's the most anti-enthusiast comment I've ever seen on an enthusiast site. Oh, I understand it but you can't be a car lover.

LOL. It might surprise you, but I just take my RX through a car wash, too, no wax, nothing. Once in a blue moon, I'll get it waxed.

There are so many good products on the market today, I use whatever strike my fancy. I have used quit a few of them & tend to like the liquids better.
