Best wax for the money

I would stay completly away from cleaner wax as it contains sands and is used to clean the fall out and over spray away from paint and that is what the clay is doing anyways. Polish is a chemical cut that is safe and now is what body shops use.
 
Polishes and new compounds use a diminishing abrasives that are not sand and leave behind oils that will condition your paint where cleaner wax strips the paint of all of those oils that are left from before. Cleaner waz is harsh and can be harmful to paint and I believe they belong in the trash and if you want to see the true condition of your paint use a wax a grease remover the kind for body shops and it will show all the swirls and scratches that you are hinding with wax instead of fixing with polish then protecting with wax!!!
 
Btw rain x is good stuff along with stoner glass cleaner. I would never use any turtle wax ice products in my eyes they are junk and I have tested them. Also I would not use any eagle one products wit the nanno technology because I have heard that it can go through ur skin but I do not know that as fact. All carpet cleaners u buy in cans are junk use steam to clean no residue to attract dirt.

And you guys thought AJ was a PITA! Maybe it's time to put the keyboard down and go read a book or something, since you're certainly not adding anything valuable here.

Sorry my very slightly humorous attempt to bring the thread back on topic made me a PITA. Your sure your right, I'm not adding anything of value here. Or on the 100th favorite wax thread. So aye, aye. Keyboard is down. Have a nice day.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I thought I paid attention to detail when I washed and waxed my MM. The job that guy on the youtube link does is incredible. Must be nice to be able to pay someone $10,000 to wash and wax your car.
 
Ive tried alot of stuff on my show cars throughout the years....so far the stuff i like the best and have been hooked on for a couple of years now is Viper Speed Wax made by Ardex. Goes on and off super easy...not a quick detailer mind you (use mcguires FI34 at shows)...gotta put it on and take it off like wax but by the time you apply it to your panel its ready to come off so it goes real fast.Thin like milk so i put it in a spray bottle and squirt it on my applicator. thats my 2 cents
 
I like the Mothers and have used it for years

But I have to admit if I don't watch how I apply it and it gets into a spot I can not clean it out of it will leave a white residu running down the side of the car when it rains.

Needless to say it is worth picking up some low stick painters tape and cover an area where you do not want the stuff to get into first.

Just that reason alone is making me think of trying out the Turtle Wax Black box stuff for ha ha's and see the difference.

Plus any imperfections in the paint like minor cracking is highlighted with a light color polish so maybe the Black would be a good change.

BTW in those pics you can see under the spoiler on the passenger side is where the FU was carved into the trunk I tryed to hide with touch up paint that had to be fixed.

Even if its not Black us it, you may get lucky and it will turn black....:P
 
Black box is a POS that lasts one month. Less if you actually drive it. The local body shops around here have actually recommended the age old orange bottle Nufinish polish. I took their advice and all I can say is WOW. All wax's look good, some are more user friendly, I finally found one the lasts now. So far after a month, NO CHANGE in appearance, Car rinses back to a glimering shine, unlike all the "specialty" waxs. And when dusting her down, the scuffs do not refill with the dust like all other wax's.
 
Thats your opinion, I have had mine on almost a month, all I do is use my duster and its back to shining again, if bird :censor: gets on the car I use Turtle Wax Ice Spray Detailer to wipe it off didnt mess up for me, It also depends on the weather ur car is exposed too.

I use Zaino's over a base coat of Klasse All in One,
After multiple trips around the car with Menzerna Intensive polish and Menzerna Final Polish.
After you buy the Zaino Products you will see how cheap it is because it goes incredibly far. Waaay farther than paste wax and it leaves no white residue, I use it on my plastic, wiper arms, etc.
It got me the "Best Paint" trophy at SSHS9.
Besides their "Leather in a Bottle" is as good as it gets.

Check autopia.org for more info.
 
Black box

I tried Black Box for the first time this past weekend. I give it a 2 :up: Great stuff!! WORD OF WARNING!!! Use gloves when applying this product. The color of the wax(black) will stain your hands.(ask me how I know!)
