This is the stuff

[6N2 GTI 00]

That's the stuff mate

Best stuff out there for Black cars

[cornishdrummer]

Do they make any thing to stop dust being attracted to the car

and also the back to black stuff, I have some but it aint Turtle Wax Back to Black , so im guessing it would not be good to use that on the bonnet or doors ?

Black Hole Glaze is THE product to buy for dark coloured cars.

Aslong as the paintwork is well polished and clayed, you can just keep topping up with this stuff every clean. It's so much easier to get on and off than any polish/wax. and it does the best job of bringing out a shine and masking swirls and water marks!

I've heard that Collinite used as a LSP can last up to six months. Going on this theory, with every wash do you just layer another coat of black hole/collinite on top of some previously applied collinite or do you break the coat of wax down first with Zymol/something similar?

Once Collinite is on, you can layer polish etc on top as you wish

It definitely doesn't last six months. not visually or water repellent any way.

I haven't got the new car up to standards yet, so it's not in a proper routine yet. But with my old Polo I waxed every 3-4 months, and tried to glaze every wash. With this workflow, I didn't polish it for two years, simply because it didn't need doing after my initial machine polish.

[alexperkins]

I think the time it lasts is very dependant on environment, how many times you wash it etc to be fair. UP TO 6 months is a more fair thing to say, though realistically it is about 3-4

Klasse AIO and sealant glaze on the other hand can last up to a year quite easily

Mine has been on since November. Wash it every couple of weeks, starting to show it needs reapplying now. For the price it's brilliant stuff.

[cornishdrummer]

How long will a tin last roughly ?

[alexperkins]

Months and months

[cornishdrummer]

Its worth its price tag then.

this is the one aint it

[Godderz23]

That's the one mate. Will last a couple years if you use it properly. A couple thin coats every 4-5 months.

Yep, I'm still on my original tin.

Just bought some black hole tonight myself... does it really mask swirls? 5 coats of SRP hasn't done the trick for me

Yeah it really does mask the swirls mate, I can vouch for that after using it for 2 years
