Default Car wax thread again.

Ok I know the car wax thread has been beat to death but I feel with new technology and a ever growing market this thread should be addressed at least once a year haha. So with that bein said what is your car wax preference? As you can see in the pic I have tried a lot of wax`s but imho the Maguire's marine wax is the best I have used, both for easy on/off and for end result. now I know most of you will say Rejex but as you can see from the pic I have tried it and wasn't that impressed.

I like Zaino polish. I think it's the best.

I'm in with Maguiars Ultimate Liquid Wax, easy, smells good, and leaves my car with shiny results, but then we all know its the final polish/buff under the wax that really is the key to great lookin paint right

NSF far left corner in my pic you can see the ultimate, I have used that to, but I like the marine wax better.

NSF and Commander, I have recently started using the Wolfgang waterless followed by Lucas quick spray wax. Probably the best results I've seen yet.

That looks my wax collection. I have not found any magic solutions. Clay bar, M105 and M205 followed by any wax seems to give me nice results no matter what the final layer is.

Still a fan Meguiar's NXT 2.0 is my favorite. Leaves no white residue behind, easy on easy off and about 19 bucks per bottle

Meguiar's Nxt Generation Tech Wax 2.0 introduces a new dimension of gloss and protection. This wax's formula is a proven, synthetic wax that produces unbelievably deep, vibrant color and a dramatically clear, wet look. Hydrophobic Polymer Technology in the Nxt Generation Wax provides relentless water beading and protection against oxidation, corrosion, UV rays and surface degradation. This new breakthrough hydrophobic technology builds an incredible protection and surface tension wash after wash, so water beads up and glides off your paint finish. For a flawless “show car" shine, the Meguiar's Tech Wax 2.0 is the smart choice for anyone that takes pride in their vehicle.

I'm lazy and prefer synthetics like Carpro Reload. It's so easy to apply, can even do it if the car is wet.

I'm not a Maguires fan at all, but the NXT 2.0 is pretty easy on-off.

Have you tried Pinnacle Signature Series II? I've tried a bunch of different waxes & polishes. If you are going to wax your car by hand, this is hands down, the easiest, most forgiving, best looking (end result) wax that I've ever used. It goes on like butter (no chalky stuff) It buffs off clean w/a microfiber towel. Easy PZ, Plus it smells awesome. It worked great on the Black Vette I had before & it works awesome on the White Vette I have now.

NuFinish is still doing a damn good job - car gets driven in the rain and can't even tell once she dries off - must be all the beading

I was using Meguiars Ultimate until I tried Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0. Wolfgang is all I use now. It goes on and off easier than MU and holds up just as well.
