I recommended it to a friend who has just bought a black Renault Clio the other week and she thinks the products are great easy to use and suited to the colour of her car, so good find.

Having followed this thread i popped down to Halfrauds and purchased a black box, box.

At first I was sure I had just had £25 unloaded from my wallet but the trick seems to be the spray detailer, this has to be used to remove both the pre-cleaner and wax.
I must admit that the black box system made the car almost a mirror. This annoyingly showed small imperfections including a small trolley dent that i had never even seen before.

All in all a very black, black car and i would recommend this to anyone else.

My father also has a black car (BMW 07reg metallic black) now no longer nearly black, just black

I had forgotten about this post. Great that someone tried it and liked it... Awesome stuff. Any pics of the end result?
