Endorsed!: Turtle Wax Black Box and PG Wonder Clay

I know a number of you would be surprised at this... I'm a bit of a car detailing buff. I don't do it often though, and neither am I the obsessive type (must be squeky clean, every detail polished etc.etc.) but I do admire well polished and clean cars! Having said that, I've never sent my car for polishing/waxing, most of the time I've been doing it myself!... I used to use PermaGlass Polymer Sealant (pretty good general all in one paint sealant) but this Turtle Wax BLACK BOX stuff caught my eye the last time I was in Eneos, One Utama and have been mulling whether to get it done.

I actually spent a good 15-20 minutes in front of the box just thinking whether to purchase it! It's pretty expensive, total cost about RM170 (Turtle Wax Black Box, PG Wonder Clay, Eneos Tyre Shine and 2 pieces Mr. Clean microfibre cloth.)

I started of by washing the car, drying and leaving it overnight. The actual polish and waxing job started the next day 9:30AM and lasted me 5 hours! Basically the sequence was:

1. Clay bar using PermaGlass Wonder Clay
2. Dry car.
3. Turtle Wax Pre-Wax Cleaner
4. Turtle Wax Spray Detailer with microfibre cloth
5. Clean off any markings with clean microfibre cloth
6. Turtle Wax Black Carnauba Wax
7. Turtle Wax Spray Detailer, with microfibre cloth
8. Touch up on tyre and black rubber linings with Eneos Tyre Shine and Polyglaze Interior.

And below are the results! Please take note the pics are taken with my ancient 3.2Mp camera phone:

My whole body was really aching, especially waking up the next day. It was a good workout, but I really doubt whether I want to do it again!

So lat but not least, Turtle Wax Black Box is awarded the Joygerm Endorsement!
