What kind of Wax do you use?

BobeRT- · 02-21-2006, 09:20 AM

I have had very good luck with the Meguiars Tech 9 wax, i used it on my '02 Wrx, and know on my STI and it is very nice wax. I have tried all other sorts, and this stuff seems the best. What kind of wax do all you other people use?

I worked in a Pep Boys for over a year, and tested em all. I still go back to Mothers Paste wax every time. I think they make a quality wax for the money

I've been using Megs NXT. Pretty happy with the results.....just wish it lasted a bit longer.

meguiars nxt

not really a wax, but i use rejex. check it out at rejexusa.com. it's a polymer that makes it hard for dirt, bugs etc to stick to your paint. works on brembos too to reduce brake dust accumulation. you use it instead of wax. gives a really deep shine too. also lasts a long time.

I use the Megs carnuba wax followed up by Megs NXT.

BluSTi · 02-21-2006, 10:11 AM

I use Zymol Japon. It's expensive, like $50 for 8 ounces, and you have to store it in the refridgerator, but it looks fantastic when its applied.

*edit* I just read that it's specially formulated for Japanese paint. Probably some marketing mumbo jumbo, but this stuff looks fantastic when its buffed up. I won't switch for anything less.

Mothers reflection....although zaino or klasse followed by pinnacle soveriegn is the best. I just dont have time for a 12 hour wax job.

FlyinbySTi · 02-21-2006, 10:22 AM

Megs NXT and Klasse. Sometimes toss a little megs #26 paste wax on for good mearuse.

Meguiars NXT on the body, WheelWax on the rims...

Stargazer · 02-21-2006, 10:32 AM

I tried Meguiars NXT for the first time on my STI a couple of weeks ago. In the past for other cars, I've used Eagle One NanoWax, Meguairs 3-step, and cheap Zymol.

I like Mequiars NXT the best because it's really quick to apply and remove and lasts way longer than the NanoWax (so far). With three young daughters, I just don't have time to spend an entire afternoon detailing the car.

I've thought about doing that. Do wheel cleaners like Meguiars Hot Rims remove the wax protecting the wheel?

My favorites:
Poorboys Nattys and Blue Nattys
Pinnavle Souveran
FK1 Pink Wax

I use Poorboys Wheel Sealent on my rims.
