What is a good carnauba wax that works well on dark colored cars?

When you wax a dark car with a paste Carnauba wax, you need one that dries dark, so that no white wax residue remains on the car (if you miss a spot). If you are really good at buffing the finish, and get all the wax out of the creases, then any wax will do.

But since you asked about dark colored cars:

The good news is that any paste wax will work well on your car; just remember to remove it completely and there should be no white residue.

Here are my two favorites, even if they leave some residue on my 2004 Nissan Quest minivan:

Here are some tips

Clean your car really well. Pure carnauba is not like a “Cleaner Wax” , which has cleaning agents blended into the wax. Personally, I prefer cleaning the car well and using a pure Carnauba.

My preference is to apply the wax by hand on a dry, clean, car, in the shade (if possible). Let the wax dry, and use an orbital buffer/polisher to remove the wax, or agood microfiber cloth.

About 20 minutes after you buff out the wax, check the finish again to ensure you got all the wax out!

Meguiars also markets their Ultimate liquid wax, which goes on with less effort than traditional (rubbed in) paste wax.  This works well when you want to wax quickly, and comes off really nice when you use an orbital buffer/polisher to remove it.
