Looking for Suggestions (car wax)

[Exp626]

Ok Peeps.. i have been looking around and seen SEVERAL different suggestions.. but i want an overall opinion on what is the best bang for the buck as far washing and waxing my car. i want somthing that is a deep wet look that will last a while.. not worried about spending a few extra $'s to make my car look good and have my paint last long..

zaino or liquid glass is all i use [img]smile.gif[/img]

I've been told a coat of Meguiar's works wonders..

although this "liquid glass" wax sounds like it deserves to be tried...

A bit expensive, but I use Meguiars Gold Class. It gives it a nice shine, even for a white car.

You can not beat Mothers .... quality or price. In my opinion of course [img]smile.gif[/img]

Im a loyal buyer of meguiars (gold class)

its a bit more than the other stuff, but its well worth it if you ask me.

[Exp626]

Well then! thats what i been using.. i have seen the Meguyers Paint restorer 3 step method.. anyone used it yet? looks good on the bottle but then again you cant judge a bottle by its picture [img]tongue.gif[/img]

there was yellow somthing or other posted on the board but i cant find it.. what is it and what does it do..

I prefer the Meguiar's products (I use them on my Corvette and my Camaro), but whatever you use, if you want a high quality end-result you can see and feel, make sure you clay the car first. I guarantee you will notice the difference.

I've been using something called Nu-Finish. It's a polish rather than wax, and it lasts for quite some time. It's in an orange bottle for $5 at walmart. I'm not the most experienced person with waxes and all, but my grandfather swears by it and he's used everything through his years of owning cars.

Hey how ironic I was about to mention Nu-Finish. It's great stuff I use it every year and it REALLY shines. They used to sell in on infomercials.

[blk_camaro_convt]

ZAINO all the way, but the only downside is price but like i say, you get what you pay for. and you cab go to camaroz28.com and they are alot of help.....thats how i got into it and everyone uses it over there

zaino... 'nuff said.

Ok there are a few choices, but after you wax your car and need to wash it two days later what do you use that will not strip the wax off??

also Mcjoslyn said :"make sure you clay the car first" What the Hell does that mean?????????

i have used meguiar's and it looks fine, but it really lacks the durability i want. i dont have time to wash and wax every weekend.

i do like nu finish. it will last for months so i can just wash/wax about once a month. its not as shiny/bright as other waxes.

also tried liquid glass at one point. it wasnt as glossy as nu-finish. it was fairly durable though.

recently i tried prestone's 'high performance' synthetic wax (rated in consumer reports as durable and high gloss). i think it goes on and comes off better than nu-finish (its a little thinner this seems to help during the wax/polish phase). i does seem more glossy but its difficult to tell on a pewter metallic car.

one day i might get around to trying zaino. mail order is such a hassle.

(and yes, you should probably use a clay bar before using one of the above polishes. they have no abrasives. you want your paint clean and smooth as possible).

if u want something that looks damn good and lasts a REALLY long time buy Zaino, its way worth the extra dollars, one application will last 6 months to a year, its awesome stuff..
