What is the best wax to use on my GX 470?
I also have a Jeep C-J 5 , 1976 with 30,000
Miles that I bought new, I also want to use the
same in it.

Thanks!

The GX is a dark grey, I think it is called blue mica?
The CJ is beige. I don 't know what you mean single stage.
It is original!

I have used mcguiars gold class with great results. For my current gx and sc both of which are black, I use turtle wax. They have a colored wax specifically for black paint. Works great for hiding swirl marks and other imperfections.

For your jeep you could use the mcguiars product but if the paint is single stage ie: no clear coat there are better options available.

Again, I don't know what you mean by Single Stage. My Jeep is original and so is
the paint, also garage parked.
It is like a new 1976.

Older vehicles came with singe stage paint, color and clear in one. Newer vehicles have 2 stage paint, color then separate clear coat, you treat them differently when detailing so it's important to know what your'e working with before anyone can tell you what to use on it.
