what type of wax now?

[Night Wolf]

Ive used many wax types, & all have been good so far, but Im thinking about finding a specific type & sticking with it from now on. so what car wax do you guys recommend?


its gotta be a paste though. & this will be for the mint wagon paint & the coupes old ass paint.

i have got to be honest with you, i have always favored the " 3M Performance Finish " . its in a black bottle ... if you have not tried it ,check into it .

I saw that one, but I wasnt sure about it. seems new

its not paste but i use the fw1 cleaning wax with carnauba really hits the spot for me

[cb7rush]

the work you put into the car wash before the wax is the important part i believe

I wash with meguiars soap, dry, clay bar every 2 months, and then wax. once in a while I used to use a rubbing compound to get all the fine lines off, but it got really tedious so now I dont and have a shitload of little fine scratches..

the wax isnt all the same, but for me i use meguiars and that shit works miracles..i used to use turtle wax paste, but didnt really like it..

I use mothers 3 step on all of my cars. Step 1 is a pre wax cleaner, step 2 is a sealer/glaze, and step 3 is a PURE Carnauba paste wax. It works awesome, and lasts a long time. The shine is amazing.

I vouch for auto glym hd wax

But my personal detail combo is, collinite 845 then AGhd

x2 Started using this at least 10 years ago and have never looked back. IMO the pure carnauba wax is they shyte. May take a bit more work but in the end it's worth it.

Honestly speaking if you get a good brand name carnauba paste wax you'll be fine IF you do proper polishing, buffing if needed then wax.
Always wax after a nice wash and chamois dry, you don't want to wax with dust on your paint.

Personally I try out whatever is the new shit or if something is on sale I'll grab it, but I not going to by some random flea market wax must be a good name.

I use the meguires paint restoration kit works great just suck my driver side is so fades i have to repeat it almost every time i wash! But i use the gold class canuba wax an i swear its the best stuff out there!

awesome. thanks for the reviews. I guess Ill go with a brand name multi-stage wax product. Ill let you guys know soon what I get.

but as for clay bar, I dont like using it more than once a year on the wagon. cuz it is very abrasive compared to wax after all, but on the coupes faded paint, I dont care how many times lol. the paint on it has no clear coat, so its a sponge for dirt

Personally I use S100 for the spring-fall and then Collinate 845 for the winter.

i second this, it takes a while but damn it looks good when its done. i break up the wax into chunks so i can rub it on my 6" orbital buffer and it works really well.
