The best waxes according to CR
I just got my July 06 Consumer Reports the other day and in the issue they rate car waxes. Unfortunately, they did not include Zaino, I guess because it is not available at major retailers.
Anyhow here are the top three in each category:
Liquids:
1. Black Magic Wet Shine Liquid Wax BM48016 (Gloss=E; Durability=E)
2. Turtle Wax Carnauba Car Wax T-6 (Gloss=E; Durability=E)
3. Eagle One Nanowax (Gloss=E; Durability=Fair)
Pastes:
1. Nu Finish NFP-80 (Gloss=VG; Durability=E)
2. Turtle Wax Platinum Series Ultra Gloss T-411R (Gloss=E; Durability=G)
3. P21S Concours-look Carnauba wax (Gloss=G; Durability=G)
Sprays:
1. Eagle One Wax-As-U-Dry (Gloss=G; Durability=P)
2. Turtle Wax 1 step wax n dry (Gloss=G; Durability=F)
3. Turtle Wax Platinum Series Ultra Gloss (Gloss=F; Durability=F)
where E=exellent; VG=very good; G=good; F=fair; P=poor.
They had all major brands including Meguiars, which suprisingly did not do very well. I use Meguirs NXT on my wife's car and I thought it was pretty good. The Meguiar's products ranked as follows: Liquid, No. 9; Paste, 4; Spray, No. 7.
They had other categories besides gloss and durability, but these are the ones most of us care about.
