Rav4 and Highlander, what wax to to use on darker colors?

05 Highlander - Bluestone metallic
08 Rav4 - Flint Mica Grey

I wanted to know what wax works out the best in regards to the wax wiping off easily without leaving streaks/swirls marks.

I tried using Black Magic liquid wax, but I noticed after I wiped it off using a microfiber towel I could see the marks of where I wiped the wax off all over.

thanks in advance.

You do need to be sure it's "ready" to wipe off -- not too soon or too late.

I'd be sure to clay if you haven't already.

I like FX SynWax for ease of use, wipes off clean pretty much no matter how long you wait, and it's easy to use in the sun.

If you like to wax by hand I'd suggest our Buttery Wax. It's a very deep shine with months of protectant. It can be applied fully in the sun or in the shade - makes no difference.

If you like machine waxing we have Machine Super Wax with the benefits mentioned above but lasts longer and provides an even deeper shine.

Take a look at our video section for more info including a complete how to!

Make sure you use a quality microfiber towel to wipe it off too and don't use the "whatever is on sale" brand.
