Wax

I know theres probably been 1000 threads on this, but Im sure people have upgraded, or changed their mind... youll see what Im talking about in a minute.

I plan on waxing my car next weekend, granted its nice out. I have a couple different types of wax: Rain-x and Turtle somthing or other... I just want to know what kinds of wax you guys use, and which gives you the best results. I may just pick up a new bottle of wax for this year.

From what Ive read, Zaino, Meguiars, and Mothers all have great products.... Let the recommendations begin.

I put some Nufinsh on last year. I don't know if you'd call it a wax but it worked good, really brought out the color and water beaded off it all summer. Although I do use the the car wash wax all the time too.

Meguires gold class liquid here.

as far as beading, you don't want it to bead, you want it to run off in streaks.

Zaino is definitely the best as far as quality goes but its expensive. I use Meguires Gold Class Paste, stays on forever.

Talking

But after it runs off in a streak, it leaves a bead.

Do you use that Mr. Clean stuff? Or rig up your own water filtration system? I'm assuming that's the trick.

I forgot what you said before... You use this to wash it, or apply it after wash, or after wax... Please share your process again .. Sorry, I dont remember where you had it before.
