Can anyone recommend a good wax for a BRZ?

weederr33 · 06-25-2018, 06:55 PM

I use the meguiars carnauba wax in tandem with ammo NYC skin sealant.

Better question is how much you want to spend?
How's stuff under $20?
Stuff under $40?
Stuff under $80?
How about stuff over $100?

I like meguairs ultimate paste wax. Excellent water shedding, and very easy to apply. I also apply a quick coat of meguairs ultimate quick detailer while drying after a wash. A tin for a car our size should be enough for 4-5 total applications.

Collinite Liquid Insulator Wax #845 is nice stuff. About $1 an once. Anything more than that is wasting cash. Wax is sacrificial so there's no need to be crazy spending since you're going to be doing it a lot.
I do several coats of Klasse High Gloss Sealant Glaze, also about $1 an once, about every 6 months and then top it off regularly with the Collinite. Both of those have all positive reviews no matter where you look.

Sure, just wash you car real good with dish soap (to remove old wax), clay bar the car and then wax it with any name brand wax.

Do a sealant first. Then a day or two later a nice carnauba was for shine. quick detailed after that when needed.

My go to is Klasse all in one followed by klasse high gloss. I don't usually top coat it with wax.

Chemical guys Extreme top coat works well. Then follow-up waxings with butter wet wax, detailer v07 for quick shine.

I've always used Meguiar's Carnauba and I've never been disappointed, unless I did it when it's cloudy and 40 degrees

I highly recommend Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish if you just want a quick sealant to provide some protection and beading. You can always top with something else it if you like.

Personally I like Soft99 Fuso Coat if you want a traditional paste wax but it only lasts ~3 months for me.

Chemical Guys.

ls1ac · 06-26-2018, 02:13 PM

I think the first two questions should be:

1) climate,condition, exposure to whatever elements

2) how often do you plan to reapply the "wax" job

Then select the material to use.

Collinite wax. Its affordable and do wonders, also last more than your tipical retail wax
