there are so many waxes out there to use.
which brand of wax is the best?
i know there are zanio, and etc. but im looking for a wax that can be brought at pepboys/auto-zone.
im looking for a wax with the best shine/wet look.

also is it okay to put couple of coats of wax on our car?

im fairly new to the detailing scene.
thanks alot..

 

S100 can get it a Harley Davidson store.NXT tech wax, Gold class, Duragloss total performance polish (105), Well some people have said Duragloss is just like Zaino but with duragloss you can get it at carquest. Plus it big on Autopia.com

 

I have tried the store stuff and found Zaino, Poor Boys and Menzerna to be much better. As far as the store stuff NXT seems to be the best.

 

This subject has been beat to death. There is no one best wax or there would only be one kind of wax available.

Your best bet is read the sticky on this thread and learn about detailing, types of waxes, sealants etc to decide what's best for you.

 

Good point RBull. Also, prep work is the key to any finish, not what kind of sealant or wax is used. If you use $1500 Zymol Vintage on a swirled up car it won't look as good as a properly polished and prepped vehicle with Meg's wax.

Here's a guide to the auto detailing process to get you started. There's a lot to learn about properly detailing your vehicle for maximum results, it is an art form.

Hope that helps.

thanks for the info guys.

just got 2 more question.

should i use detail spray before i wax the car?

also how is zymol wax(teal/greenish color)? its the most expensive wax at pepboys.

thanks again

 

Don't use detailing spray before but after to help remove any stubborn wax residue

Also don't get zymol that you see at the pepboys. Just get some NXT tech wax if you don't want to buy online.

 

NXT sucks! Shines at first, but won't last. For otc, try Duragloss 105. Bumper to Bumper or AutoZone. Then once per month use the Aquawax for boost. If you're real serious, use the Duragloss 601 then the 105.
Great shine and durability.

 

Like George already stated, the prep work is the key to a great looking finish.

Also, you may want to consider using a Sealant rather than a wax since it's MUCH more durable. A cheap wax from a store is only going to last a few weeks and you'll need to reapply it again. Good luck.

 

Man I thought I was the only one that knew about Duragloss. FInally someone else.

 

come'on guys... don't hide what you really use!!!

 

Hey some people actually put that on there wheels. It's a bitch to remove off the exterior.

 

duragloss 105, i dont think ive seen that brand of wax at pepboys/auto-zone. what kind of container does it come in?

what is the difference between sealant and wax?
thanks

 

You can mostly find this at a napa, partplus or where everyone find's it carquest.Also sealant last long then wax's but don't have that much depth as waxs. That why mostly get the best of both worlds and layer a sealant and then layer wax 12-24hr's after. So you get long lasting protection and shine.

Also there is sealant out there that do both and wax that do both.

 

duragloss FTW. Aquawax is arguably one of the best products in my arsenal. Its so easy to apply, and leaves one of the slickest surfaces ever.
