    my dad used to use the ultimate package or w/e on his viper
    kept the paint MINT
    and the shine would last for 2 weeks or more before BEGINING to dull
    didnt know about the antistatic... thats pretty neat

    but yes, they're KILLER EXPENSIVE
    i think my dad paid like $120? for the ultimate
    (which has everything you could ever imagine to detail)
    HOLY MOLY! I'll have to check them out!

      the wax is black pigmented so it fills any minor surface scratches
      (caused by washing)

      its like a 3 step system... takes a little bit more time
      but i think the end product is well worth it!
      Is that the turtle wax? So it really fills in small surface scratches?

            yeah...
            the wax is black pigmented
            so it gets caught in the scratches
            and blends real well
            rather than tradtional waxes that just put a glaze
            over the scratches

            i also use the meguires swirl-x
            when i got my car it had swirl marks all over
            after using this stuff you can hardly tell

              I've used the Swirl-X before and I didn't really like it. I'm going to try the Black Box! Thanks!

                Another item I have found to be very good is the California Duster. It works well in removing dust that always seems to be on the car within a few hours of washing/waxing. You can buy it at your typical auto parts and supplies box stores.

                    Since the rainy season started here, no can do yet, but I think I know what I'm doing in the spring.

                    Oh, and my advice, save the raw painstaking detail work for meets, shows, show'n'shines, or magazine article photoshoots if you have a black car. for the rest, you're goign to get dust and pollen as a matter of course but you'll drive yourself sane trying to keep it spotless.

                      if you want to keep a waxed black car clean....

                      Dont drive it!

                      oh and once it is waxed cover that damn thing in plastic wrap or shrink wrap it to keep the dirt off of it.

                        HAHA, I was just thinking about getting a car cover for it, not sure if it's worth it though.

                          But make sure you break it in properly by putting it down on newspaper overnight before using it on the car. That will remove the excess wax from the brush and it won't streak when you use it. It removes dust without making scratches in the paint. I use mine once an hour during car shows.

                            I actually just bought a California Duster today and I think its amazing it pulled all the dust off my car from my stupid gravel driveway lmfao
