Lime Prime and Black hole are the same thing! Both glazes that offer a small amount of cut and use fillers. Unless u mean lime prime light which is more a pre wax  cleanser.

Mate you need to go and read up on what's what.

Lime Prime is a polish a bit like super resin it contains cutters and fillers. Can be used by hand or machine.

Black Hole is a glaze designed to hide minor imperfections by filling them it has no cut and adds depth to the shine.

Lime prime lite Contains no abrasives this is why differs from Lime Prime and is designed for soft paint or pre-polished surfaces. Handy if your car has been sprayed

Dodo call them a "pre wax cleaner" as thats what a polish is, cleans before you wax.

You have to admit though, it can get very confusing when you compare "Lime prime" to "Lime Prime", suggesting they're different!   :lipsrsealed:

Bloke on the dodo stand was tellin me that lime prime and black hole are pretty much the same, but black hole is slightly better on dark cars... But I still got the lime prime (don't ask) and also got the super natural hybrid wax.... Not used any of it yet waiting till weather gets a bit better!!!!

It is a lightly abbrasive polish with a lot of fillers and it also contains a light sealant like Lime prime, black hole has no cut.

Mate, you need to read the post properly before getting on your high horse!

I said Lime prime Lite was more like a pre wax cleanser, exactly because it has no cut!  :rolleyes:

The definition of a Polish, Pre wax cleanser, and glaze are all different, yet all manufacturers call them whatever they like as most offer a bit of everything.

All glazes/cleansers offer something slightly different from the other. Be it more cut, more filling, or more glazing. One will be better than the next for something. Some will also be better for different coloured cars, and different finish. (Flat/mettalic/Pearl etc). Its about finding whats best for your particular car.

Now go have a cold shower.
