When I was younger and richer, I had a coupla nice cars that I bought new. I saw fit (!) to play with premium waxes. I always ended up coming back to NuFinish. It's cheap, works very well (I've found nothing that outperforms that "glassy" feel at any price) and as easy to apply and polish as anything I've found.

Now if I could only find a product that'll keep my window trim from aging!

 

[QUOTE=Vash;1051567]Yeah i kinda agree with both Meguiar's and Nu Finish, they both last for about 2 weeks or so and still bead for me. [/QUOTE No wonder I don't bother waxing any car

 

I've always used plain old turtle wax. We have had cars for 15 years (Chryslers nonetheless!) that still had nice paint with just that. I don't see the need for super expensive wax as long as you are doing it regularly. If you aren't doing it so often maybe a more expensive wax is better but I'm not convinced as long as it's done often enough.

 

I see no reason to wax my car. I wash it at least once a week, it stays pretty clean.

Unless all these different types of waxes have a realistic UV ray protection, I see no reason to dump hundreds a year to keeping it shiny. My car SHINES when its really clean.

That said, I still manage to spend less then $20 a month keeping it clean

 

Hahahaha so glad I found this thread the day AFTER I bought TW Ice liquid wax. I'll wax it this coming weekend and see how it goes. I almost bought some wax that was "specially formulated" for white or light colored cars.
