What's The Best (a.k.a. your favourite) Wax?

[kneedragger241]

As the title asks, what, in your opinion or professional experience, is the best wax?

[abovie3]

Collinite's no. 845 and collinite no.476S. Gives it great shine that lasts 6+ months. idk if its the best, but they're my favorites.

Megs Gold class for awhile..until i tried out Pinnacle Signature Series II. Makes Megs looked not so deep. And i want to try out this stuff called Cherry Wet wax : http://www.detailingsupplies.net/Auto_Detailing_Supplies_Cherry_Wet_Wax_p/wac_105.htm

i used a type of turtle wax that was a kit and is only for black cars. i think it's simply called "turtle wax black box." i think it worked pretty well, filled a cluster of scratches i had under one of the rear door handles (almost like my wife's engagement ring had something to do with it), but at the same time it didn't decrease the "mica" sparkle of the paint like i was worried it would do

the problem with it is it takes a long time (minus the actual washing, the kit has like 10 steps), there is only enough stuff for like 2 waxes, and the applicator/buffer rags the kit comes with are not enough to do the job so you need to get more. other than that i was very happy with how it turned out. next time i might just get an electric orbital buffer to assist

Well I recently put a coat of NXT on it and it beads water crazy good. Makes the car nice and glossy and deep. I really like it but would like to know what out there is better since I'm in the market for wax.

[mr_mazda329]

I like how NXT goes on. Very easy, but the durability of it isnt that good. Plus as a synthetic, its not good for dusty climates. Dust just flat sticks too much to it.

Cool site Mr. Mazda.
Do let me know if you try the Cherry Wet. I'd be interested in buying a gallon too.

P21S 100% carnuba wax. Easy on, and easy off. It's a new product, And I love it. But it's really expensive. Upwards of $50 for a small container.

I like Turtle Wax Ice. It goes on & comes off easy and offers long lasting protection. It can also be used on plastic & rubber without leaving a white waxy smear. It guards against UV rays too.

(iagree)

I think I'm gonna order Meguairs #21 sealant for my next sealant/wax. I really like the protection synthetic sealant offers.

[nighthawk358]

meguiars professional hi-tech yellow wax 26 is my pick

[hominemodi]

i'm glad to see ICE is winning so far. that stuff is truly amazing! everybody has their preference, but the carnauba waxes are imho are sooo last century. the ICE goes on in the sun, goes on plastics, rubbers, etc., and protects for a long time, too.

but its not very durable and collects dust super quick. It would be gone after one Georgia rainstorm. It does protect from UV rays which is nice. I love how it was easy to use, but the depth and durability isn't up to snuff with some quality show waxes.


And I just did my 2nd coat on the miata with Pinnacle Signature Series. Layered on in one direction. OMG this shit is nice.

Whats great about SigII is that its a true wipe on/off wax. Theres no drying time required. So your able to wax a car much quickly.

[jnr5005]

Gold Class, Griot's Best of Show, and Ice are my favortie true waxes. Ice you can apply in sun but not a hot surface. Have not tried NXT or Zymol yet thow. What is liquid glass?

[Sawce]

So not exactly car wax but this is my fave:

Thank you, Sawce. I was actually gonna add that as a choice.
Surprised nobody has voted for "candle" yet.

Liquid Glass is something I used to use with fantastic results. Not sure what it was made out of, but it made cars like a mirror and water that beaded up like crazy for a year. I even used it on windows before Rain-X caught on.
Can't find it at Pep Boys anymore.

Collinite's no. 845 and collinite no.476S. Gives it great shine that lasts 6+ months. idk if its the best, but they're my favorites.

I use collinite once a year, and use NXT 2.0 monthly. The collinite is great right before western NY winters. I felt comfortable trusting my finish to it!

I have used both Turtle Wax ICE and Zymol. I prefer Zymol due to the durability, it is more work to apply, I don't mind using my ICE as a quick waxing and plastic shine. The only problem with ICE very long at all.

I've heard good things about NXT, but I opted for Zymol this time around.
