Title: black wax
Post by: heady2010 on September 26, 2011, 10:46:36 pm

is there such a thing? i have a black restore t-cut at home which is really good as it covers up stone chips, but then once the sealant and wax is on u can see white in the stone chips. cheers

Not a pro but sounds like wax/sealant getting trapped in the stone chips and curing, which causes them to look white.

You need to get them touched up properly so the surface is smooth.

Yeah, that's what I said lol. Just thought if they can add a black element to polish then why not do the same wax, I'd buy it!

Zymol make one and it works surprisingly well. Can't remember the name, think it's Ebony though.

Looks like the Zymol is for non metallic black ?
