Car wax, what do you recommend?
 

Hi everyone,

Time for spring cleaning so I wanted to clay bar the car, put on a glaze coat and then seal with a nice top coat of wax.

Mother's makes all of these products, but I don't know how good they are.

Zymol is obviously the cream of the crop, but they only make a clay bar and glaze coat, no top wax coat... Zymol is also expensive as heck.

What is everyone here using?

Thanks

Check this stuff out. I have a customer who swears by their products and will only use Griots.
I have no idea how it performs really, but I just ordered a sampler kit the other day so we will see.

Mother's. I tried Zaino and use it for a year, but decided to try Mother's on a side-by-side test on my black hood and got IDENTICAL results with FAR less effort. I switched to Mother's ever since.

There is a wealth of information here in the Concours & Car Car forum.

Pinnacle Souveran. After using it for the first time about 10 years ago, I never went back to anything else. It's about $100 for a tub but it's worth every penny IMHO.

Zaino love the depth and long lasting finish, most do not last long here in hot Phoenix weather.

If it lasts there then it must be good.

P21S concours look wax, you need to apply it often but it works great.

Blackfire Wet Diamond.

On Silver Two best i have tried is "Wolfgang Fusion" and the one im currently using is "Zymol Glasaur"...
Both of these Carnuba Waxes seem to bring out the Flakes in Arctic Silver Mettalic.

I love Rejex! Goes on easy, comes off easy, and lasts forever! Plus, you can also use it on your rims to help brake dust wash off easy!

I've used Zaino with great results for years. Now I am using RejeX wax and I buy it from Bumperplugs. Won a few Concours, too.

Although I've never tried the Zymol Glassaur series, I used to bum the Zymol Atlantique off my detailer friend since he had a lifetime supply of it. This was the only wax at the time that could bring out the metallic pigments of my dark metallic paint like no others. However I'm sure there's been quite a few other top brands that could do the same since that time, especially with all the newer synthetics coming out.

If you are looking for all natural though, Zymol(not the Pepboys made in USA one) is the wax to get if you wanna be all "green" and such. A Zymol rep in the past has backed up the fact that it is(was) made with all natural ingredients by eating it. lol

Wolfgangs and Dodo Juice is what I use... Wolfagangs three step process to get anything off/out and then to add some nutrients and then to glaze. Follow that with some Dodo Juice Hard Candy to give it that deep wet buttery smooth look.

Recommendation......the prep is the most important part.
