CONSIDER the paint on your car.. if its metallic like mine, (Agean blue meallic) I found this wax to "mute" the flakes effects.I agree with this ^ Synthetic wax that has been excellent. Last for a couple months and that is even after multiple rain showers almost every other day down here in South Florida. Very easy to apply as well.
I reently got into detaling.. have quite a few waxes... if there is ONE thing you should buy... JUST ONE...its this..
P21S PaintWork Cleanser
Since we all have new cars with little contamination, this will strip sealants, wax without abrasives. PLUS, it pulls dirt from your clear coat and gives it a glass feel and clean paint to work with! I did it buy hand.. almost wipe on wipe off... but JUST BUY THIS and thank me later...
Now waxes.. I live in Buffalo, so before winter ill strip it (p21s) in the fall and apply 2 coats of FK1000 Hi temp paste wax... great on rims since it protects to 250degrees farenheit! plus it gives the car a candy, double shell bright crisp look , then a few days later wash car again, dry, and apply collonite 845, or 915 (more durable and INCRADIBLE shine. I just recieved Pinnacle SIgnature Series II and am unhappy as it cost 60 USD for 8 oz, where as collonite 915 in 25-35USD for 10-12 oz..?)
I PROMISE you with common sense and up keep thruout winter, it WILL be beading in spring still...
if you dont face that problem i still recommend those waxes.. FK1000 (which btw is founded by a former meguiars founder in 1948, he decided to go his own route..and its great!)
FK1000 is great all around, but use only twice a year and strip (no water beading!) before use.
COlloinite 845 great all around, VERY long lasting.
Collonite 915 more carnuba and is a bargain boutiqe wax!
FK Pink wax is a carnuba/synthetic wax (hybrid) and doesnt mute the flakes IMO such as megs ultimate
Pinacle SIgnatue Series II: unhappy with it, will try to replace or refund...
Dodo SUpernatural (NON-hybrid): great wax with a crisp clean look and really makes the flakes pop..I have to do a side by side and compare to collonite 915.
Here is a sample of what ive used..
