Favorite Wax

[Chris]

I have used all the OTC shit, but right now I am using PB nattys blue. It's pretty good, I need to buy some migliore or the new adams stuff just for comparison though :headbang:

So what is everyones favorite and why?

[3blackchevys]

I've always used meguire's but timmy suggested I give PB and Migliore a shot, so I will

[Chris]

Yup, migliore will be my next purchase I think, still trying to decide between that and adams though. After using poorboys wax I would say try migliore first, I wasnt overly impressed with pb, its good, just not anything really outstanding. The rest of the PB line on the other hand is just plain badass :hail:

[PavementPounder]

i like mequires

[Yuk_Nali_6.0]

3M Performance Finish is good. I used it to get this shine...

Adams Machine Superwax

[bowtiefreak]

I always like zymol

[oakster]

I'm addicted to Mothers pure carnuba. I wish they made a spray that smelled like it.

[shsportsfan12]

I love Migliore (and no not because I sell it).... I've tried LOTS of waxes out there....Migliore still takes the cake for me

[Chris]

nytahoe, sick ass ride....how you like the pb? You get a lot of dust?

[shsportsfan12]

I've used all 3 of the Natty's. They provide a very nice finish and the paste does not really dust like their polishes do (that changed with their new formula). One thing some people have noticed is that it has the ability to attract dust. The way people get around that is to use a quick detailer spray on the applicator pad before applying the wax. This isn't an issue for everyone. Another thing is that Natty's doesn't last very long. I would say 3 months at most. It's very easy to apply and remove, so doing it often really isn't an issue. Overall a great product though

[Yuk_Nali_6.0]

looks great liquid or paste???

liquid

[Nappers]

I like Meguiar's

M16 / M26 / M21 / NXT 2.0 / Gold Class.

I used to like liquid but have swayed to paste waxes.....

[nytahoe]

nytahoe, sick ass ride....how you like the pb? You get a lot of dust?

no get very little if any dust. and for the cl its not mine . i just get to wash and drive it :Handshake: new that car is like 180

[TREND]

Pinnacle Soveriegn = Butter...but kinda pricey

[AquinoSteven]

i always used meguiers paste by hand and used the quick detail when it gets dusty but its a pain in the ass as summer aproaches with the pollen and stuff.

[Timmy]

After using poorboys wax I would say try migliore first, I wasnt overly impressed with pb, its good, just not anything really outstanding. The rest of the PB line on the other hand is just plain badass :hail:

i've never used any of the poorboys waxes, but bug squash and the super slick and suds are both AMAZING. they clay they have is also a good quality and it cleaned up my uncles truck pretty good.

honestly, it looks like the new adams paste wax (americana (http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-423-adams-americana-premium-carnauba-paste-wax.aspx)) is going to be good. it's $70 for a 10oz jar, but the results appear to be amazing.


the migliore original is a great wax and can be had for half the price of adams (pm shsportsfan12 for details, he is a supplior) and i'm gonna tell ya, the first time i used it, i wasn't impressed, but the second go around was great. it's easy to apply, but takes some work to get it off. Migliore (migliorewax.com)

i haven't played around with the migliore primo... yet... but mike seems to believe in it. it's a little more than the adams, but it is 100% carnuba and from what i have seen is a high quality, hand crafted, wax. the price is i want to say $90-100. well below most of the waxes that it is being compared to and out doing.

for OTC stuff, my parents believe in turtle wax ice. the results are pretty good for OTC on my moms silver rendezvous and my dads SBM silvy.

i personally used Meguires NXT 2.0 this past week and i am a pretty big fan of how it goes on and comes off. the results on the car i used it on (a 2000 subaro imprezza wagon- metallic black, never waxed) was amazing. it popped and was very crisp. for OTC it is probably the best past i've ever used.

i think that i might order the adams wax next time i order some, but you better believe that i'm gonna scoop up some migliore in the next few days.

[nc6600]

I'm going to order some of that paste wax at Adams next time i order.

I used nxt for awhile on my old 03 ram and it was pretty good, was the first wax i ever used so had nothing to compare it to. My parents also swear by turtle wax ice lol i have used it and its pretty cool stuff but the depth and durability is iffy. They never actually wax their own cars but usually when i'm home i make a point to at least wash and wax their vehicles and thats what they had to use.

[nc6600]

When i gets some $$$ im going to order some Migliore to try.

[Chris]

I'm going to order some of that paste wax at Adams next time i order.

Haha fuck it man get them both, tell me which one is better so I'll know which one I want to buy :Handshake:

[nc6600]

[Timmy]

i really have just started a regular routine. before, i would use any car wash liquid around and some kinda liquid wax (usually gold class), but now it's wash with sss/bug squash, clay, wax with migliore.. .soon to be adam's for now. hehe

I take that back i used PB nattys paste on my first truck for a while.

[Timmy]

i haven't seen many good reveiws for natty's as far as longevity

[nc6600]

i haven't seen many good reveiws for natty's as far as longevityThats why i dont use it anymore.

i think i'm gonna order the adams sampler kit, americana, some more migliore, and some trim stuff.

