I use Mother's products. First after car is really clean I use Mother's pure polish to remove swirls, followed by Mother's Reflection car wax and then Mother's top coat. I finish everything by applying Bead Maker

first off, if your car is ceramic coated, you’d likely want to stay away from traditional waxes as may times they simply don’t play well together.


For paste waxes directly applied to a non coated car, the colonite 845 and 915 score high marks. Products with high levels a carnauba give deep warm gloss. Synthetics have more of a radiant brightness to them. I kinda roughly compare it to analogue vs digital in audio.

For synthetic spray wax, I’ve not found anything as glossy and radiant as TAC Systems Shinee Wax. I’ll likely have a bottle of it around until I no longer own a car of any kind...it’s simply bottled solar flares!

If you move away from the typical “wax” category and go with sealants - polymer or SiO2, I like the PolishAngel company VERY much. And I’m a huge fan of TAC systems SiO2 sealants, especially 1 Step master and moonlight. I’ve got 1 step sitting on top of my Modesta Glass coating as a sacrificial layer. There is an example of products that play well together.

If you are simply trying to find a good LSP, (last step product) waxes although still used, are a little old school - and not a damn thing wrong with that. Again, if your car has a ceramic coating, move on to another type of LSP: one that will play well with an Si02 host.

-Silica/ceramic (SiO2) spray sealants are the dominant type of LSPs these days and the choices are overwhelming.

-I’m also a fan of polymer sealants; a little older than the new SiO2 products in terms of the “technology of chemistry”, perhaps you’ve heard of Beadmaker or Jesscar Powerlock. Again, PolishAngel doesn’t make a bad product in my opinion. Many of these will play well with coated cars. All work perfectly fine with uncoated cars.

There are a mind numbing number of quality products to chose from now. My advise is to watch a bunch of video reviews from people that honestly know what they are doing and gravitate towards a product or two that deliver the results you want and conform to the level of work you’re willing to put in to achieve those results.

let me know if I can help.

Best of luck to you.

This is the answer. There really isn't a big difference in most waxes. A wax can only be as good as the paint it's applied to. Good prep work can make any wax look and feel great.

For the record, I've used JaxWax products for years and have never been disappointed. Just tried some Chemical Guys glaze and wax on my Vette for the first time and really like them, too. Truth is most of them out there are pretty good.

You mean I'd be wasting money on this?


Kore R4 Premium wax.....8 oz for $1499.99.


I use Griots Garage products or M. Ultimate wax and use their spray wax as a detailer. Works for me.

C-Magic & try their Radiant

Sad thing is many owners will spend crazy amounts like this when cheap brands from Walmart can almost or just as good.

At least one of you guys needs to start condensing your responses. Way to much thought process into something simple.

Judging from the pictures posted I might have to try Nu Finish.
