Turtle Wax Black Chrome
A long time favorite is no more!

Turtle Wax Black Chrome still ranks high on search lists, thanks to its loyal fan base of car owners and detailing enthusiasts who remember it as a go-to solution for enhancing and restoring black trim. As one of the most recognized names in car care, Turtle Wax continues to hold a special place in the hearts of many looking for trusted products—especially those hoping to find the latest innovations in automotive waxes.

However, despite the name, Black Chrome has nothing to do with chrome and doesn’t actually restore black trim. And to make things more frustrating, it’s no longer available in the United States. If you're still searching for it online, you're likely spinning your wheels chasing a product that simply can’t be found.

The good news? Not only are there alternatives—but options that outperform the original, thanks to modern advancements in chemical technology. Today’s black trim restorers are more effective, longer-lasting, and easier to use, offering you smarter solutions without the wild goose chase.

Welcome to modern chemical engineering

There isn't an area of life that has not been improved through advances in both chemical engineering and manufacturing. Cosmetic car care is no exception.

But old habits die a long painful death -we are naturally resistant to change at any level. But if you ever want to experience the benefits of advanced chemical engineering, you will be required to release the old habits of brand recognition, to the world of professional level auto detailing products.

Professional products, for professional results!

As a professional auto detailer I can tell you I have never come across any other professional detailer using Turtle Wax products within their business.

As consumers, we are often left choosing among inferior products that have been "watered down" or even "dumbed down" in the name of corporate profits, or the proverbial "cover our ass" mentality that is engineered in to virtually every other retail product meant to feed the masses. 

Many people think that professional grade detail products are only for the professionals to be had. The good news is that as a car owner or enthusiast, you can enjoy true professional grade products. When it comes to enhancing and restoring all your exterior black trim pieces on your car, alternatives do exist that promise to deliver superior results to your retail products that you are likely to be currently using.

As can be seen in these dramatic pictures, these professional grade black trim restoration products represent the latest in technology with chemical engineering in restoring and enhancing black vinyl trim pieces on your car or truck.

Black Trim and You

• Mass produced black/gray plastic trim pieces are inferior in nature as compared to high-tech plastics and polymer based products that can be found in other markets such as firearms, aeronautical, marine, etc.
• The mass produced black trim pieces on cars are formulated with added impurities and additives to make them "cheaper" to mass produce.
• These additives and impurities will forever oxidize or bleed out. Because of this, you will always be fighting against the inferior trim pieces that are always in a state of decadence.
• The Solution Finish above is as permanent as you are going to get, unless you were to actually paint the black trim pieces on your car/truck.
• Also remember that not all trim is created equal. The trim piece itself will largely impact the final results you are able to achieve. (not really a huge concern; but something to be aware of)
  
• Of course we can't forget that as far as I can tell; Turtle Wax black chrome doesn't even exist any longer!

The age old adage of "Old habits die hard" applies to car care products just as much as any other area of life.

But just like every other area of life, technology has also made car care much easier. Now you can not only get better end results, but doing so is also easier than ever! So ditch the Turtle Wax black chrome, and go with professional!

Sincerely,

Darren Priest
