Yeah, I have decided to go back to long lasting "paste wax" or the liquid equivalent.
I came from a time of Dupont Rain Dance, loved the stuff, lasted forever.
Then onto NuFinish, great product but like a lot of waxes, messes up the black plastic.
I liked the idea of the spray stuff because you could cover everything with it, plastics, glass, anything. But it does create streaks on my metallic black vehicle. Ill try using less.
Anyway, with all the hassle I am going to try the Turtle Wax Paste or Liquid Ice and wax like I did with the other products above. Will get at least 6 months out of it and I can cover plastics and such.
Thing is, stuff is hard to find, only place you can buy the paste is Amazon and only place you can buy the liquid form is Advance Auto.
Im walking through auto stores and Walmart and shocked at the lack of polishes and waxes, I mean, like, nothing except the easy to use spray stuff.
Im kind of shocked, I guess, the new generation, throw away generation doesnt even bother waxing anymore. (except people in these types of forums)
Had this discussion with my wife and we drive around to stores looking for Turtle Wax Ice Paste wax, no one had it, not even Walmart, I mean we are talking about Turtle Wax!
Anyway, after thinking about it, waxing and taking care of cars has gone away. Mentioned to my wife now that I think about it, when was the last time we EVER saw anyone in our community waxing their car or working on their car? Ummm ... never! Decades ago, it was common.
Same goes for gardening, landscaping, really anything unrelated to the internet is now a pastime.

Unless TW has a new formulation of the their paste wax, it won't last very long. I used to use it a long time ago because it looked good, but the durability was terrible...have you thought about trying Collinite? It's easy to use, it can and should be applied to trim (it actually makes trim look like new), and it lasts a long time.
