Expert Notes

Angelwax Dark Angel is a hand-poured paste wax developed specifically for black and dark-coloured paint. Its blend of natural waxes and conditioning oils is designed to enrich dark tones, add wet-look depth and help reduce the appearance of light swirls and wash marks, while giving water beading and sheeting. It is the final step after washing, decontamination and any polishing, and suits owners of black and dark cars who want maximum depth from their paint. Apply thin coats with a foam or microfibre applicator, let it haze and buff with a clean microfibre towel. Prepare with a pre-wax cleanser or finishing polish, and maintain it with a gentle shampoo and plush drying towels. It carries Angelwax's signature chocolate fragrance and is made in Scotland.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Black paintwork
  • Dark-coloured paintwork

  • Car bodywork
  • Van bodywork

Caution: Keep wax off textured black plastic trim and rubber seals, where dried residue can leave white marks, and apply only to cool, clean paint.

How To Use

Application

  1. Wash and dry the vehicle thoroughly, decontaminating the paint if it feels rough.
  2. Work on cool, clean paintwork out of direct sunlight.
  3. Apply a thin layer with a foam or microfibre applicator, one panel at a time.
  4. Allow the wax to haze.
  5. Buff away with a clean microfibre towel to reveal the gloss.
  6. Turn the towel to a clean side for a final light buff.

Aftercare

  1. Maintain the finish with a gentle car shampoo and the two-bucket method.
  2. Dry with a soft microfibre drying towel to avoid wash marks on dark paint.
  3. Avoid strong degreasers and traffic film removers on waxed panels, as they shorten wax life.
  4. Reapply when water no longer beads and sheets as it did after waxing.
  5. Store the pot closed in a cool, well ventilated place.
  6. Wash applicators and towels after use and keep them apart from wheel cloths.

Top Tip: Thin coats buff off more easily and look better than a heavy layer, especially on black paint.

Performance Benefits

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Dark Angel designed for?

Angelwax Dark Angel is a handcrafted detailing wax developed specifically for black and dark-coloured vehicles. It enhances depth, enriches dark paint tones and gives a deep wet-look gloss.

Will Dark Angel hide swirl marks?

Angelwax states it helps reduce the appearance of light swirls, fine scratches and wash marks. It masks rather than removes them, so deeper defects need machine polishing first.

What does Dark Angel smell like?

Dark Angel carries Angelwax's signature chocolate fragrance.

What size is Dark Angel?

Angelwax currently lists Dark Angel as a 200ml solid paste wax.

How do I apply it?

Apply a thin layer with a foam or microfibre applicator, allow it to haze, then buff with a clean microfibre towel. Angelwax recommends applying it to cool, clean paintwork.

Can I use it on a light-coloured car?

Dark Angel is developed specifically for black and dark-coloured paint. For lighter colours, a general-purpose wax made for all paint colours is the more usual choice.

What should I use before Dark Angel?

Wash, decontaminate and dry the paint first. A pre-wax cleanser or finishing polish beforehand leaves a clean surface and removes defects that wax can only mask.

Is Dark Angel handmade?

Yes, Dark Angel is handcrafted and hand-poured in small batches by Angelwax, which makes its products in Scotland.

Angelwax waxes, polishes and protection

Waxes. Formulation #1 is a hand-poured carnauba wax of natural waxes and oils that needs only a thin coat, rated by Angelwax at up to six months. Dark Angel is made for black and dark paint: it enriches dark tones, helps hide light swirls and wash marks, and carries a chocolate scent. The Fifth Element is a high endurance show wax of four natural waxes and passion fruit oil, and Luminosity Matte Wax protects matte, satin and wrapped finishes without adding gloss, kept clean between washes with Luminosity QED.

Polishing. Resurrection is the heavy cut compound, rated to remove sanding marks up to 1,500 grade, Regenerate is the medium cut swirl remover, and Redemption is the ultra fine finishing polish that takes out holograms and P3000 sanding marks. By hand, Perfect Polish is a pre-wax cleanser with ultra fine abrasives, and Stripped-Ease removes old wax, sealant and polishing oils before fresh protection.

Glass and quick protection. H2GO is a glass rain repellent that Angelwax says makes rain bead off from as low as 20mph, applied after cleaning with Vision, a fast flashing glass cleaner that is safe on tinted windows. QED is the quick detailer for gloss between washes, and Alchemy is a metal polish for exhaust tips, chrome, aluminium and stainless steel.

Angelwax wash, wheels and interior care

Wash and decontamination. Cleanliness is a water based, solvent free citrus pre-wash made in Angelwax's UK laboratory, safe on waxes, sealants and ceramic coatings. FastFoam is a thick snow foam for the lance, and Superior Automotive Shampoo is a concentrated, pH neutral shampoo that leaves protection in place. Blue Rinse is a wax infused rinse aid for the clean, wet car, diluted up to 5:1, that makes water sheet off for faster drying. Revenge softens insect remains, Nemesis dissolves tar, glue and sap, and the Cleanse clay bar lifts bonded fallout, used with Uber-Lube.

Wheels. Bilberry is a non-acidic wheel cleaner, ready to use or as a concentrate, safe on painted, lacquered and powder coated wheels. Bilberry Wheel Wax then adds a barrier that slows brake dust build-up, and the same fruity scent comes as the Bilberry air freshener.

Interior and soft tops. AnGel is a water based, silicone free dressing with UV protection that leaves interior plastics matte and non greasy. Absolution cleans seats, carpets and mats, and Heaven for Leather is a pH neutral leather cleaner that keeps the factory matte finish. For convertibles, Excelsior cleans canvas, mohair, cloth and vinyl roofs, and Shield leaves an invisible barrier that repels water and stains on roofs and fabrics. Clarity is a super concentrated screenwash that can be used neat as a de-icer.

Kit. The Brush-Up set of five bristle brushes reaches badges, vents and wheel nuts, and the padded Detailing Bag has a rigid base for carrying waxes and bottles.
