Built for Dark Paint
Depth and gloss that black paint deserves
Dark and black paint hides nothing - swirl marks, water spots, and dullness all show immediately. Soft99 Dark & Black Wax is blended to bring out the natural depth and richness of dark finishes, leaving a wet-look gloss backed by a hydrophobic layer that keeps contamination from bonding easily to the surface.

How It Compares
Soft99 Dark & Black Wax vs a generic paste wax
A standard paste wax will protect paint, but it is not optimised for dark finishes. Here is where the difference shows up in practice.

Questions
Frequently asked
Which paint colours is this wax suited to?
Soft99 Dark & Black Wax is formulated for black, dark blue, charcoal, brown, and similar deep-coloured paint finishes. Always confirm your paint colour is compatible before applying. It is not recommended for white, silver, or other light colours.
How do I apply Dark & Black Wax?
Wash and dry the vehicle thoroughly first. Using the included foam applicator sponge, work a thin, even layer of wax onto one panel at a time using light circular or straight-line strokes. Allow the wax to haze, then buff off with a clean, dry microfibre cloth. Work in the shade and avoid applying in direct sunlight or on hot paint.
Does it need a machine or can I apply it by hand?
Dark & Black Wax is designed for hand application. The included foam sponge is all you need. Keep coats thin - less product per pass gives a cleaner, easier buff-off and a better finish.
How long should I let it flash before buffing?
Allow the wax to haze until it dulls and loses its wet look - typically a few minutes depending on temperature and humidity. Avoid leaving it too long, particularly in warm conditions, as it can become harder to buff off cleanly.
How long does the protection last?
Soft99 rates the New Wax range as long-lasting, though durability depends on wash frequency, exposure to the elements, and maintenance. Regular maintenance washes that avoid harsh degreasers will extend the life of the coating noticeably.
Can I apply this over a paint sealant or ceramic coating?
As a finishing wax it can generally be applied over cured sealants as a topper for added gloss, but it should not be applied over an active or uncured ceramic coating. If you are topping a ceramic coating, ensure the coating is fully cured and that the manufacturer permits wax toppers before proceeding.
Is it safe on trim, rubber seals, and glass?
This product is formulated for painted surfaces. Avoid direct application to unpainted plastic trim, rubber seals, and glass. If product lands on these areas during application, wipe it off before it hazes. Tape off trim if needed.
What finish should I expect after buffing?
Expect a deep, rich, wet-look gloss with strong colour depth and clarity on dark paint. Water should bead and sheet off cleanly, and the surface will feel smooth and slick to the touch. There should be no white residue or haziness left behind if applied in a thin coat and buffed off properly.
