Just out of curiosity I was wondering what you guys like to use for paste wax. I have the Chemical Guys 5050 wax and I love it, but im always open to suggestions.

I've been using Lusso Oro for about a year now, goes on easy and smells great!

I use meguiar's ultimate paste wax once every season since it has good durability. It also looks neat since its a polymer wax. Then I'll apply coats of meguiar's gold class wax a couple times a month, mainly to the front of the car where the polishing oils will fill in the rock chips.

This is what I have been using for almost the past 5 years: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/P21S-100-Carnauba-Wax/dp/B000ZBHTAI"]Amazon.com: P21S 100% Carnauba Wax: Automotive[/ame]
it's pretty easy to remove as well, even after it dries when you miss a spot and see it the next day. If I spot a missed wax spot, I just spray some detailer on it and it wipes right off. some other waxes are a pain to get off once it dries on.

I used dodo juice's supernatural a couple times. it's so expensive--a sample size is $30.

That being said, I got 5 applications out of it.

But price aside, it looked mighty fine on my CWP. Probably the best I've used.

If you want real world protection, look towards a sealant (or a coating, although I would recommend to you that you would look to a pro to apply the coating). Paste wax generally speaking offers little protection, and that should be the reason to apply a wax in the first place, as the looks are nearly all in the prep. Meaning proper washing and decontamination and polishing. Now with that said if you have a garage queen and you slap a coat of wax on every month, I totally get that usage. There are plenty of options out there, depends what you want to spend. I own Pinnacle Souveran and like the wax quite a bit, natural product, super easy application and removal.

Just ordered some 50/50 wax by Chemical Guys. I'd like to try CSP Detailing's wax too.

I second the sealant, or professional paint coating, options. Carnauba wax really is old tech by today's paint protection standards. I've also seen it dis-color some brands of clear bra.

I used to use Collinite 845 wax, the Pinnacle stuff is good too.

Pickup a sealant like Blackfire Wet Diamond and you will love it

About the only time I use carnauba wax anymore is to top off a sealant on a dark colored show car or garage queen, as it adds more depth and gloss to the finish.

Big fan of dodo juice. They have a special blend for white cars. Looked spectacular after cutting, polishing, and sealing.

How much of the 50/50 do you end up using per session? I waxed my car today and it looks phenomenal! But it looks like I used up more than half of the can...

You really don't need to apply it that thick.
