i use meguairs ultimate and am happy with it, but after trying dozens of products, I just can't tell the bloody difference.

IMO, the best thing is to get a good polish to prep and clean the paint then almost any wax will work just fine.

I tried Zaino and use it for a year, but decided to try Mother's on a side-by-side test on my black hood and got IDENTICAL results with FAR less effort.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi everyone,
Time for spring cleaning so I wanted to clay bar the car, put on a glaze coat and then seal with a nice top coat of wax.
Mother's makes all of these products, but I don't know how good they are.
Zymol is obviously the cream of the crop, but they only make a clay bar and glaze coat, no top wax coat... Zymol is also expensive as heck.
What is everyone here using?
Thanks
Check this stuff out. I have a customer who swears by their products and will only use Griots.
I have no idea how it performs really, but I just ordered a sampler kit the other day so we will see.

Mother's. I tried Zaino and use it for a year, but decided to try Mother's on a side-by-side test on my black hood and got IDENTICAL results with FAR less effort. I switched to Mother's ever since.
Pinnacle Souveran. After using it for the first time about 10 years ago, I never went back to anything else. It's about $100 for a tub but it's worth every penny IMHO.

On Silver Two best i have tried is "Wolfgang Fusion" and the one im currently using is "Zymol Glasaur"...
Both of these Carnuba Waxes seem to bring out the Flakes in Arctic Silver Mettalic.
Although I've never tried the Zymol Glassaur series, I used to bum the Zymol Atlantique off my detailer friend since he had a lifetime supply of it. This was the only wax at the time that could bring out the metallic pigments of my dark metallic paint like no others. However I'm sure there's been quite a few other top brands that could do the same since that time, especially with all the newer synthetics coming out.
If you are looking for all natural though, Zymol(not the Pepboys made in USA one) is the wax to get if you wanna be all "green" and such. A Zymol rep in the past has backed up the fact that it is(was) made with all natural ingredients by eating it. lol
Wolfgangs and Dodo Juice is what I use... Wolfagangs three step process to get anything off/out and then to add some nutrients and then to glaze. Follow that with some Dodo Juice Hard Candy to give it that deep wet buttery smooth look.
Feds has it right. Its what you do to the paint under the wax will depend what your final outcome is.
I did a clay bar last year, then 10 coats of Liquid GLass (found at most auto parts stores) and the car is a diamond.
I have been using LG since i was a kid and i have to say the paint on all my cars always held up. Even a red corvette in florida that was not garaged in 3 years. <== and thats saying something, red on fiberglass in 100f sun for 3 years.
I used to use LG a long time ago too but it's not as good as it used to be. I tried zaino an griot though and they aren't much better plus they have alot of gimmicks. I look on consumerreports (which I don't swear by) but they claim NuFinish paste was the best in their test however it seems CS believe the others were so poor that they had no choice but to choose NuFinsh.
IMO, the best thing is to get a good polish to prep and clean the paint then almost any wax will work just fine.
prep work is most important, after that you could throw on $2 a tin turtle wax from walmart and it would look great.
i use meguairs ultimate and am happy with it, but after trying dozens of products, I just can't tell the bloody difference.
Excactly. However if you put 10 coats of Liquid Glass on your well prepped car like shark did I have to say, back years ago, it would look unreal but back then my car was Ruby Pearl.
for a straight wax, you guys are going to laugh. But I get better results with good Ol cheap paste turtle wax. It does a better job than any straigt wax. Often we get blind sided by hype.... Wax is actually like wine. Some of the best are really not that expensive.
You know what, you're not kidding... for a final hard coat, I found that it works pretty darn well. If you look into the economics of it, they manufacture and sell more of that stuff than all others combined, so that might have something to do with the price (economy of scale and what not).
Now with Glaze coat, that is def. a different story. This is what actually brings out the shine but offers no protection, and different glazes work differently on each color.
If you read many consumer type reports they still state that for the cost Turtle Wax is the best wax to use. It gives great protection, goes on and comes off easily and lasts quite long.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
