Good wax to use??

Anybody recommend a good wax to use? Currently I am using Meguiar's Gold Class or Collinite, but I wanted to see what others think. Also, thinking of trying Zaino. Thanks all.

I'm using Mequire's Nxt tech wax. Pretty simple apply, let dry, and rub off no muscle need it.

I usually use Meguiar's 3-step wax system... takes me about 5-6 hours to do, and I'm a sweaty mess at the end, but it's all worth it.

I use the Eagle One nanowax, and it does work well.

Honestly, whenever I used wax paste after using the Eagle One nanowax/wash, I never notice a difference in looks, just the way water beads off the paint.

Sacman,

You are already using Collinite (I like their 476S paste or 845 liquid) which is a good wax (and cheap to buy at Harbor Freight). You can also try some of the boutique waxes from the net. These would include Pinnacle, Wolfgang, Surf City, Four Star, Poor Boys, etc. carnuba waxes.

If you like sealants, the new Wolfgang 3.0 DGPS, Surf City, Four Star and Klasse AIO would be among my choices. To get a VERY nice look, apply a sealant, let it cure and then top with a good carnuba wax.

Personal favorites? Wolfgang DGPS sealant as a base with Poor Boys Natty Blue carnuba wax top coat on a black or red car. Collinite 845 for the rest. I have heard some very good reports on the new Wolfgang Fusion wax but I refuse to pay that much for a can of wax.

The sealants with give you a "brighter" and shiny finish, the carnuba wax will give you a "warmer" finish. try both and see which you like.

Eagle One Nano is the easiest spray on wax you can use and it seems to last. Just make sure the surface is clean and dry.

Thanks everyone for the quick responses! I have never used a sealant before, but I might give it a try.
