What product can I use to keep my car clean for longer and get that nice shiny gloss look, my paint code is LC9Z, what are people using?

Not sure if it's possible to keep a black car clean for long... :grin:
I don't know what's best but I'm currently using Collinite 476s wax, seems to last for quite a while before it needs topping up, very durable. Claims to last 12 months but I re-appply every 3 months or so. :smiley:

Same here collinite 476s wax ! Lasts well and do it 3 times a year .. Mine steel grey
-
476s here too. Got some on my bonnet, not had chance to do the rest and its still going strong
-
476 here as well, twice a year, on the wheels as well.

got a black edition 30 myself.
After the wash stage i use a staged approach with Autoglym Super resin polish or Dodo juice Micro prime if the paint is still looking in good condition followed by Poor Boys Black hole glaze.
A wipe down with a QD before applying Purple haze Pro wax, The pro version has some awesome added extras to really give the shine a kick! and its durability if maintained well is superb. For out and out durability ive used Swissvax endurance before but its pricey!
to keep the shine i always have a top up with Dodo red mist as its a lot more than a quick detailer as it contains some of the same properties for sealent as the purple haze pro wax.
I must admit i do love the look on clean black but it can be short lived this time of year.
