kit was $20 and i spent about 5 hours on the entire car including a wash (damn those big body cars lol)

but i did notice a huge difference in color depth and color itself

p.s. if anyone gets this.. make sure you wear gloves, bc your fingers and nails will stay black for days

Correct. It uses a tint in the pre-cleaner, spray wax, and detailer. You can use a regular wax with it, too. I've not used it, but I know a couple of people who tried it and thought it did a good job. Not owning a black car, I've not purchased it, but it seems to have decent results. Not sure on the longevity of it or if it's more of a glaze than a wax since it's a spray, but it's an interesting concept.

I understand that it is a wax. Each component is tinted. Meant to say it is a liquid wax, not a spray.
