What color is your vehicle? What type of look do you like (Wet, deep, reflective etc)? It all comes down to personal preference, budget, time you want to spend and so on. Also, are you looking for a pure wax? Sealant? Polish?

Then you may want to use a sealant topped with a Carnauba. A good one step product is Poorboys Polish with Carnauba. If you want to go for the gusto Try Klasse topped with S100 (P21S).

corner of walk and don't walk
in my opinion (and I think a few others would agree also) Megs #16 is the best, hands down.
but for black & red, I like Souveran (just something about it)
the longest lasting wax has to be Collinite Super Double Coat (great for those long winters)
and for slickness (and bead factor) I like The Wax Shops Super Glaze

Guys i want to know what is the best wax to use not for the money just the best hands down wax to use.


it is a very subjective question. There is not a Best wax. because remember thay all perform according to the color and condition your car is in. :idea: a white car compared to a black or red car needs a diffrent polish/wax combination for optimum results.


But: my personal fav is currently the Clearkote CMW.

What's the best car

What's the best beer?

Who is the best Smurf?

They are all subjective questions that can vary based on color, longevity, ease of acquisitions, price, ease of use, etc. As previously mentioned, the answer depends on what you are looking to do.

Zymol cleaner wax.

I have a black Cobra and use Zymol cleaner wax and it work great. The only problem with it is it's very dusty when taking it off. Anyone else use Zymol and your thoughts.

That Zymol cleaner wax is not very good. I used to use Meg's Gold Class and sometimes the Zymold Cleaner Wax that I got as a stocking stuffer. They both stain black plastic trim and neither does a good job of hiding spiderwebs or creating a great shine.

Try Pinnacle Souveran on black or any straight carnuba wax with no cleaners after cleaning the paint with something like Clear Kote Vanilla Moose Hand Glaze. Even Clear Kote Moose Wax is better because it doesn't stain your trim. I made the switch a few months back and will never use Zymol or Meg's over the counter products again. The difference is not subtle.

Now, durability is a different issue. I think only Zaino and some other sealants have that long lasting durable finish. The carnubas have to be reapplied once a month or so, but look sweet.
