two costs of p21s. First use their paint cleanser or a light compound or maybe even a swirl marker remover.
Its either 30 or 35 for the wax and 10-15 for the paint cleanser. Worth every penny in my opinion, make sure to wait 24hrs between coats of wax.

I would recommend 3M Perfect It 3000 Ultra Fine or Swirl Mark Remover first, then follow up with a good quality wax.
I use p21S (old formula) and it does a great job with ease of use. But Meguire's Medallion is a good product and the NXT wax was recommended by a local paint & body jobber that details vehicles.

Black Velvet Carnauba Wax

Black Velvet Carnauba Waxis the first of its kind. An entirely new generation of concours-quality Carnauba paste. Black Velvet not only creates the depth of color so well known by Carnauba enthusiasts, but it helps to cover scratches and chips.

Incredibly, this remarkable wax provides the same level of UV protection as our Trade Secret, Pizazz and P21S Carnauba waxes, but it also covers flaws. It gives black a depth unequaled by standard Carnauba formulas. It hides imperfections that interfere with reflection.

"I would like to say that Black Velvet is by far the easiest product I have used, to date. The wax is black in color, however it wipes-off colorless. I used ONE white microfiber towel for the entire car's two coats of Black Velvet. The towel was white when I started and white when I finished. I was amazed. Wipe-on in very thin layers. Let it sit for less than a minute, then wipe-off. The finish is amazing. I applied two coats of Black Velvet Wax to the Saab 9-3 Aero in the photo. Congratulations on developing a spectacular product for black cars."

"The Black Velvet Carnauba is the best I have ever used for a black car. After a couple of coats, I can now do the whole Caddy in 30 minutes....Thanks!"

Thank you, Eduardo and Bob! Yes, "Black Velvet" is the ultimate coating for black paint. Never has a black wax been formulated with this level of quality or quantity of Brazilian Carnauba. Never has a "high-end" Carnauba wax been formulated for exclusive use on black vehicles.

Black Velvet may be layered for ultimate depth and protection. Layering creates a coating that can be felt with a "touch". A coating that changes the color of the vehicle. A coating that attracts the eye.

Application Techniques:


Always pre-clean the paint prior to using Black Velvet for the first time. All oxidation should be removed prior to application. (Do not use on older, non-clear coated paint)


Apply a very light amount of Black Velvet to a small area, using the foam applicator. This would be an area you can easily reach.


Wait until you can barely see the flow of the applied wax. The time will vary with the temperature and amount of air movement around you. Windy days require quick application and removal. (Do not allow the wax to dry).


Gently wipe with a soft terry towel or cotton baby diaper. (Do not use terry microfiber towels to buff freshly applied wax, as these towels will remove the wax).


Properly applying Black Velvet will result in a perfect, streak-free gloss. Streaks are caused by fabric softeners, using too much wax, improper cleaning of the paint, or waxing over unstable or old wax coatings. (We prefer appropriate polymer sealant products as a base)


Continue until all areas are covered. If you decide to layer the wax, allow it to cure overnight and apply the next layer. The number of layers is up to you!


We recommend using a pre-wax paint cleaner before applying the first coat. This should be repeated twice a year on a daily driven vehicle. This removes the aged layers of wax and renews the paint for the process to be repeated.
