Best retail found waxes?

[srl1104]

I just tried out the Mothers Reflections Car Wax and Top Coat on my BMW. I am very impressed with this combination. I will repost after it has been on awhile. I dont know how long this wax is supposed to last.

A friend of my parents who is big into boating always used Garry's wax on his vehicles. It's mainly sold to the boating industry, but works well on cars too. I helped wax his car once, and I liked it. A quick Google showed me they're still making it too.

Another vote for Colonite Insulator Wax

I've never found anything better than NuFinish. I prefer the paste version but, liquid works well too.

 

[VaderSS]

Have you tried Collinite? I've used NuFinish and I prefer Collinite.

Any other places to find the durogloss other than NAPA or Carquest?

 

[Russell]

You can order direct. Check their website at Duragloss.com. There are some other sources besides Napa or Carquest on their website.

Meguiars #26 wax is a very good off the shelf wax imo, i used it for the first year after i purchased my 06sentra. I've since switched over to megs. #20 poly sealant, good stuff easy to apply & remove and provides very good durability.

I like Liquid Wax for long time protection. Once a year with maybe a touch up on the front end.

NXT liquid for me followed by a good carnuba about once a month. I was recently surprised with Black Magic...picked it up a Auto Zone and was impressed with how easy it was to work with (liquid carnuba) and how cheap it was.

I would say I have had good luck with nu finish as well. It is available almost anywhere. It is easy to apply. It seems to last decent.

I have used the insulator wax and the solid FleetWax. Honestly (for me) they are harder to use, don't leave a very deep shine. I would rate the durability good and I sometimes use it on my alloy wheels.

But I doesn't outlast NuFinish IMHO

I've never cared for any of the Meguiar's stuff, and I've tried a lot of them. Their stuff is closer to the Turtle Wax end of the spectrum than the Zaino, Duragloss, Klasse end. I tend to lean towards the DG and Zaino stuff over the others. They are pretty tough to beat.

If you have a Harley Davidson dealer near you, you can purchase S100 wax for $15, and it is identical to the much lauded P21S wax, commonly sold in German car dealerships for $35. Try a google search on P21S for detail on it. Goes on easy, comes off easy, looks great.

I use Zaino but if you want a over the counter good product,try Rejex.
New synthetic polymer technology produces a much better shine and protection then the 30 year old formula solvent loaded Nu-Finish.
Many True Value hardware stores carry Rejex.

So I wasn't dreaming when I smelled a bottle of NuFinish, and it smelled like gasoline?

I tried it once and it never impressed me.

So after swearing by Liquid Glass, i have found a new favorite. Collinite no. 476s. I have never seen water bead the way it does with the 476s, i am very impressed so far. I hope it's as durable as i hear, well worth the $15 i paid if so.

i agree that duragloss 105 is the best deal for 10 bucks.

s100 is excellent to top the duragloss, and if you want something that looks more like a wax then a sealant. Collinite is your answer.
