Built for Dark Paint
The depth black paint deserves
Most waxes treat all paint the same. The King of Gloss is engineered around the specific optical demands of black and dark paint, where every swirl, haze or flat finish is mercilessly visible. The mineral wax and synthetic resin blend intensifies colour depth and reflectivity rather than simply coating the surface.
Why King of Gloss
Four reasons it belongs on dark paint
Every feature is here because black paint demands it.
-
Mirror-Like Gloss
The mineral wax and resin blend intensifies colour depth for a wet, reflective finish on black and dark paint.
-
UV and Contaminant Defence
Creates a durable protective barrier against UV rays, road grime and environmental fallout for up to 4 months.
-
Effortless Application
Spreads evenly with the included sponge and buffs off cleanly, leaving no white residue, haze or streaks.
-
Long-Lasting Bond
Synthetic resins anchor the wax layer for 3-4 months of protection through regular washing and daily driving.
How It Compares
King of Gloss vs a generic all-paint wax
A general-purpose wax does the basics on any colour. The King of Gloss is a different proposition for owners of black and dark vehicles, where finish quality and colour depth are the whole point.

3-4 Months Durability
Protection that keeps up with your schedule
A single application holds for 3-4 months, defending black paint against UV fade, road grime and environmental contaminants without needing constant reapplication. When it's time to reapply, the smooth spread and easy buff-off make the process fast and frustration-free.

Questions
Frequently asked
Can I use this wax on silver, white or other light-coloured paint?
No. This formula is engineered specifically for black and dark-coloured vehicles. The mineral wax and resin blend is tuned to intensify dark pigments. Using it on light paint can produce an undesirable tint or uneven finish. Reach for a universal or light-paint-specific wax instead.
How long does the protection last?
Under normal conditions you can expect 3-4 months of protection per application. Frequency of washing, exposure to harsh elements and how aggressively the surface is wiped down will all affect durability. Reapply as soon as you notice water starting to sheet rather than bead.
What is the correct flash and cure time?
Allow 5-15 minutes after application before buffing. In warm conditions the wax cures faster, so work one panel at a time to avoid it hardening before you can buff. In colder temperatures the flash time will increase, so give it a little longer before checking if it's ready to come off.
What surface prep does the paint need before application?
The surface must be clean, thoroughly washed and completely dry before you apply this wax. Any contamination, water or residue trapped under the wax will compromise bonding and the final finish. If the paint has fallout or iron contamination, run a decon step first. For paint with swirl marks or light scratches, a light polish and compound step before waxing will deliver the best result.
Does this wax work on PPF or vinyl wraps?
The source documentation specifies use on painted surfaces. If your PPF or wrap manufacturer approves conventional wax products, it may be suitable, but always check their guidance first. On gloss PPF in particular, a dedicated PPF sealant or coating is usually the better long-term choice.
Can I apply this by machine, or is it hand application only?
The product includes a hand applicator sponge and the directions describe hand application. It can be spread evenly by hand across one panel at a time. If you prefer machine application, use a soft finishing pad at low speed - the key is keeping an even, thin layer and not generating heat that accelerates curing before you're ready to buff.
Can I layer this wax, or apply it over a ceramic coating or paint sealant?
You can apply a second coat once the first has cured and been buffed off, which can add depth and extend protection. As a topper over a cured ceramic coating or paint sealant, this wax can enhance gloss and add a sacrificial layer - just ensure the underlying coating is fully cured and decontaminated. Do not apply over a fresh, uncured ceramic coating.
What finish can I expect on black paint?
Done correctly on well-prepped black paint, the wax brings out a deep, wet-look gloss with strong reflections and clear colour depth. There should be no white residue, no haze and no streaking. The mineral wax component adds the warmth and depth characteristic of traditional carnauba-style finishes, while the synthetic resins contribute clarity and durability.
