The formula is designed to emphasize the depth and darkness of black and other dark-coloured paintwork, creating strong reflections and a smooth, glossy finish.
Whether you're preparing your vehicle for a show, maintaining a freshly detailed finish, or simply looking to enhance your daily driver's appearance, Extreme Gloss Wax Black provides an effective combination of gloss and protection.

How to Apply SOFT99 Extreme Gloss Wax Black
1. Wash the Vehicle Thoroughly
Wash the vehicle using a suitable car shampoo to remove loose dirt, dust, and road grime. Rinse the paintwork thoroughly.
2. Prepare the Paintwork
Dry the vehicle completely using a clean microfiber drying towel.
For the best results, consider using a clay bar if the paintwork has bonded surface contamination. A clean, smooth surface helps the wax spread evenly.
3. Prepare the Applicator
Use the included sponge applicator. Take a moderate amount of wax onto the sponge without overloading it.
4. Apply a Thin, Even Layer
Spread the wax evenly across the paintwork using light, consistent movements.
Work on one panel at a time, such as the hood, roof, or individual doors. Avoid applying excessive product.
5. Allow the Wax to Dry
Allow the wax to dry for approximately 5–15 minutes before buffing.
Drying time may vary depending on temperature and humidity. In warmer conditions, work panel by panel to prevent the wax from over-curing. Colder conditions may require additional drying time.
6. Buff with a Clean Microfiber Towel
Once the wax has dried, gently buff away the residue using a clean, soft microfiber towel.
Turn the towel frequently to expose a clean section and ensure all remaining wax residue is removed.
7. Inspect the Finish
Inspect the paintwork under good lighting. If you notice any remaining haze or uneven residue, gently buff the affected area again with a clean microfiber towel.
Recommended Aftercare & Maintenance
To maintain the glossy appearance and protective performance of SOFT99 Extreme Gloss Wax Black:
-
Wash regularly using a suitable pH-neutral car shampoo.
-
Avoid unnecessarily aggressive cleaning chemicals.
-
Use clean microfiber wash mitts and drying towels.
-
Rinse the vehicle thoroughly after washing.
-
