I had a friend who tried it with his dark charcoal grey Mercedes. It looked
good from 50/50. That is fifty feet or fifty mph. In all seriousness it
didn't turn out that badly because he didn't over use it. Less is better in
this case. It worked great in covering up little nicks and dings on a dark
colored car. The big thing is to make sure you match the color paint
carefully. If you have any doubts about the color of wax don't use it.You
really could make a bad situation worse with this stuff. I currently use
Meguiar's cleaner wax and then their regular yellow wax and have had big
success with it in terms of keeping the color and finish of my car. If you
do try it let us know how it turned out.
