Best black polish for black cars?

Sounds silly but autoglym and the like only do white polish which is a nightmare on black cars, it gets into cracks and stains black plastic trim

Whats the best black polish you can get for black cars?

Turtlewax do a clear wax that leaves no residue. Ok not what you asked but again I can only think of turtlewax if you want a black polish as well. Unless you want to try cherry blossom

Heard good things about the Autoglym Ultra Deep Shine - supposed to be better on dark colours. (of course, this could be what you have already tried).

Although it is very good, i don't think it's really a polish.

Where's Eidolon? He gets a lovely finish on his mr2.

Did somebody call my name?

I go through 3 processes to get my car to gleam.
Firstly use the Meguiars Stage 1 paint cleaner to remove any crap or swirls from the bodywork.
Next I use Autoglym Super Resin Polish to give a deep shine.
Finally I seal it all with Meguiars Gold Class or NXT wax.
The whole process takes about a day but I only do that once or maybe twice per year. The rest of the time I just top up the wax, maybe on a monthly basis (during Summer time)

It seems to work ok

Filth!

That looks great, but your far more dedicated than me. The last time my car saw polish was for Trax lol

Not bad when you can count the leaves in the trees in the reflection.

Eidolon - do you do the whole 3 stage treatment to the whole car, plastic bumpers and all?

I use meguars stage 2, and then the nxt on top every 3 months comes up nice considering the car isnt exactly mint, meguiars is better than auto glym for black cars, i have a full bottle of turtle wax tbh its really is crap.
