Stealthcivic · 05-05-2007, 10:48 PM

I just used Black Magic and my car looks awesome!

cloudbreakmd · 05-06-2007, 12:00 AM

I use Mothers Blend California Gold on all of my cars and motorcyles. I get a n amazing shine, and it lasts a long time... Turtle wax... Yeah right.

if you had info on them taking money from advertising or anything, you'd be a rich man.

I used black magic wet shine but it goes bad in the bottle after a few few months, turtle wax is decent but hard to get of.Im now using Meguirs cleaner polish wax and it makes your car glow.

ironhead · 05-06-2007, 03:51 AM

Use meguirs cleaner wax its awesome.....

HondaFREAK · 05-06-2007, 05:25 AM

~liquid polish
~car wash
~liquid clay bar (just tried this...works pretty well if you ask me)

Tastycakes · 05-06-2007, 05:28 AM

Glad to see DuPont Teflon is at the top kinda

**Qshooter151** · 05-06-2007, 12:07 PM

Meguiar's Gold Class Liquid Wax

Si4Life · 05-06-2007, 05:33 PM

Race glaze polish is good.

quality_sound · 07-17-2007, 06:30 PM

I've tried a lot of waxes and they all have their plusses and minuses. I have the Menzerna twins (that I REALLY like) and Klasse's AIO and High Gloss Sealant Glaze. I'm not nearly as happy with the Klasse stuff as I am with the Menzerna though. The HGSG is a royal PITA to apply and remove evenly. Most of the time I find myself using the stuff left over from the PALLET of stuff Meguiar's sent me when I showed my Passat. It's easy to use, looks great and I can't beat the price.

televascular · 07-17-2007, 06:51 PM

Zymol sells an aged carnauba wax for a few thousand dollars on Amazon.com. You have to melt it with body heat first, and apply only by hand. I don't think its worth the money, of course.

Pinnacle Souveran Concours Wax is considered the "best", at around $80/jar. But like all great waxes, you are sacrificing durability for shine.

I use P21S Concours Wax, around $40/jar. It's a very good balance overall, recommended by Autopia.org!

Nikeman · 07-17-2007, 07:04 PM

I swear by NXT Liquid Wax then NXT Speed Detailer(Or Quick Detailer which ever one I find first) in between wax's. Makes the car look great and lasts quite awhile.

Dubtek3060 · 07-19-2007, 09:13 AM

i LOVE all my p21s stuff

Rems07si · 07-19-2007, 09:25 AM

gibbletz · 09-06-2007, 02:12 PM

I like the 3m wax, its hard to find but works pretty good for my car.
