The shots of my car in my gallery were taken after using the black box. It's messy but the results are absolutely fantastic. I know I know..colored waxes are just a gimmick...but IMO...that **** works and you can look for yourself.

It dyes your clear coat you don't want that and it does not clean your car or even protect it.
A good detail and buff job will always be better for your car and look better.
