Hey everyone,

I have a black pearl Jeep Patriot and just picked up the Turtle Wax Black Box because it was recommended to me. I have ZERO experience in using pigmented waxes and this is my first "black" vehicle, albeit a pearl paint :icon_rolleyes: is this "safe" for pearl paints? Just curious. I can't to find much information on it.

Thanks in advance!

I don't understand your logic.

 

I thought I was clear on my question. Sorry if I wasn't. Is my Patriot's paint job going to benefit from this or is the wax just for straight gloss black paints?

Ask them.

 

Ask them.

Apparently this forum isn't welcoming to newbies with questions. Duly noted. Thanks for the advice or lack thereof...

 

Is your paint jacked up?

"One-of-a-kind black tinted pre-cleaner and conditioner removes scratches, swirl marks and surface contaminants."

I would not use this product.

 

I gave my jeep the black box treatment n was very pleased with the result.

 

 

Are you going to use a buffer to restore your finish, or do it by hand?

 

I've used the Turtle wax black box on my Porsche but that was single stage paint, I would assume that a lot of waxes currently made are clear-coat safe therefore your Patriot should benefit from this product.

 

Total cut...

 

I have a friend with a black wrangler and he highly recommends it for waxing, he recommended it to my friend with an SRT8 black Jeep and both had great results. They wouldn't make it specifically for black paint jobs if it didnt benefit your black finish in any way.

 

Yes they would. It is called marketing...

 

I have the same paint, Bought the TW Black Box. If you follow the instructions, it is truly spectacular. Remember it is a wax not a sealant
and would have to be done every 4 to 6 weeks depending on conditions.
