Title: Turtle Wax "Black Box Detailing Kit"
Post by: JimmyC92 on October 16, 2014, 11:03:14 pm

Anyone got any experience with the above product? Debating getting it and trying it, however being fairly new to detailing I'm unsure about what products to use, I know Turtle Wax are a pretty well known brand, just wanted to know if anyone else has had a go  :evilgrin:

I wouldn't go for that if your looking for a serious detail.

Let us know what your hoping to achieve and I'm sure people could recommend some better products?

Shameless self promotion but take a look, buy a few of the products I've used. http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,89106.msg902491.html#msg902491

What products do you already have? After you've done all the preperation work to get you to the waxing stage, then find yourself a nice wax, you will have to choose between Man made (sealent) or natural (Carnuba). Both have pro's and both have cons. Also factor into a good wax is how easy it is to apply and remove.

I personally like HD Wax from AutoGlym and I know quite a few other people around here rate it too, but there are many good waxes out there!
