Adam's Americana is about the best out there. Been using ONLY Adam's on my cars for about 10 years now.

I'm a big user of Griot's product and find that I prefer their carnuba wax stick. It's much easier to apply and remove than the Best of Show wax. And the smell is intoxicating.

I use Pinnacle Souveran and Blackfire over Rejex. Those two products bring out the high gloss finish on Black but the trade off is I lose the extremely slick finish of Rejex.

Thanks

If you loose the slick finish, then what are the advantages of adding the wax?

Been using Chadwick's Triple Play for about 6 months with great results. The results are incredible and it takes about 20 minutes.

I use Meg's Gold Class + Carnauba. Have used Meguiars' products for years. There may be better waxes, but not at the price you pay for the GC. Recently started using their Wash and Wax and am very happy with it. Griots has a great reputation, but as I wax 3 or 4 times a year, I'm very pleased with Megs. My second choice would be Mothers. Again, for the money, you get a great product. Actually will be waxing today, not that it needs it, but it is great therapy! GC+C for the Vette, and Meg's cleaner wax for my daughter's SRX. Will use Meg's Crystal Wash for both cars, as I don't need the wax from the washing.

Same here. Chadwicks triple play is awesome. So fast and convenient. I open garage and spray wipe car and I'm hitting the highway.
his tire dressing is awesome too

You don't need another reply, but I have to say that Griot's is excellent! I use the "Best of Show" wax, and their spray wax as a detailer. Love it!

Spent a couple hours this morning with a full wash using Dawn, then Mother's Clay Bar and finished with a coat of Rejex on the body and wheels. So easy to apply and whip off with a brilliant shine. Waiting for the full 12 hour curing to complete and then will add a second coat of Rejex. I don't have a decent camera so these are with my iPhone and does not do the actual deep shine justice.

I do like the results from Best of Show, but it seems a little more subdued (on Cyber Gray) than the Meguiar's NXT 2.0 that I prefer.
Except saying a bear to remove if you put it on thick is an understatement. I cut WAY back on the amount applied and it still was a bitch. Have a full bottle gathering dust.

Chadwicks will always win. Don't waste time washing your car, rinsing it off, and then drying it. Then you gotta wax it and take off wax.
Chadwicks
1.spray
2. Wipe
3. Done
