Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

I am not sure how to spell this but I like Mequiras Gold (sp). I should go out to the garage to check the spelling but too lazy. :o

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?

I'm a BIG fan of Menzerna products. I've also had great results with Poorboys and Zaino. I've found Meguiars NXT to be the best locally available "wax" as far as ease of use, minor swirl filling and depth of shine. It's not the most durable though.

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

:agree: Totally.

I have always heard lots of good stuff on Zaino as well.

I have been using the California Customs MRon. You can use it right out in the sun and its a wipe on wipe off with the same towel. Stuff is pretty amazing. I will be show ing everyone at the meet in July just how well this stuff I use works.

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

Have you looked at the "Wizards" product line. They have a pint sealant that works extremely well in all kinds of weather. The winter snow and road crud seems to wash off easily and the summer collecdtion of bugs and bird stuff is easily removed.

I use their Sealant called "SHINEMASTER" and their detail spray that is called "MIST-N-SHINE". Go to their website and check them out. www.wizardsproducts.com

If you have to go to a body shop when the accident does happen, the sealant is easily removed and the new paint work is not ruined.

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

I use the shinemaster also and love it. The first coat takes a little longer to put on but after that I can do my whole suburban in about 45 min. and it is black. Dave

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

I agree on the finish first your finish has to be clean it wil shine and feel like silk when done. The only other i use is by The Wax Shops Super Glaze and Super Glaze Plus. plus for cleaning . ICE is crap i had to try it:censored:

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

I used to show Corvetes for about 10 years and the really, really best wax I ever used was Nu Finish. Yep, you can buy it at Wal Mart. Its liquid so it goes on easy. I use a buffer to apply and remove the polish. You can put it on and come back 4 hours later and it still buffs off easily. It beads a lot longer than Meguiers by my own tests. (not scientific I admit, but real world) Man, its all I use and I have won best paint of show and always first, second or third in my class and people can't believe it when I tell them what wax I use. Now I have to say "don't believe what any wax or polish dealer tells you, it won't last that long" I always try to polish every two months or so. You can travel to the mountain tops in Tibet and buy polish from the Dali Lamma and I really don't think its any better.:lol:

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

I agree, that the paint HAS to be clean, either with a clay bar or a buffing with a buffing compound. I can do a whole truck in 45 minutes, that is on and off with a little work on the small crevices. I found that the orbital polisher makes the work go faster.

I used to use the Nu-Finish and found that what I now use better. I found the Shinemaster a surprise.

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

I have used a product called Adams. they have waxes polishing compounds clay bars, litteraly everything you could ever need. I personally know a distributor of the product. i have been around cars my entire life and this is by far the best product i have ever used. everyone i know uses it they all LOVE it. its worth a try. it goes on smooth and comes off even smoother. You can get the wax from most snap-on tools dealers. or on-line @ http://www.adamspolishes.com/. but if you look up your local snap on guy i will bet he has some or knows how to get u some. the butter wax as its called is only about $20 for one bottle

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

I have been a supporter of the Mothers line of products for years. Their mag polish can't be beat. For tires, I am currently using the Armor All Gel.

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

OK, I couldn't remember what it was called, so I went home lat night & checked it out. Then I came in this morning & searched the web. FOUND IT!
Hands down, the BEST wax I have ever used. Stuff lasts a LONG time!
Collinite - Liquid Insulator Wax (No. 845)
This heavy duty liquid wax was originally developed for use by electric power companies for protection against high voltage power failures. It's primary use is on the finishes of automobiles, trucks, buses and airplanes where durability, high gloss and lasting protection are paramount. An excellent choice for fleet applications and very easy to use--requires minimum rubbing or buffing. Clear coat safe.

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

I totally agree with wreckless 68 Adam's wax and polishes are by far the best products I've ever used. Not only does it make your truck look good, it makes it smell even better. I could use the detail spray for colougn! ummm....yeah check out adams.:cool:

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

Zaino

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

I have been saving my ear wax for years in little jar, I got a theory that would be a killer wax. I will keep you guys posted when I have enough to do the whole truck. :gi:

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

Makes a real good furniture wax also.

