Default It's my birthday. So i'm waxing the car.

Yup....i'm 29 today. My wife keeps asking me what i want to do tonight.......and i keep giving her the same response.

"I just want to wax the car"

So here's the ish. I have a couple of bottle's of Adams Buttery wax and a bottle of rejex at home.

The only other instant resource i have is an autozone on my way home from work (yes, i also work on my bday).

I love the way the adams comes out, but i'm very dissapointed that after 2 washes the wax is gone. So i'm thinking i'm done with that stuff.

The rejex is nice and lasts a long time, but doesn't give the same visual that the buttery wax does.

Any suggestions? should i use the adams? the rejex? or is there something at autozone thats decent?

Thanks much for any suggestions.

Thanks much for any suggestions.
Change your response. If my wife kept asking what I wanted to do tonight, i would have other images than waxing the car.

I like Adams Buttery wax but it you want to try something else from Autozone give Megs. NXT 2.0 a try.

It's good to have that "me-time," but sometimes your b-day isn't always about you. It's sometimes about the ones who want to spend it with you. After your done, take a night out and hit up that nice quiet bar/restaurant with the wifey.

Thank you. I did get a nice coat of rejex on the car which made me happy.

And trust me, autozone isn't my choice for detailing products. I was just in a hurry and didn't have time to order anything from a reputable vendor.

Thanks everyone.

Glad to hear you got time to take care of your car. It can be tough with work, family, weather, etc. to find a good day to detail. I hope you had a good bday!

I love a man that polishes his car more than his shoes.
