I also like it the best. I use FMJ underneath for a sealant. A close second for much less money is natty's blue wax.

I read somewhere in this forum about the Autopia products - bought the kit and it is amazing! Really easy to use and my Ivory Pearl looks really good.

Personally, I'm using Swissvax Concourso on my car. I doubt many other G drivers are using the same wax though. It costs $200+. Most people are not as crazy as I am.
You're not crazy, at least not any crazier than I am. I use Zymol Concourse
wax @ $350 a pound. I can guarantee you one thing if you ever felt my cars
surface your jaw would drop. I don't worry about tree sap, bird sh!t or hard
water spots it just washes off. Nice to know someone else
cares about their G as much as I do and how it looks!

I used to use Zymol. In fact, I just sold my old jar of Concours to a guy on Autopia. I still have some Vintage, Atlantique, and Destiny in my collection but I've found I like Swissvax better. It's MUCH easier to use. It buffs off fairly easy and I always found Zymol very difficult to buff off. Also, Swissvax so far seems to last MUCH longer than Zymol. It's been at least 4 weeks since I applied any it and water still beads like it was freshly applied. The car still shines pretty nicely too. So far from the Swissvax collection I've used Saphir and Concourso. Concourso has a much deeper and brighter shine than Saphir. I wouldn't waste my time with Saphir. One day I might move up to Mystery.

....... you aren't dealing with any issues relating to oxidation, marring or fine s cratches from carwashes, etc.
Optimum goes on and comes off almost magiclly easy. I've fooled wih cars and waxes/polishes for 40 years and I can assure no product I'v used has impressed me like Optimum.Before the flaming starts just let me say my '06 OB Coupe got Optimum on day one and probably 15 coats since. It looks great, lasts long and at 20 minutes per treatment what's not to like (including it's low price!)?...... Check out Optimums website and read bio of owner/inventor who was a chem engineer with Dupont.
JMHO, but most of the high dollar boutique type products while great just aren't much better (if at all) than Optimum and they're overpriced!

I agree with almost everything you said here. I have used Optimum Car Wax in the past and it is SILLY easy to use. Spray on, wipe off and you're pretty much done with it. Plus, it looks pretty decent and the company makes lots of other good products. In fact, Optimum Car Wash is one of my favorite car wash soap. It's very hard to beat in terms of bang for the buck. All Optimum products are priced very reasonably and you often get 2-3 times as much product per dollar as many other brands.

I totally disagree with everything stated here. What "high dollar boutique type" products have you used? Not everything that's more expensive is better but a blanket statement like that is just untrue.