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

What about good ol TURTLE WAX!!!!!

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

Wow, no other Zymol users? I've tried many products, and as far as wax goes, I really like the Zymol stuff. I personally prefer the natural products, it lets the paint breathe more, plus it smells like hot chicks at the beach! A quick wax, and then go over it again with some water in a spray bottle, lightly spritzing and rubbing it in, and the car is amazing. I've heard awesome stuff about the Collonite too, they are selling it at Advance now, and have used many other products with great success, but personally love the Zymol.

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

zymol here , yeah its my favorite all though i usually have to do a follow up wipe down after final buff to get that wet deep shine

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

Just bought first finish and best I have ever used thanks for input.

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

Bee's by fare: Don't get stung by other brands!

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

I use Zaino. Although you have several steps, you only have to use it one to two times a year, beads up everytime, shines and looks great.

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

Hello, I have a few questions. First I have an 02 Black Silverado. I am interested in the Zaino product but don't know what to buy or what I would need to start off with or for that matter how to apply it. any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Ralph

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

In all seriousness------elbow grease and time

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

I personally never did try the Zano line---And I do believe that it is a good product. However, I have started using Wizards products and their paint sealant and detail spray is really something that you have to witness. I use it on all of my vehicles and I have a black truck, black Impala SS, and a white truck. I buy my stuff by the case from the distributor and save about 30% on the over the counter cost. www.wizardsproducts.com

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

Same here. After 2 weeks, the slick feel was gone and the color depth was just not there.

Is there a system that works particular well for dark single stage paints ? I have a burgundy truck with cheap single stage paint, and the Texas sun is really bad on it seeing as it's never garaged. Oxidation happens very quickly. I need something that lasts awhile and will protect well against UV rays and oxidation.

Also, whats the best rubbing and polishing compound I can buy to remove the oxidation and bring back the shine before waxing ? I have used Turtle Wax liquid rubbing compound with Meguiars polish and had good results but I think I can do a lot better.

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

Once again, I think if y ou got your hands on the Wizards, you would be surprised. The pics up above are on a truck that is black and clear coated, but the shine stays. I use this stuff on all o f my daioly driven vehicles. The white truck that I have has a pearl mix in the clear coat and the shine stays through the Kansas winters.

I use 3M FINNESSE IT rubbing compund on most of my stuff and then follow it up with a coat of Wizards "Shinemaster" or if nothing else a 3M glazing compound.

3M has advanced to different rubbing compounds, but unless you are quick on the draw, the FINNESSE IT is the best choice. This stuff works on plastic pieces for getting scratches out. Once again refer to the black truck above for the shine.

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

I use zaino. Like stated above, the first time you apply it, it's a time consuming process (claybar, basecoat, topcoat) but it lasts A LONG time and looks awesome

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

In my world "best" equals longest lasting because who wants to wax 4-5 times/year? Longer lasting waxes are not wax, but synthetic polymer sealants. Keep in mind that pure carnuba wax is really only good for 6-8 weeks. I like Poorboy's pure EXP sealant and Klasse All-in-One. They both last awhile and shine great (over a properly prepared surface of course).

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

I use NXT also it always works well! easy on and off super smooth outcome

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

Zaino. Been using it since 1999. Best stuff, hands down, I've ever used. Easy on, easy off, and the shine is incredible...especially on darker colors.

Finishing up the final wet sanding on my cab this week (Black), then will buff it out. Before we even mount the cab, it will have two coats of Zaino.

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

My boss has this Dri-wash stuff or something like that. What's up with that stuff if anyone's heard of it?

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

New to me ex... anyone else?

Re: Whats The Best Wax Really?
 

after checking the website, it's been around since 91' and claims to be the original dry wash product. Washless car wash basically with stuff that is supposed to give a great shine. i always said the best wax is whatever you are using and multiple applications.
