The best car wax?

Just want to throw this one out there! since we all buy these cars used, what are you people using for car wax. I haven't figured out to post pics on this sight yet!(remember i'm an old man )

, but I'll figure it out soon

.I just have to say that if you clay bar your car first and clean it with dish soap, Then your ready for a SHINE. I use Liquid Glass and I still can't believe the shine I get .I had posted a couple weeks ago ,about what color to paint my SVX ,because it had been outside for the last 8 months with no washing to speak of other than the rain

. I thought I was finally in for a paint job! Well I thought i would go to work, and I gave her a good bath and a bigtime claybar routine.

. So Panel by panel I clayed it down,then washed the car with dish soap to strip any old wax off if I had any left

Then applied a nice coat of liquid glass and when I was done ,I have to say I don;t think I'm In need a paint job anymore

. It's like it melts on the car! Man I had forgotten how awesome this stuff is! One thing I did do is I had a guy come out and spray just my mirrors they were really faded to the point I could see the white plastic underneath

. ,and he did a great job on the color match

.After all said and done.I think I'm in the running for the cleanest 94 svx. MAN I STILL CAN'T BELEIVE IT

. I am so happy now and maybe now I spend the money on the lowering springs I wanted to buy, Since I don't have to get a paint job yet

McGuires makes a REALLY good three step process. Clean, polish & wax. I was really really impressed. They also make a great plastic cleaner which works wonders on the front headlights.

Zaino, hands down. It's a little overkill for most people though, both in price and quality... it's meant more for show cars.

Best finishing wax i've used is Meguires #26 mirror glaze.

I most definately have to second that one. I don't think I will ever buy anything else again. Just washing with their soap is almost like a polish job. If you want to go through the entire step-by-step process, though, better clear your calendar for a whole weekend.

I've yet to have the patience for all of it.

Give it a try ,this stuff is great

! Meguiars is good too but I think Liquid Glass is still better!Believe me I'v tried them all

. Everything from Nu-Finish to Zymol!If you try it let us know what you think

. I will also say if yor car is pretty clean, I've used Fast Wax,you can use this stuff wihile th e car is still dirty(within reason of coarse). Not bad stuff either

and if your like me in between washes I use Armor all spray on polish i'ts a quick detail spray! Nice stuff too

I've been using Zymol Japon for some time and it is fantastic. It is supposedly formulated for Japanese paint. Best shine I've ever gotten, including Meguire's and Mothers. And for those with Ebony cars or '92's with black upper bodies, Zymol Carbon Black colored wax cannot be beat! Makes all those hairline scratches disappear. It's bl***y expensive, though, at $50 a tin...
