Best Car Paint Glaze | Meguiars Glaze 7, 3M Hand Glaze, Chem Guys Black Light, Poorboy's Black Hole

[@benhook1850]

Amazing video again. I’ve bought a bottle of Poorboys Black Hole about a year back now and it’s sat on my self and I’ve not used it yet! This has inspired me tomorrow to get it cracked open and wash my car. That’s if it’s not raining in the UK.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

I’m sure you’ll love the way it applies, feels and looks.

[@valkyrie_voodoo]

I watch every video you upload and when i get done with them i’m always watching your old videos. i always get a response from you when i comment and like always i can’t express how much knowledge you’ve given me. Thank you. i’m currently doing a correction and coating on an Audi A7. Watching your video i’ve come to learn harder paints are typically easier to work on however this paint seems to of been washed with a 007 steel wool instead of a wash mitt and a bucket of sand instead of a bucket of wash solution. Nonetheless i hope to finish the first step tomorrow and get started on the second step. Thanks again Sandro. Love from the US

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks mate and I also appreciate all your comments and support. The steel wool washed paint brings back memories lol, wish you luck but I’m sure it’ll look amazing once you’re done!

[@gamma2348]

I use the poorboys for ages in my midnight blue pearl and it gives amazing dark wet look.

[@crimsonpirate1710]

Yeah, PBBH has been in my kit for years now. I use it once a year then wax over it and its amazing. Wont use anything else. Glad to hear it came out so well. Its cheap here in the UK. So easy to apply and take off. Most of all, the car looks great.

It was 45 yrs ago but it can still send chills down my spine to think about a black or dark blue Caprice from Canada or a Monza from K.C or a Monte Carlos from Baltimore covered with dirt, scratches even hydraulic oil rolled off the truck. Any hope in making a brand new dark color car with single stage paint actually look like a new car was H7. It had a pea green color and was very oily which is what made it work so well on dark colors but you didn't want to let it dry or it would soak in and then you were buffing it out. It washed off pretty quick too was just good enough to get the car off the lot... :/

[@larrydavisj]

I'm glad I watched this video. I kinda knew Poorboys would take the gold. I know that Hybrid Solutions Black Wax ceramic acrylic has been out for about four or more years now, so I would like to see how it compares. I know it's not a glaze, but I've seen it in action and it does very well.

[@frankr2513]

I use poorboys black hole religiously. It's incredible. Fills a bunch and leaves a deep, ink like depth.

[@christopherkovacic6873]

Good video I might have to add some poor boys black hole one day to the shelf, I grabbed some blacklight awhile back for a quick going over on a presale as the interior took way to long to polish the exterior as well for the budget, I was happy enough with the outcome for how easy it was to apply

[@subarubrat]

Great video, Sandro.👍 Poorboy's Black Hole topped off with their Natty's Blue paste wax is my favourite summer combo on my blue Impreza. So enjoyable to use and looks great. My other favourite glaze is Prima Amigo.👍

[@HantsLeo]

Good job Sandro as always. I've just switched to a black car and I've been worried about the fillers in all-in-one polishes making the stone chips go white. I can see why black hole has such a good reputation and it may help me out. It's a company car and i do high mileage so it's not worth spending a lot of money touching in the chips. Good health to you.

[@detailersgarage]

Great job and information as always.

[@jbrown7403]

Very interesting! I just did a full polish and glaze on my M4 and I used the Meguiar’s Mirror. I now wish that I used the Poorboys. Next time I will.

[@alk3myst]

I am not sure of the others but the Mequairs is designed for panels without clear coat (only single stage paint). With a clear coat it never really gets absorbed. Some like the "new car glaze": Both are non-abrasive or pure polishes. M05 dries fast and dries powdery white and was/is intended for high humidity production environments, mostly body shops, dealerships and detailers. It came out in the 1950's so the name was originally used as it implied for use on new cars in the 1950's which would have been acrylic lacquer paints. M07 is a very wet product and doesn't really dry, so it's the opposite of M05. It contains the richest concentration of polishing oils out of any paint related polish from Meguiar's.

[@mackyocum5218]

Cars of the 1950s didn’t all use lacquer, only GM did, Ford always used enamel paint because it was more durable in the long run. GM used lacquer because it polished shinier for the showroom but had long term durability problems because the film was harder than enamel and much more prone to chipping.The chipping problem was really shown by the amount of surface rust that developed around the chrome windshield and other glass moldings on GM cars when the vibration of driving chipped the paint off under the molding and then rust would migrate out under the paint around the molding.

[@snail415]

Sandro, Really appreciate these videos. While of course we love any major project you tackle with cutting-edge products, these reviews are just as important as we get older and more experienced. They’re more entertaining than you might think. I still have a tin of FK1000P. I almost never use it, but I’d never let go of it. And that’s what wisdom and experience provides. Thanks for making those decisions easier for us. As always, take care.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks Bob and great to here that, it really is one of those super rewarding products!

