Black Paint Specialist
Gloss that goes deeper than the surface
EXTREME GLOSS Black Hard Wax (KIWAMI) pairs natural Carnauba warmth with synthetic polymer durability, producing a layered, three-dimensional wet-look shine that standard waxes rarely achieve on dark paint. It is built around what black and dark-coloured finishes actually need: colour richness, depth, and a surface that stays cleaner for longer.
Why KIWAMI
Built for Dark Paintwork
Every aspect of this formula is tuned for black and dark-coloured finishes.
-
Mirror-Like Depth
The hybrid formula stacks Carnauba warmth over synthetic gloss for a deep, wet-look reflection on dark paint.
-
Tight Water Beading
Strong hydrophobic properties sheet water and contaminants off the surface, keeping your paint cleaner between washes.
-
Contaminant Barrier
Protects against UV rays, road grime, and environmental fallout with a durable polymer-reinforced wax layer.
-
Effortless Buff-Off
Smooth consistency applies thinly and hazes cleanly, leaving no chalky residue on paint or trim.
KIWAMI vs. Generic Hard Wax
What Sets It Apart
Most hard waxes do a reasonable job on light paint. On black and dark finishes the difference between a wax tuned for the job and a generic alternative shows quickly in gloss depth, beading performance, and how easy it is to maintain.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Formulated specifically for dark and black paint | Yes | No |
| Hybrid Carnauba + synthetic polymer formula | Yes | No |
| Strong hydrophobic water beading | Yes | Yes |

Protection Included
A finish worth protecting, and the protection to keep it
Beyond the gloss, KIWAMI forms a durable barrier that repels water, road grime, UV radiation, and environmental fallout. Tight water beading means less dirt sticks between washes, and maintenance becomes a quick rinse rather than a full detail every time.

Questions
Frequently asked
What paint colours is this wax suited to?
KIWAMI Black Hard Wax is formulated specifically for black and dark-coloured paintwork. The formula is engineered to enhance depth and colour richness on dark finishes rather than lighter colours, so it gives its best results on black, dark grey, dark blue, and similar deep tones.
How do I apply it?
Work on a cool, clean panel out of direct sunlight. Apply a thin, even layer using a foam or microfibre applicator pad, using small circular or straight overlapping strokes. Allow the product to haze lightly, then buff off with a clean, plush microfibre cloth. Less product per coat gives a cleaner result and an easier buff-off.
How long should I let it flash before buffing?
Flash time depends on temperature and humidity, but typically a light haze in 2-5 minutes is your cue to start buffing. Avoid letting it sit too long in direct sun or on very hot paint, as it can become harder to remove. Test one small panel first to dial in the timing for your conditions.
Can I apply it by machine polisher?
Yes. A dual-action polisher on a low setting with a soft finishing pad works well and speeds up application over larger panels. Keep machine speed low to avoid excessive heat build-up, which can affect how the wax hazes and buffs off.
How durable is the protection?
As a Carnauba-synthetic hybrid wax, you can expect solid protection over several weeks of regular washing and exposure. Exact longevity varies with wash frequency, climate, and parking conditions. Reapplication every 4-8 weeks is a reasonable maintenance interval for a consistent finish and beading performance.
Can I use this on top of a ceramic coating or paint sealant?
Yes. KIWAMI Black Hard Wax can be used as a topper over a cured ceramic coating or synthetic sealant to add extra gloss depth and an additional layer of hydrophobic performance. Ensure the underlying coating is fully cured and the surface is clean and decontaminated before applying.
Is it safe on rubber trim, plastic, or glass?
The wax is designed for painted surfaces. It will not permanently stain rubber or plastic trim, but wipe any overspray off trim pieces promptly to avoid a white residue building up. On glass it can leave a slight haze - mask or avoid glass panels, or buff thoroughly with a dedicated glass cloth if any product transfers over.
How much product does a 200g tin cover?
A 200g tin is sufficient for multiple full-vehicle applications on an average-sized car when applied in thin coats as recommended. Hard waxes are economical when used sparingly - a thin coat performs better than a thick one and makes buffing noticeably easier.
