I've got a bottle of Black Hole and it's pretty good stuff.

I hope John doesn't mind me sharing my experience on this product (even though I don't know too much about the technical aspects of this type of stuff)

Black hole is best used for a 'show car' kind of look. For those days when you have time and want to give some real shine/sparkle to your D3 (once or twice a year in my case)....

It's important to use it on a clean surface - preferably after a light polishing to remove contaminents. It will not hide deep swirl marks, but does seem to fill in lighter ones very well. Or it least it makes them less visible and gives a really deep shiny finish to darker paintwork.

As jkp said, it is important to use something over the top to protect this finish. I use a Poorboys EX sealant because wax just doesn't work for me on a 'working' 4x4.

I think that jkp's estimate of a bottle lasting 50 uses is probably spot on - you need very little and it goes a long way. It also comes off very easily - much easier than most polishes/sealants.

I wouldn't say it is a quick fix as it doesn't actually correct anything, but as a quick 'cover-up' it works very well. Remember that it is a glaze as used by the companys/valeters that prepare show-cars and isn't really neccesary for someone who just washes their car 3 o 4 times a year. As jkp says it fills in light scratches rather than polishing them out as per a cutting polish.

Any similar product suitable for Zermatt and Stornoway?

Yep - I think it's called White Diamond or something like this. It's the same thing, but has a white'ish colour and is designed for lighter colours (white, silver etc).

Mike 40 - I think it would be fine on Rimini, but best wait for jkp to confirm


BTW - as with all Poorboys stuff, Black Hole smells great. And 11 GBP delivered is a fantastic price - around half what I paid 6 months ago

Would this work on Rimini red??

White diamond is what your after. Black hole, being a 'black' polish is only suitable for black and dark colours.

All the rest will be White Diamond.
