Default What Wax do You Guys Use For Your Cars.?.?.?

I was just interested in what the Club Lexus members were using on their cars. Persoally I used to use Turtle Wax but then I heard about a product made by Turtle Wax called ZYMOL. I use a 10" rotary buffer that I bought for $30.00.The wax is simply amazing. After your done waxing it you put a light coat of water and dry it down again with a microfiber cloth, which really bring out the shine of your car. I have Graphite Grey Pearl, and it really makes her sparkle. What type of car wax do you guys use on your cars???

Sheehan, we have a dedicated detailing forum with loads of product discussion. I'm moving your post there to that section.

I'd suggest you post up about what some of your goals are (show car shine, durability because it sits outside, ease of application and removal, hiding swirls, etc)

dont get that turtle wax "zymol" confused with the actual zymol company. it was a type of collaboration but no way is it near the quality of the other actual zymol products. hence the price differences.

3M Performance Finish does the trick for me but I dont see many people using it.

Thoughts anyone on this product as compared to others?

Default Here is the poll

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/aut...e-and-why.html

The largest segment of Club Lexus respondents (53%) seem to prefer Meguiar's products.

I use Meguiar's NXT 2.0 and weekly top it with Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Wax. This UQW maintenance product takes about 5-10 minutes to apply after I wash and it keeps the paint super-slick and almost self cleaning. No worry about getting it on glass, black plastic or rubber parts either. It's a WOWO, (Wipe-On, Wipe-Off) product so it is super easy.

Haha, that list needs to be updated badly

Currently I have Swissvax Concorso on the Bamboo Pearl RX330 and Dodo Juice Supernatural 2.0 on my Beige ES
