Black Is Back
Turtle Wax has Black Box Kit, a two-step system specially designed to clean, shine and protect the finish of black vehicles.
The Black Box Kit is the industry first, all-in-one solution, consisting of three products specifically designed for the maintenance of black finishes, including a finish restoring pre-wax cleaner, a restorative carnauba car wax and a detailer containing the latest black tinted reflective polymer technology.
The Black Box Kit features a simple two-step system; you can simply apply the black liquid pre-wax cleaner, which contains precision polishing and swirl removing ingredients that deep clean the paint to increase finish. This polishing compound-based product will also fill in stone chips and deep scratches. The second step is to apply the black carnauba liquid car wax, which produces a uniform look to the exterior paint and helps seal the finish.
The black spray detailer included in the kit facilitates both steps of the system by helping remove excess pre-wax cleaner. The detailer can be used separately as a final detail.
