Has anyone used the turtle wax black box on a bmw. I have seen alot of reviews on youtube and the results i have seen where exceptional. What is the real deal with this stuff. Is it to good to be true?

I was in the process of posting this same question yesterday and got caught up in other stuff... I saw it at Walmart and almost picked it up.

Anyone use it? The reviews on Amazon look really good...

I've used it on my sapphire black 5 and I'd say it was ok, good value for the money but nothin special. I too had read reviews and watched the YouTube clips and was expecting it to do better particularly with hiding minor imperfections. Kit is quite cheap, easy to use and enough to do a car twice. Give it a try n see if you get better results than me. I've few pics I took after usin it which I'll try post tomorrow when on the computer.

It is a pain to take off. Not really long lasting. Then again none of the other stuff lasts that long either. Did I mention it is a lot of work?

I bought the black box over the summer for my bmw its an 04 so its kinda old. After hours of washing and waxing it my uncle came over and thought i got it resprayed. My bmw was a jet black 530i. To me all the time i spent using it, to me it was worth using it. i love the product
