Ive always used Blackhole before waxing as it fills in any imperfections then you seal with with the wax?

Would of thought using Blackhole after waxing would take layers off the wax as its potentially a polish.

*EDIT

It does also state on the bottle to use before waxing or sealants.

That sounds right to me. But, I think it's a replacement for the polishing stage. I don't think it's abrasive in any way.

It would be fine to use on any colour. Best results on dark colours though.

I currently use "Bilt Hamber" resin polish & Finis wax on my Wife's '09 Fiesta Titanium in panther black which looks fantastic but am Still going to get some "Poorboys BlackHole" and try it on my colour "Hypnotic Silver" as you can never have to much shine!

Finally got round to claying the car and waxing. I used the t cut clay bar kit. I was very pleased but boy am I shagged now. 4 hours.

Jet wash, shampoo, jet wash, clay bar, shampoo, jet wash (because the clay residue dried on the car) then a good wax.

How long do I need to leave it before I wax my car again? Is it something you do every time you wash it or?

Polishing machines great mine was £50 from Halfords, I polish our cars every other month but I use "Bilt Hamber" Auto Balm" every other week takes 20 -25 minutes and looks great especially on darker colours
