Meguiar's or Mother's?

[EvoFire]

Like the title says.

I've just finished my bottle of Meguiar's Gold Class wax and contemplating whether to switch. No Zaino's please, too expensive for me.

I've tried claybars from both and I honestly didn't see a difference.

Oh right, and what tireshine? I've just been buying whatever is cheapest for tireshine.

I think the best "over the counter" wax is Meguiar's NXT. As for tire dressings, I look for ones that don't "fly off" which are usually a little more expensive.

I like mothers wax but they're both good. I want to try Mother's Techwax I think they call it?

What exactly are you looking for? If you want a pure wax, Mother's pure carnauba wax or Meguiars #26 Hi-tech yellow wax are the best waxes you'll find in stores.

NXT and Gold Class are ok, but they are not pure waxes like the ones I listed above.

Not looking for pure wax, but rather something that's easy to use and a generally good quality.

Meguiar's NXT for sure.

i just picked up some meguiars nxt since i dont have a buffer anymore and it was easy to use and came out nicely.

Klasse AIO and SG.

Easy to use, lasts long, good shine, but somewhat expensive. Technically not a wax though.

I detailed cars for 8 years, and Mcguiar's is the best bang for the buck. Truly a great product.

Use the three step system:

1) Paint cleaner (work in well)

2) Polish (work in well)

3) Wax Every 2-3 months


For a quick job, cleaner wax does well. It will remove alot of surface debris and minor surface scratches, but since there are cleaning agents in cleaner wax, the protective wax does not last long. Maybe a month. Its conveinient to use since it goes on and comes off easy. But you may choose to follow up a cleaner wax with a good carnuba wax #26.

Just FYI!
