Need to know which wax
I need to know which wax is the very best for my ZO6. If you can give me some specifics on the wax it would be greatly appreciated. I want to use the best wax, but not the hardest to use. Thanks for your tips!

I think you'll find that these days the answer isn't wax, but paint sealants. I have been using the Blackfire products as they are integrated with each other, that and they work well here in blazing S FL sun. Those are exclusive to Autogeek.

Wax? Sure just the start of your journey into addiction. Then its clay bars, buffers, DA or Orbital, pads, paint cleaners, conditioners, polish, sealants, detail sprays, microfiber cloths, the list is endless…….and your pockets are vacated. You wind up on the street hustling for money to feed your addiction…you lose all dignity and self esteem…you become homeless except for your car…you….never mind I digress….to answer your question, Zaino.

Once the paint is clean, don't waste your time washing it with a hose. Lots of us, here in CA use 3D waterless car wash, just spray, wipe, lightly, and then buff. You can do the whole car in 15 minutes and your car will gleam. It's so quick, that there's really no excuse to ever have a dirty car. Once every few months you can give a regular wash to get inside the wheels but that's about it.

Is there such a thing as "the best".
With so many brands and opinions a can of worms will be opened by the question!
Many good brands, many loyal fans of this brand and that.............
I have 4 well recognized products and it is hard to tell the difference between them.
I wish you well with your quest!

I saw thread on here that said that Chadwick's was the best wax ever for our cars. There's even some youTube videos that went along with it. At $70 per bottle, or kit, I forget which it is, it's a little too pricey unless you do a lot of shows and expect to get trophies and so forth. I use the Meguiar products and they seem to do just fine. The NXT stuff and it works for me.

If you try it, you know. It has a layering affect that is amazing to see. Layer after layer, the shine gets deeper. If you go to the trouble, it does last a long time. I have a black car, so other colors might have such a dramatic result.
