best car wax?

Answer 1

I recommend the Auto Gleam Range of Polishes and Waxes. Not cheap but look fantastic.

Answer 2

"Liquid waxes are good for cleaning, gloss and durability. But they can be more difficulty to apply evenly and buff out. Most dry to a haze within about a minute, but this varies with wind, sunlight, and thickness of application.

Paste waxes are good for ease of application. But their overal performance is not as good as with liquids, and it can be difficult to remove wax from the container as you near the bottom. Paste waxes usually dry to a haze within 30 seconds.

Spray waxes are good for new cars with excellent finishes. Also, for convenience, plastic compatibility, ease of use, and spot waxing. They're quick to apply and many can be wiped off without drying. But they are not good for cleaning and are the worst for durability.

The best waxes according to Consumer Reports were: Black Magic and Turtle Wax. They are both liquids.
Black Magic will need some extra buffing to prevent streaking.

For an easy shine and compatibility with plastics: Eagle One spray wax. It does not clean well or last long, but it's good for a quick shine.

If your vehicle is new or still has a newer finish: Turtle Wax spray wax would be great. It is easy to use, is economical, and won't degrade the existing shine, but you'll have to reapply it frequently to maintain the protection."

Answer 3

Nu-Finish is hard to beat in my book. I had an old 1982 Chevy pickup when I was in high school. When I first got it, it appeared to be beige in color... the truck was actually red! It was just that dirty and neglected. I could rub my finger on the side of the truck and my finger would turn red from the paint that came off. Nu-Finish made the truck red and shiny again (admittedly after a few applications) and kept it red and shiny until it was repainted again almost 10 years later. I won't use anything else. Consumer reports agrees.

Answer 4

I wish they had a search on this question - it has been asked at least a thousand times (IMO)

Any wax with high amounts of Carnauba - Carnauba is what makes it shine / protects it, and runs the water off.

The bodyshops I worked for always used Mothers or Maguires

Answer 5

Turtle wax. Good ol' stuff has been around for years.

Answer 6

For the best shine use Mothers, For longevity use Maguires those are the best 2 you can get without going to a detail shop