I like all the products in that kit except the glass cleaner & undercarriage spray.

[Timmy]

I like all the products in that kit except the glass cleaner & undercarriage spray.

that's exactly what i've heard. what do you find wrong with them?

[nc6600]

Glass cleaner leaves streaks i only use Stoners IG on the windows, the undercarriage spray is pretty weak i just use the Adams APC on it.

[Timmy]

so the apc is good?

and word on the stoners.

[nc6600]

so the apc is good?

and word on the stoners.Yep, but i dilute it when using it on the paint. everywhere else i use it full strength.

[Timmy]

what do you use one black plastics, like my airdam?

[nc6600]

Vrt

[Timmy]

i know to dress it, but would you just use apc on the airdam

[nc6600]

I would i use it on the paint to get rid of bugs and it doesn't hurt anything so your air dam should be fine.

[Timmy]

good deal. wanna come detail my truck? haha

[nc6600]

good deal. wanna come detail my truck? haha Sure i take cash or check! And i assume you'll be paying for my ticket or the gas to get down there?

lol, i wouldn't call all meguiars crap, but i certainly wouldn't use cleaner wax as a wax.

hmm maybe im missing something as i just recently detailed my truck with meguiars cleaner wax, can some one educate me on wax ?

[blkcam]

Damn this thread makes me miss summer.

I like Meguiars NXT Tech Wax. Paste.
Im not sure which is better, that or Gold Class paste. I have used both and can't make up my mind.

I might be trying a liquid wax next summer.

Cleaner wax is meant to be used to prep your paint before polish and wax. Also it gets rid of old wax.

[HitandRunDriver]

lol, i wouldn't call all meguiars crap, but i certainly wouldn't use cleaner wax as a wax.

Oh not at all, I use the NXT 2.0 paste on mine, i meant using a cleaner wax in place of something else....

[Timmy]

I just recently started using adams and buttery wax is amazing.

[viximaging]

I use Zymol

[jimweis]

I have painted many high dollar cars and have found Liquid Glass to be the best wax I ever used. Most of the waxes this thread lists I have used. Hands down Liquid Glass is the best I have ever used. Same can and formula for the past 20 years.

whats the problem with the meguires cleaner wax?

[Timmy]

it's a "pre-wax" to clean up the paint before you wax.

honestly, if you want to get a wax that's easy to apply and lasts a good amount of time, you need adam's buttery wax or migliore (from glimmerglassdetailing.com).

Hell I thought Meguiers cleaner wax was wax lol. I guess I need to get some other stuff to go over the top?

I washed my ride, then dryed it, then buffed with Turtle Wax Rubbing Compound (this shit sucks except for removing swirl marks, that's all (didn't remove any scratches like it said it would lol) then used the cleaner wax. The truck was nice and slick and the water beads up on it so I thought it was good.

[nytahoe]

if u want to drop the coin good high end stuff give Dylan a call..
some pics i just did of my sisters car. was in rly bad shape.
wash clay yellow pad with Swirl & Haze Remover and again with an orange pad.
than a pass with a white pad and Fine Machine. toped with a coat of Americana Premium wax. plus a lil vrt on the tires.

[LTZ123]

Not a lot of Zaino fans here it seems.

In terms of a combination of ease of use & shine - try Zaino Clear Seal (Z-CS). You don't need to use Zaino products, in order to use ZCS. Use it over the Adams/Meguires/Nu Finish/Liquid Glass/NXT/whatever. If you have clean paint already - use the ZCS only.

Wipe it on - walk away. No removal, and it protects for 6-9 months and you can do a Tahoe in about 5-10 minutes. Pretty easy...and great results, IMO.

[TahoeTX]

Clay Magic bar and Meguiars High Tech Yellow wax are all I use. I worked at a Mercedes dealership one summer in make-ready and that's all they ever used was Meguiars products and Clay Magic.

[NorCal]

I swear by this stuff, and before you correct me, I know its a polish and not a wax, but the stuff is awesome !!!

I was told this is the only product allowed to been used on new vehicles at the Merc Benz dealership here in town. Great product, go's on easy, and is very easy to remove.

BTW, NYTahoe I'd love to see pictures of that sweat looking Vet in your garage. Dude are you holding out on us of what, lol.

[BigRed76]

Collinite

[TahoeTX]

I just used some Pinnacle Signature Series II on my wifes car to test it out and it's great stuff. It leaves a smooth butter like finish and a nice shine. It's a carnuba wax and oil blend.

[k9lovr]

Sonax Carnuba

[Snipez]

I really like the Ultima line, so much nicer to work with. Meguiars #26 and NXT I like as well.

[DTAILS]

Chemical Guys:

50/50 Concours
Extreme Depth Carnauba
Butter Wet Carnauba

Dodo Juice:

Supernatural Carnauba paste

Lots of other waxes that I use, but these have yielded the very best results over the years.

A few of my recent details showing off the results .........
