Turtle wax BLACK BOX!!!!
So I picked up the turtle wax BLACK BOX, and for those of you who aren't in the know this is a wax kit made specifically for black cars and makes some INSANE claims about restoring color and shine etc....... The box is like $25 or so and comes with a cleaner, a wax (carnuba), and 2 applicators. This is a 2 stage process where you apply a cleaner and strip that then stage 2 you apply the wax and polish it. The cleaner and wax are black and are VERY messy. The whole process takes a while (especially if you are doing it by hand) depending on how picky you are, I started on my hood and wound up ENDING with my hood 
Took me about 1 1/2 hours just to do my hood (granted i am REALLY picky and kept buffing and polishing) and I did it all by hand. So when I finished the hood I decided I was going to go buy an electric buffer to make it faster and easier. I took pics of before, after stage 1 and the finished product. The pics don't do it justice, the shine is unreal, it feels silky to the touch and it is like a MIRROR. Tomorrow I am going to finish the rest of the car and I will post pics when I get a chance. If you have a black C43 i RECOMMEND you spend the 25$ on the BLACK BOX

Here are the pics
here are the pics of my hood and bumper, I forgot to take a picture of my finished bumper before I put it on but I will get a picture of it on the car.
The first 2 pics are of my hood before I used the black box. Take note that I washed my car with ICE car wash and dried it with shammys per the instructions on the black box.
