You know if you were to ask 6 different people what kind of wax they use you would more than likely get 6 different answers. Find what yo like and try it.

My Poison is Adams Products. Very happy with them.

I've read what everybody has said,and I think you pretty much get what you pay for with all of them.Over the years I've tried just about everything and in their own way they all did pretty well.Different ones worked better on different paints or had a little different shine. Alot of it is the quality,and or,the condition of your paint,and the amount of time and effort you put into it.I just had my car painted with PPG paint and clears. I was wondering does PPG recomend any particular brand of polishes and waxes?

It is best to try to stay away from the moldings. But if it is grey there is a product that Adams Products makes called in and out spray. It will renew those grey molding and make them look brand new. I swear by the stuff.

Does that stuff wear away and the grey returns?
I mean Ive used armorall, zainos shine stuff, and others. It works for a little while, but then it all comes back.

I have heard an eraser works, but never tried.

You wanna know what works? It's cheap and relatively easy...

Spray the effected area with an all purpose cleaner and brush it with a hard bristled toothbrush.

Works wonders!

To be perfectly honest with you I do not know. I do not really have that gray on my car so I do not know. But it won't hurt to try it.
