Dodo Juice Waxes offered color charged waxes too. I have only heard mixed results with the Black Box products offered at retail. Hopefully if you try, you can provide the forum a review.

I used the Black Box kit to do a 09 Silverado. You have to use
a small amount of product. Doing that and following the procedure
recommended on the kit the results where very good. The truck
has been sold so I don't know how long it lasts.

I have the spray detailer but have not tried it yet. But was wondering if anyone else has tried it.

Here's a picture after using Turtle Wax Black Spray Detailer.

Last week I used a Adam's Clay Bar, then buffed with Adam's Swirl and Haze Remover. Day later I waxed with Adam's Buttery Wax and applied Adam's Spray Detailer. Two days later I washed and applied detail spray again. Today I dusted the car with a California Duster and applied the Turtle Black Spray Detailer.

The product will leave your microfiber towel that you apply it with looking black.......... hope it comes off in the wash.

What do you think of the shine ???

This was the first time I have used this product. We'll have to see how long it lasts and it's durability.

i used the black box from start to finish on my 01 coupe. I think it came out pretty good for just a retail product. The spray detailer works well...and yea...it will leave your microfiber black....but as long as you dont let it sit for a month in the garage it will come out. I just washed all mine in a normal washer and all the black came out. Hope this helps!

You can get the black detailing spray without getting the whole "Black Box" kit?

Turtle products are garbage.

Get a good shine by doing a proper paint correction and using a good quality wax/sealant.

I agree for the most part but I just thought the black tinted detailer couldn't hurt....

I used the black detail spray but it was a very hot and humid day at the car show, surface was hot. It streaked and was hard to get off. This may not be a fair test for this product. I will try again with better conditions.

I've used the Black Box kit on my wife's Trailblazer EXT daily driver. I followed the directions carefully and was surprised by the excellent results. In the past, I held negative opinions about Turtle Wax products, but this one impresses me for use on a daily driver.

For what it's worth, no more black daily driver's for this family. They're way too much work to keep looking even acceptable.
