Yeah i think that's supposed to be really good... friend of mine who works at a car wash said that was turtle's best stuff. I was actually looking for the one time but couldn't find it so i bought a different one... I will have to try that out tho.

side note: the **** stain's concrete....like pressure washer wont get it off kind of stain lol....and its going to ruin every towel you put on it....and your shirt/pant's/shoe's so be prepared...buff for best result's

I tried it over the weekend. I did not take any pics but I'll share my experience.
DO NOT DO IT WHEN THE CAR IS HOT lol. that **** is sooooo hard to get off if the paint is hot. I ended up doing just the hood and then waiting until it was almost dark out to do the rest of the car. Like someone up above said, it takes a long ass time. The end result is nice. I don't think it compares to a cutting pad as far as removing swirls, but it did make mine less noticeable. (dealer buffed my car before i got it). All in all, worth $20.

I agree, use a buffer, cool paint and patience. If anything I noticed the greatest improvement on the plastic parts and hood. Is it worth 20 bucks, yes, will it take you all damn day, yup. I ended up doing the "step one" twice because i wasn't quite happy with the results. And to the person who said the top coat could be better, yea I agree but hey it looks damn good on my car, and I'll say this again, it turned out better on the plastic parts than the metal.
It was dark again when I finished, and dark tonight when I got home from work...pictures this weekend.

That's the result of Black Box.
It did take a LONG time, but I guess it was worth it. I clayed the car about a month ago so I had a little build up but nothing the cleaner wax didn't get.

My paint looked pretty shitty prior, even after clay, I'm a regular roadcourse driver and the car just picks up all kinds of crap and looks horrible in no time..but it's so much FUN.

I actually just picked this kit up yesterday. My paint is in really really bad condition and the car needs a very good cleaning. I have a feeling this is going to take a long time but with the help of a couple good friends I have a feeling this will turn out well. I will get some pics up tomorrow.

no joke if I had help I woulda been done in LESS than half the time. It was 93 in the shade the day I did the step one even with a buffer it wasn't exactly cooperative, but go back to the first page and the result speaks for itself.
