Dark Colored Cars

I have been detailing cars for a few years now, currently a fresh in college but had my own business in high school and still do it on the side. Anyways I thought I'd check this forum out and see what you guys had for opinion on dark colored cars...

Right now I have a superblack max and usually use a variety of waxes but want to start experimenting and seeing what other products out there are good. I think I remember 3m making a product but want to see what you guys use...Thanks!!!

Well, you named one good brand off the bat. 3M. Others of us use Meguiar's, Gliptone, Klasse, Zaino, Pinnacle, Menzerna, Einszett (soon to be part of my personal stash).

One of the forum "regulars" (bluesbrekr) has a Super Black Max that he used Menzerna, Klasse, and topped off with S100 wax.

Haha your like my exact twin, dropped on maxpseeds, superblack, clears and so on...

The menzerna, where can I get that and any more specifics on that as well as the klasse with the s100 wax? I have been using Meguirs #26 and I think #7, the cleaner and then the glaze on top. My experiences have been ok with zymol or mothers but for black so far meguiars has been good, but once I get more info on the products described time to go shopping ...

I can't wait until spring start, looking at my car with dirt all over it kills me. I don't even want to think about the scratches or marks under all of that dirt from winter driving

Menzerna here:

http://www.properautocare.com/

There are 2 grades of Menzerna. They have a 'kit' with both. The more aggressive one works well with medium type scratches. The other is a finer polish and really made my paint look deeper.

They have Klasse, too. It's a synthetic and really holds up well in the colder climates. You can get S100 from any Harley Shop. Applied over the 2 step Klasse system S100 really makes my Max look good!

superblack: I think you have that order backwards. You don't put a carnuba wax before a glaze.
