Question Wax

What was should I use???? I keep looking, and looking, but damn! There is so much out there. I want a real good quality, that leaves a nice shine, and protects the paint surface.

Meguiars NXT Gen Tech wax is the best, imo, shine lasts, easier than paste, and it smells good

I usually use EX-P with S100, but Natty's look just as nice. Here's my car with EX topped with S100.

When I don't hand wax, I use EagleOne Wax as you Dry. But, when I hand wax I use TurtleWax2000 or something.

I have tried a lot of different types and always seem to come back to the original turtle wax. Not that it's any better than other brands, just found for the money I didn't see any noticeable difference in wax between higher priced ones and turtle wax. Just my own 2cents!

If you want a high quality shine and gloss try out Autoglym

-Super Resin Polish
-Extra Gloss Protection

Wash your car > Dry it really good > Apply Super resin polish > Wait for 15 to 30 > Wipe or buff > Apply Extra gloss protection > Wipe or buff then you will see a Damn great gloss and shine. I have a black sedan and its FANTASTIC!!!

Good luck on your search.

KIT wax --plain but lasts forever like almost a year
turtle wax ultra gloss (makes car shinier even tho wax isn't supposed to)
nxt wax -haven't tried yet

if you want to make the paint look better, wax usually isn't for that. you want a good glaze
