Default What is your favorite wax?

Looking for a good wax to use on my cars. I have used nothing but Meguiars waxes to this point, NXT 2.0 tech wax is my favorite, but I need you guys and gals to tell me if I am missing out on something better. Thanks for the help.

Get mothers clay bar, it's top notch stuff. I bought it for the first time a couple months ago and it's amazing! Super smooth and looks great!

+1 Meguiars. I used their complete washing kit before I was deployed, it really cleaned and shined up the paint before I left for my deployment. Turtle wax Ice has a really nice car interior cleaner/detailer. It's dirt cheap too, it doesn't smell too bad and it comes with a microfibre cloth.

A second vote for Ice. I can do the whole car (on and off) in about 45 minutes. It doesn't leave any residue on the rubber and plastic parts.

I use the Meguiars NXT 2.0 and I love it. You can really see a diffrence when it rains there are little to no water spots and the dust is minimal. I say you are alrwady using a good product.
It goes on smooth and buffs out with minimal effort and last for a long time.

I used to dabble with a lot of different waxes, but as time moves on I find myself using NXT 2.0 more and more. While it isn't necessarily the most durable wax, it works well for the way I maintain my vehicles -- frequent details (every 3 months or so) on my daily drivers, and less frequent details (every 12 months or so) on my "garage queens". All things considered, it's an excellent all around product that is extremely easy to apply and remove........

Me three!
Turtle Wax Ice products.
I use all Ice products. From shampoo, clay bar, polish, and quick detailer except the tire shine. That thing slings like crazy all over the car.

I really don't care if people say it's not the best polish out there, but the time I save using them is priceless.

You be the judge...

I've used Zaino for years and love it. But this last year I've been using Ice and it's great. I'll probably stick with it. It really speads up the process. But like it was said earlier, prep is key. I clay once a year.
