Hey guys,

Looking for your opinion on the best wax for our cars.

I've got to get some more, and would like some of your thoughts.

Many thanks,
Brian

I've heard great things about Klasse. It is hard to find in stores, though, but it has a two part formula.. one is a cleaner to take all the old shit and oxidization off your car, gives a great foundation for the wax portion, which looks great and lasts for a REALLY long time. My buddy swears by this stuff and the odds are good I will be getting klasse for my next wax.

I use Meguiar's, either Gold Class (makes my color look darker, gives a good shine) or NXT (makes the color more vibrant, gives an excellent shine), but neither of them last for shit. They don't bead anymore after only a month or so. My sig pic is of my car the day after I gave it a fresh NXT coat.

I don't really use wax anymore. My car's too banged up for me to care.

Can't really go wrong with turtle wax though.

The best wax, however, is Zaino, like 100 dollars or something for the whole kit and it gives it a mirror shine.

There is a brand called sonius or sonus that has high quality products. Carnuba wax is usually the best but evaporates in the sun with in a month.

Pretty sure Zaino is not a wax, but a sealant. Difference being; you can apply multiple layers of Zaino and get a deeper gloss, but wax will not work that way.

(I've always loved that picture of the Beemer in the reflection. Awesome stuff.)

Mothers 3 step system. I live by it. Plan on a good half day project though...

I'm a big fan of p21s carnauba wax.

search for s100 though, it's the same exact wax but cheaper.

Meguiar's

just grab a catalog and start ordering. they have a bunch of "systems" to use (gold, medallions, Professional) depending on price range, how much work you want to put into your paint, and your level of experence.

works well with power or by hand.

i trust it enough to use on my fathers Ferrari, i think its good enough for my 2g
