Best new car wax?

[ToroPerro]

Can some of you share your experiences with waxes for new cars? So many waxes today are "cleaner waxes" for older, oxidized paint.

I am looking for a wax that does less cleaning function but still goes on and off easily.

I used to use the 3M premium stuff but it is SO hard to get off without a buffer, even on a new car.

Any recomendations would be appreciated.

I am sure the folks at Zymol throw a little party every time they sell a container of that stuff.

hah! indeed!!

Go to Taret/Pep boys etc and get a bottle of NXT from Meguiars. Really great stuff! And I have waxed alot of cars. Comes off easy. I do use a DA though.

griot's paste wax if a dark metalic like mine. i have brg/brg. looks so awesome on it.

otherwise the epic is highly recommended or simple meguiars anything

For the BEST and EASIEST on/off and protection & shine....


Use Eagle One's "Nano Wax" - look in my gallery......my car has won many trophies and has been in MC2 magazine.....

BEST thing about it is, it will not leave 'white residue' on the plastic bits.....and the shine is AMAZING.....

Takes me about 20 minutes to (hand) polish my MINI with this stuff....

i can agree with Eagle Nano Wax being an awesome product. It not as easy on easy off as Slick, but after 4 weeks in the salt and snow (and rain) of Ohio, the water was beading off my mom's car's hood.

P21S is a great easy-on, easy-off wax. Rated #3 by CU above ( not that they ever know what they are babbling about ). If you like it, try S100 by the same company, available only in Harley stores I believe. $10 cheaper a jar, and the same thing, no matter what anybody tells you

See....Eagle One is rated #3 and #1 respectively.

I think they have a good thing going....and I have used everything from A to Z(aino)

Wolfgang's products aren;t listed, but their quick detail spray is 'slightly' better than Eagle One's wax-as-you-dry because it is water based and less oily - goes on and off easier.

I'm going to change my vote to anything made by Prima

*shuts laptop to go outside and play with Amigo and Epic*

[Peter W.]

I have tried almost everything from Meguiars, Mothers, Turtle Wax, Eagle One, you name I tried it. I have to highly recommend the PRIMA line. Epc is the best wax yet. Unreal!!!!!!!!!

[kyriian]

Ive tried Zaino, and Klasse, both works wonders, Zaino is a bit easier by hand, while i think Klasse is easier with a machine

that said, i will give it that Prima Epic is looking good too... i think i might try that when my Klasse runs out on the family's other car

Zymol is great, if you can pay for the good stuff... their cheap stuff i heard aren't very good

[mcdbrendan]

I;m waiting for Prima to cure right now, so i will give it another vote.

[BlimeyCabrio]

Epic. Epic. Epic. Yeah, what I said... Epic.
