After reading this year's Auto Express testing I decided to try "Turtle Wax Platinum Extra Gloss Protection" on my daily driver last Sunday.....

I've tried numerous waxes as, being black, the car looks great when clean but shows up dirt and water marks so soon after a bout of bad weather. So as this Turtle Wax product beat the best of the rest in their comparisons I thought I'd give it a go - especially at £10 a bottle!

 

I must say I was very impressed at the ease of use and even more so at the car's appearance!! Especially after it has rained each day so far; the car still has that "just cleaned" look with no water marks:hyper:

 

I can highly recommend it - especially to all you folks with black or dark cars! It's not a polish though, more a gloss protector. My car previously had been polished with "Colour Magic" followed by a coat or 2 of Meguairs NXT before Sunday. But I just washed it with the matching shampoo and applied the new stuff..........

Pics look super. Black is such the best colour when its clean.

 

I always use AutoGlyn Deep shine. Thats for black cars and also really good. You dont end up with the funny deeper dark swerls ect. You get a nice even finish

 

 

Also in the first pic i can see a sprint blue Fiat coupe with a full Zender kit. fantastic motors :cool:

Sounds good but as you said Richard its a top coat so you need a good polished coat first but if it keeps your car clean in this weather its well worth a try:)

Yup - that was the idea Gary;)

 

Now winter is upon us I doubt I'll be washing the cars nearly as much so anything that keeps them looking good for longer is just the ticket!
