Poorboys Black Hole Paint Sealant

[the_stink]

Been reading up on this product and sounds like the stuff i need,

Has anybody used it and what results did you get? From what ive been readign it can help reduce the amount of noticable swirl marks in the paint which is somer thing ive been trying to do

cheers

the best way to get rid of swirl marks is get your car machined if you can,black hole sealant will only mask them/fill them in, machine/polish/seal/wax= mint car happy owner

im not saying this black hole stuff is crap but as with all sealants they will fill the swirl in so the sun has no edges to reflect off of. swirl removel is best in my opinion

Right, I used this at the weekend.

I treated the missus' motor to a full days wash and polish, and as part of that tested the following products, all done by hand...


Poorboys SSR2. Definitely needed a machine polisher to use this effectively. By hand it took AGES to breakdown the polish. Perhaps if you spent a long time you would get better results, and by long, I mean LONG. Popeye arm time.

Poorboys Black Hole. Lovely polish, easy to use, gave great depth to the paint. Its more of a glaze than a polish to me, as it didn't really remove many defects, but gave the paint so much depth it masks them. Thats kind of what it says on the tin though so overall thumbs up.

Autoglym Super Resin Polish. The old favourite. I'm afraid to say this was just as good, if not better than the Black Hole, as it glossed the paint just as much and I think removed more defects. I also tried Black Hole on top of the SRP and I could not see any noticeable improvement either.


Conclusion... The SRP is much cheaper than the Black Hole, and without a machine, I could not improve upon the finish left by the cheaper Autoglym product. This has been proven more scientifically on detailingworld.co.uk  too.


A layer of collinite on top of the SRP gave an awesome finish too.

i would have used the super resin before the poorboys black hole, the super res would have taken the poor boys off i would have thought, if you use super res too much you can go through the paint in the end (did this on one of my old cars  )

You've not read my post properly - I did use it after SRP 

Like I said, I couldn't see enough improvement to warrant topping SRP with BH, either product on its own was good enough for a "hand job" polish finish. I asked a mate to see if he could tell which side of the bonnet had had both SRP and BH applied and he couldn't tell either.


PS... Surely you would have to use SRP A HELL OF A LOT to even begin to eat into the paint!?!?

and you would have to be using a machine and alot of pressure to go through paint with srp

It is far better in the long run to machine out swirls / paint defects, then seal and wax. In the long run it will last a dam site longer than filling with srp or black hole.
