  • What are some decent protecting cheap waxes you use on cars?

    Looking for something cheap and somewhat durable. I think I have some Zymol somewhere not sure, I gave up my old meguiars to an old roomate awhile back. Just looking for something to put on my g/fs car not too interested in shine, but more protection.

    Silver Car 100% outside, in sunny/rainy/polleny Orlando.

    I might just say screw it and Zaino it but I am greedy and saving my zaino for my car [img]smile.gif[/img]

    I found some polymer wax on ebay for $12. I got 2 bottles of it. It has the same color, smell and shine of the zaino brand Z2 carwax. Send me your address and I'll send a bottle to you for shipping cost only. It will probably be no more than $5.

      Meguair's carnauba wax can't be beat. Mothers California Gold Carnauba is also very good.

        meguiars gold class is only 10 bucks at walmart-thats what i use

        the regular old meguiars cleaner wax lasts a pretty long time also, and its half the price. thats probably the best value out there for the chep waxes.

        ive taken care of my mom's minivan with that since the day she bought it, and its still in perfect condition

            turtle wax came out with a new one that i have used on a couple of other cars (not mine) and it seems to work awesome. I have my own auto detailing business and this wax has been the easiest to apply and remove and it leaves the car feeling the smoothest out of anything else that i have used. Its called like turtle wax ultra shine or something im not sure but its a liquid wax and it comes in a green and silver bottle.

              They've been advertising the hell out of it on TV lately. Next time I wax my car I might pick up some just to try it out.

                Yep, green bottle; kicks rectum. Got it at Walmizzle also, the detailer and the wax....not too shabby.

                      Nu Finish is like $5 at walmart. That stuff lasts a good amount of time, and is a polish so it's super easy to apply. Also Meguiars new NXT also is supposed to work very well also, I picked that up for $15 to give it a shot.

                          Yeah I've been half tempted to get that stuff myself. The shine on those cars on TV look awesome.

                            I have yet to see anyone say anything negative about NXT. I have never tried it myself though.
