Best Wax??? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

After this weekend at the 1st Annual Twins on the Dragon my car is beyond filthy. Depending on the weather tomorrow I plan on wash, wax, and a heavy deatil. What would y'all reccommend?

30ml of Dodo Juice Supernatural. ~$30 and you'd probably get two uses out of it.

What do you want?

Shine or good protection?

There are going to be a ton of answers on this, but my personal preference after trying quite a few products over the years is Blakckfire Wet Diamond.

It's real easy to apply (you want to do a good detail on the paint first - as this is not a consumer product with fillers) and wipe off and last a LONG time. It last forever on my garage-kept car, and still looks good for a couple of months on my cars that sleep outdoors.

Edit: For the record, I've had terrible experiences with both the old and new versions of Meguiars' NXT wax. On a humid day, I'd have to wait hours fr it to cure and even then it was a nightmare to remove compared to the blackfire.

If you want gloss, and durability, coatings are the way to go.

Some good stuff you can order is Wolfganag and pinacle from autogeek.net or if you head down to autozone there are a few good things you can pick up. I have the mothers carnuba paste and Zymol cleaner wax. I just picked up the Zymol today because it says that it does everything and contains carnuba. In reality though IT DOES. I bought it to remove bird S**T stains under my paint and it did it. It also removes light swirl marks and it waxes. I love this stuff i highly recommend.

just rubbed on out with zymol, 'carbon' for the black car and 'creme' for the white one, good wax. I also like Sonax, my age is showing here

Adams Americana 60$ for 4 to 6 months of shine and protection.

i also have to agree with blackfire wet diamond. its very easy to apply and wipe off. and gives the car a very nice gloss. i've tried a few different brands and none have been as good as the blackfire.

Well you'll wanna go the synthetic path then.

Mothers is pretty good, i'd check them out. You can get em at most auto stores.

I have a friend who uses Ammo products, his car always looks good. He beats it to hell and i still can't find a swirl mark on it...stuffs a bit pricey but you get what you pay for.
