I've heard of 1 grand blitz wax lasts a long time. I usually use P21S but it doesn't last too long.

Mr Michael B

I have found that there are only a few wax products that last. However, there are some that can. One of the better lasting wax products available can be bought through a rennlister:

I bought this product for use on my 911's, and had such great results that I applied it to my sport ute as well. It last's & last's (and I scrub my SUV w/ a brush after a good off road romp). You cannot get a better wax (in every aspect) for your 911 or your everyday driver than this Victorias Red.

No kidding.

Sealants will far outlast carnuba based waxes. Products like Zaino, Klasse and Meguiars #20 are a few that will give months of protection. Some relatively new ones are Platinum and Blackfire which are ok but not quite of the same caliber regarding durability. There are many more on the market. Some are ok, others are really bad.

I have tested nearly 30 brands and a few have superior characteristics. In the end it's a personal choice of what your goals are.

Second the comment on the polymer sealants. Love Zaino, lasts great.

Depending on where you live and temps there too, wax can actually melt on dark colored cars, so no matter how long it lasts in low temps, it can literally melt away.

The polymers have a MUCH higher melting point. No affiliation, just love the shine and the folks are really nice at <a href="http://www.zainobros.com" target="_blank">www.zainobros.com</a> or <a href="http://www.lazaino.com" target="_blank">www.lazaino.com</a>

If you're waxing an SUV, I would recommend using an orbital buffer. The job goes by so much quicker that it is not such a big deal if the wax doesn't last quite as long. Just a thought. I don't use it on my 911, mainly because I will only do it by hand. But the buffer is broken as well. Also, because I use Meguiar's Gold Class paste wax. Which happens to work well on German paint, and lasts a long time. It just wouldn't use a buffer with it.

I never thought a buffer would do a good job until I tried one. I've used it on black and dark green paints (not the 911, though) and it has been very impressive for a quickie job.

Buffers? Check out the Porter Cable links on this web page...one is a video that's great and the target car is a black Porsche.
