Best Wax You Have Used
#1
Well, I just went out and spent about $100 on some wash, polish and wax for my cars, and everything seemed to turn out well. Out of the different waxes I've used over the years, the most recent (and expensive) one seemed to work the best for me, which is Zymol. Just was looking for some input on your detailing experiences and if anyone has some tricks/secrets for a really good shine, please share. Thanks all

The only wax on your list even WORTH considering is ZAINO.
I prefer BLACKFIRE, followed by Klasse and Pinnacle
If you want to discuss detailing in detail (HAHAHA) go register at wwww.autopia-carcare.com

my response to this would be so long no one would read it anyhow.
let me try to sum it up quickly:
wax is the final step in a process, at the end of the process the wax
does NOTHING for gloss enhancement, it only preserves the finish.
I used to own and operate a detail shop, my neighboor was a limosine
company that I would wash his cars EVERYDAY, black, silver, and
white cars. I would also detail/wax the cars. Being as I had such a
good test bed of cars that were being washed everyday, I tried
every single wax I could get my hands on the cars to test them.
In the end it boiled down to how long the wax lasted and ease of use
which includes things like "when you pull a black car out in the
sun does it look like total *** requiring more hand buffing, or does it look great?"
the really cheap crap didnt last and wasnt that easy to work with
to achieve the highest results.
The more expensive **** was just that- expensive, none that I tested
did anything more then a $7.99 bottle of Mothers Carnuba wax
and none lasted longer. I even waxed some hoods 1/2 and 1/2 so
I could see which ones lasted longer so I talk from expierence, im not
a web site that is biased to my own products that I sell so take it
for what its worth.
Personally I use 3M products for compounds, glazes and what not, and
finish it with Mothers wax. Very few can argue the finish I achieve with
this on a black car even if that car is out in the sun or in the shade.
most show cars do not use wax at all, they only use glazes.
