Default What are your favorite waxes?

I have used Mothers and Eagle One Carnuba wax and like them. However, I bought a Toyota 4Runner last year which had a exterior package whcih included a sealant/cleaner. This Toyota sealant/cleaner is a liquid and is the best stuff I have ever used. I wonder where they get it, so let me know if anyone knows the answer. Are Griot's Garage products anygood? A friend gave me their catalog.

Thanks,

Scott

My favorite wax is Super Glaze by The Wax Shop. Its 100% carnuba. And yes, Griot's Garage makes great products. I use many, just not their wax.

You may want to ask the RL Concours forum this question. They are the experts on paint care.

Zaino for looking good. RejeX for simple track-car type wax.

P21S. 100% carnuba and works as advertised--does not leave residue on black trim.

Default Swissvax Mystery. I used Zaino before

and while it's great for ease of application, the deepness of the shine wasn't there. Pics on my black Audi here after the Swissvax treatment:

Can't afford the Crystal Rock which I understand is about 500 sterling per tub.

Confession time - I send it to a pro detailer and don't do it myself anymore.

I used to use Zymol Carnuba wax, but the polymer waxes just last so much longer. So i now use Zaino or Meguires Gold Class waxes. I use rejex wax on the alloys.