[@vdgitaliano]

Meguire's number 7 is not the same as it was 10 years ago. There is an oil that they used to get from the bark of a tree that is now completely farmed out, it's gone extinct. They no longer are able to put that same oil into their product so the mirror glaze number 7 is not the same product. I used to love meguire 7 because it was unmatched In how deep it would make your paint look. the stuff that they have today is garbage. Plus the price now is ridiculous. I believe that poorboy is the best value for the money and I agree it's the easiest to use. However, easy come easy go as they say. I do find that I have to apply it more frequently than perhaps other glazes or polishes. And I absolutely LOVE to follow it up 24 hkurs after applying it with Griot's ceramic 3 in 1 wax final spray. It smells amazing, it makes the paint look glass smooth and it also prevents debris from sticking. We drove across country over the summer and the bugs were caked on. I used rainex bug remover and that was a fail... but by chance I sprayed the griot's 3 in 1 on and the bugs came right off WITH NO EFFORT OTHER THAN SPRAYING AND QUICKLY WIPING!!!. It is also an amazing "in-between waxings" product to use. It makes the car shine like crazy even though it only takes about ten minutes to wipe down the whole car. One of my favorite go to products. Great job as usual Sandro!

[@gbthegreat]

The thing with the CG Black Light is… it is a sealant and glaze. It also contains mild abrasives so cannot be applied onto a sealant because it will abrade it. So it is part of a system such as layering over it with CG Jet seal. Whereas Poorboy’s I find is a true glaze that can be applied over a sealant. I have both but shame the poorboy’s does not last all too long. All of them have their drawbacks. I tend to chop and change between black light and black hole show glaze.

[@BearThatSwings]

How long does poorboys last

[@Ichabod_Jericho]

Damn, this sold me on poor boys to say the least. Especially being a business owner I consider price before anything😅 I would love topping Jescar Ultra Lock+ with that glaze…not sure if too much saturation will create a ghostly or milky finish though. Only one way to find out!! Thank you for these crazy in-depth reviews. I was eagerly awaiting a video on glazes and look forward to another one including our winner here.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

My pleasure mate. Ideally you’d go Black Hole followed by UltraLock+, but it you just want something more temporary to top Jescar and make the paint look more amazing then you can certainly just use it as a topper.

Thanks and my pleasure mate. I honestly don’t know much about the brand but I will add it to my list.

[@snail415]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing I’ve used their products, and they’re solid. They’re out of New Jersey. Their sleeper product is a cutting compound called LVR321 Knockout. Cuts through severely neglected paint like nothing I’ve used before, and somehow sets you up for a fine polish when it begins to close its cycle. Isn’t oily and dust-free like 3D One, but it easily cuts at the 1k-grit level. But yeah, Topper is a high-shine product that many swear-by. They also have a black wax similar to what Poorboys offer.

[@Housemusic86]

Another great video. Would you add this on top of a wax or sealant or add a wax/protection on top?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks, and you’d typically add your wax/sealant over it to seal the finish. Surprisingly it can actually last relatively long topping certain glazes, my advice is to try and wait 12-24hrs to top them and it should go well.

[@Bobby-wo4ub]

You saved so much time again! You are meticulous and your approach is scientific. Thank you, Sandro! For glazing Maserati black, I bought Poorboy's World Black Hole Show Glaze for Dark Vehicles, Which pad do you reocmmend for application? CARPRO Gloss Pad or Lack Country Black HDO Finishing Pad?

[@stephenwhite5444]

Awesome video bro! What would you put over that Black Hole to give it durability? I'm not really sure if anything really bonds over the top of a glaze....most glazed are full of oils. Do you have any thoughts on what will work good over them to lock in those oils and add good durability? I'm fixing to do a red single stage paint and want to put something on it (besides a ceramic coating) to keep it from oxidizing that'll last at least 6m or longer.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks, and as you mentioned I don’t think long term protection when laying over a glaze is the easiest thing to accomplish - but you can still make it last longer with something like a paint sealant on top, maybe a liquid sealant like Jescar Ultra Lock+ or Meguairs Ceramic Liquid Wax could be good options.

[@MaN2Mega]

Is this glaze added on after a Polish? And is ceramic coating put on top of it? Or is glaze a replacement for one of the two?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

A glaze is generally used after polishing and can also be topped with a wax or sealant - a glazed is used to enhance the look of paint prior further. A glazed shouldn’t be used prior to a ceramic coating and wouldn’t really be considered a substitute for one.

[@plightn]

Wonder how Poor boys would compare to Turtle Wax black Acrylic ceramic polish in filling capability.

[@karenwirtz4089]

Could u use both a polish and glaze before using wax?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Polishing prior to using a glaze and or wax generally improves the performance of those products as it deep cleans the paint. Just try and do an IPA wipe after polishing to remove the oils - you can use something like Poorboy’s Surface Prep spray.

[@iBlackDan6]

Is Poorboys Black Hole suitable for light coloured cars? Not many YT reviews on Poorboys White Diamond. I have 2 light coloured cars and would appreciate your advice as I’m unsure which glaze to to buy. Awesome review as always Sandro.

[@BB_Detailing_00]

They have a white one as well. Just as good, but more for light colored cars. I think it's called White Diamond

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Black Hole definitely looks great on lighter coloured cars as well. In my experience a good looking wax, sealant or glaze looks great no matter the base colour paint, it’s more so that you see a greater impact the way light absorbs into darker colours vs the way it reflects on lighter colours.

Does poorboys or chemical guys actually look better than a high quality wax or sealant?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

I think the issue answering that question is the more subjective appeal or look of car waxes that seems to be a more personal thing rather than necessarily objective or the way I tend to judge them. Glazes seem to have that more pronounced wet dark and glassy look, whereas many at least traditional waxes don’t so much. It could be the reason way a decade or two ago lots of car enthusiasts loved starting with a glaze and topping it with a wax to have the best of both worlds.
