Best type of wax?
I have a black 8 and was wondering if any special type of wax is needed? What do you all use? Thanks
|
I use NXT Tech wax, it works great!
|
It depends on what condition your paint is in. Since you have a black 8 i would look into using Meguiar's scratch X 2.0 or swirl X before you use NXT tech wax. NXT is a good synthetic wax. Then just maintain with Quick or speed detailer's. This is what I do and the car looks perfect.

Meguiar's NXT Tech II myself, but of course it's a synthetic.
In the current "pollen season" I also use detailing spray almost daily. By best wax if you mean natural then a high-Carnauba content such as Griot's Garage Best of Show. btw: there's no such thing as 100% Carnauba, as it would be as solid as a brick. |

Oh to have Altspace's 12 foot (yes foot) daily commute, and therefore no rock chips! ;)
There is no 100% Carnauba Josh; that's just marketing BS. Again, if it were 100%, it'd be a rock hard lump of wax. |
like jedi54 said. ZAINO!! best stuff to use on your paint. :yesnod:

+1 on the P21S.
also give zymol a shot. |
I've been a die hard Zaino fan forever... but I think I might be switching to Prima soon. Check 'em out.

That's the NAME of the product. 100% While it doesn't say what % in total, the packaging does explain the wax they use is 100% carnauba flakes, mixed with other 'stuff' to make it workable. I refer to it as P21S 100% Carnauba wax as well, only cos it's the name of the product itself. |
zymol concours is the best!!

There is no best type.. just what you prefer. This thread will fill up with nothing but opinions. Go on Autopia and find out what seems to be the most popular. /thread

I'm not even sure if I prefer paste or liquid. All I know and remember out of all the brands I've used before I didn't like armor all brand at all, and preferred poorboys, mcguires and mothers. I use nufinish paste on my old car. lol.

Zaino system for dark paint.

^wow

thread could go on forever. My preferred waxes/sealants (no particular order)
Klasse AIO Poorboys Natty Blue Collinite Insulator Wax Wolfgang Paint Sealant |
Some good ones I've strictly kept using over the past few years over the numerous OTC products I wasted money on over the years:
Collinite 845 Klasse Sealant Glaze I recently tried HD Poxy as well, and I like it, but it does have some fillers in it and you can't layer it like KSG, so I'm going back to KSG pretty soon as it has the best durability on the planet and can be used on anything, plastic, glass, paint, etc. I'd highly recommend KSG as a sealant for any car color for the added durability, then you can top it with a carnauba to get that extra pop. I'm no longer as big a fan of carnauba waxes because I CAN'T STAND dust, and sealants attract A LOT less of it. |
Gotta love Klasse, autogeek.net had a bogo a few weeks ago
Collinite was my first go-to wax. Really is some good stuff, and it is one of the best waxes I have machined on. |
