Obsidian Black E63 + Poorboys Black Hole.

[AMGeed]

Went to a small GTG yesterday and the road in to the venue was like a rally track with horse cr@p, mud and deep puddles for a couple of miles
The car was filthy, so today I got to try the Poorboys Black Hole sealant after giving the car a thorough wash. It's turned out pretty well I think and a big thumbs up to Black Hole..
Didn't have the energy to finish with the untried Bilt Hamber double speed wax, but that is for tomorrow.
Just a few from todays clean up.

So today I gave the car the Bilt Hamber Double speed wax treatment.
I found out a couple of things. Firstly, use it sparingly. I used too much on the bonnet and nearly gave up doing the rest, so hard was it to polish the wax off. Lesson learned, use less and its far easier to polish.
The second thing learnt was, I needed a polisher.
So, I went a bought this one which is cheap for a first time user and has decent reviews.

I doubt it will be used until after winter now, so plenty of time to collect extra foam pads and polishing discs.

I did take a few more photos, but as the sky is overcast compared to yesterday , the paintwork actually looks worse in the photos. It's an illusion. The car really has come up well and I'm pleased with both products. Just a few pics taken near to Poole Harbour this afternoon.

These phone photos taken whilst the wax was being applied give a far better picture.

I used black hole some years ago on a car that I bought as a stopgap.

Once home from th dealer and washed a few times it was obvious that someone had cleaned the bonnet with something very abrasive, the dealer had hidden this very well so I wanted to do the same.

Black hole was great for this but I never learned how to seal it properly so that it lasted more than a wash or two.

I think that Crystal serum is the product to use to seal the paintwork. It's not cheap though

How did you find the application of the black hole? I've had a quick try on the boot of my car but either I'm not applying it correct or I'm screwing up some other way as it didn't seem to have made much difference?

^ I used a small square of muslin cloth to apply the Black Hole, doing a small section at a time in circular motions and a large microfibre polishing cloth to remove it.
I'd say it went on just as easy as a liquid polish.

The next time I do it will be with an electric polisher though. Practice first on the wifes Kia

I think I was confused with the instruction " rub until you get a shine then leave to haze" (or words to that effect). I'll try again on the next dry day. Thanks for replying.

I actually don't mind spending a bit on this stuff as most of it goes a long way.

I still have 2/3 of a pot of black widow wax which has done the Mrs' car a couple of times.

I've only bothered with the spray and rinse sruff on the Beemer as it's too bloody big for polishing and waxing.

My obsidian Black CLK320 polished and waxed with Poorboys Black hole and Poorboys blue wax, back in the summertime.
It’s definitely a good combination on a black car!

Awesome stuff, stunning

Thread revival................seeing I used Poorboys Black Hole on the taxi again today.
Polished up nicely but too hot to apply the wax. Maybe early tomorrow morning before the sun gets up.

Can't seem to get on with black hole, do you have any tips??

Black hole is just a filler product, won't last long at all.. best to get the car machine polished and sealed with a wax or ceramic coating..
