Automotive waxes???

I am somewhat partial to black vehicles (and sleds) IMO...nothing looks better than a clean well polished black car. I have my mustang and I have it professionally cleaned once a year, namely to get that gray film off that others of you that own black vehicles know what I am referring to. Shoot2kill suggested using Meguiars "Insane shine" on my sled which I have been very happy with and I also am a big fan of Meguiars products. With the advent of these "Ceramic" waxes has anyone used them? do they protect better against or deter the gray film that is so much fun to remove from black painted vehicles? We just purchased another black vehicle, this one has metal flake in paint and within a couple weeks it is hard to see metal flake. I have not put any kind of wax on vehicle yet, was just curious if anyone has used the new "Ceramic" products and if it helps against the dreaded gray film. other than for a few weeks of the year my sled is indoors and doesnt see the environmental contaminants like the vehicles do so dont think however Insane shine works well on sled it may not do what I want on a vehicle that spends most time outdoors.

i was impressed with what i got off my finish using a clay bar once in a while.
caution, don't contaminate your bar by dropping it on the ground!!!

I know...I know... easy answer...don't buy a black vehicle and yes jime I've used a clay block and I agree it does a great job but lots of work, would be different if I kept vehicles primarily indoors but I don't other than Mustang 6 months out of the year. Was hoping todays "ceramic coatings/waxes would help minimize the film

A lot of folks shy away from paint coatings. There are some super simple DIY products out there which I would recommend over a traditional wax. And they don't typically get a "gray" effect. If you would entertain that, Undrdog HCC is a phenomenal coating with a super simple install process. Highly recommend checking them out. If you are looking for a more affordable solution, their Underdog Pro coating is great too. But for a new vehicle, I'd highly recommend going all in with HCC!!!
