I dont know if you know this but If your only using this, your not getting all the results you could be. first Im sure your car is, but make sure you have a darker color car...This wax is a finishing wax...this wax contains no cleaning properties. This is a very GOOD wax but you gotta prep your car right, before use of this product...first step is you want to polish and clean the car up of any pitted or swirl areas then you wanna glaze as a base coat for the sealing process and Wax. I think alot of you have waxing all wrong...your all using great Waxes but are not prepping the car right...its not the the finishing wax that makes the car look great- its the prep time.

Preparation...preparation...preparation! As just said, preparation is the secret.
I have my favorite car care products that give my cars the look I like...as does everyone else here. There's no one best except the ones that you like best.
An inexpensive, mass market merchandied brand wax will look better on a properly prepared car surface than the best, more expensive and heavily hyped brand wax on a poorly prepared surface.

you will find Autogeek.net offers more brands and some of the best lines in waxes and paint sealants (synthetic waxes). There are many products available and it comes down to preference. Do you machine polish ?? If not, you will likely want an AIO product. If you machine polish you can use a pure wax or pure sealant. Here are some of the best options :
Sealants -- Rejex, Wolfgang, Duragloss, Four Star, Megs, Finishkare
waxes -- Pinnacle, Wolfgang, P21S, Dodo Juice, DP, Megs, and Poorboys
AIO's -- Klasse, Optimum, XMT360 and more

I've had 5 corvettes. Like Meguiars Car wash. Used Meguiars NXT which is pretty good. Used to think Zaino was the best until I started using formula 113. It is the best out there hands down. Easy application, deep wet shine and durable. Need at least 3-4 coats for optimum. then bead-X detail spray. you'll never need to wash your car unless you drive off road.....lol

For car wash I've tried Megs Gold Class, Zaino and recently Duragloss. Out of the three I have to say I like Duragloss the best and it is the cheapest.
For "wax" I use Zaino products. Have used Megs and Rejex but I like Zaino best. It has the best shine IMO and is the easiest to use with the longest protection.

Tried out Optimum Rinseless Wash on the daily drivers and I have to say it works really well! I'm pretty impressed. I did both cars quicker than I could have with the old hose and bucket method. Now it won't take the place of a good ol car washing but for those times when it's not super dirty but dirty enough to bug me I think this will be my go to from now on.

I use wash from Autozone. Sometimes I try different types.
What I don't switch from however, is P21S.
This wax is the best.
Obviously the car needs a prep, but P21S goes on sooo nice, hand buffs off with a microfiber, no staining trim, no powdery junk.
Just a really nice and proper wax product without all the marketing hype.
