Hi Everyone,

I have a black car and have tried tons of waxes to remove the impurities in the paint. I have been reading and talking with some people so it looks like my next step is to clay bar the car then give her a nice coat of wax.

My question to everyone is what are really good waxes that I can post on a poll to see what everyone is truly using. I'm a math guy and like to play the percentages. I'm looking for 5-8 waxes that should be on a poll. If the car is black and there is a better wax for that just let me know!

Zaino! Best out there in my opinion....first remove any old wax using Dawn dish soap then clay bar and then Zaino. Outlasts any wax I have seen. Go to the 'Car Care Products' section for more info on this subject.
