best wax?q
 
I don't know if this was covered before, but what is the consensus of the
best wax for a Honda? I have a new Element EXP in Nighthawk black.
Anyone try that IceWax by Turtle?
Thanks,
Chas

Any wax that keeps the water and salt off of the metal and paint is fine.

I am skeptical of IceWax because it is so thin. I am not convinced it will
work well without very regular application. BUT, my father-in-law uses it
on his Jeep and loves it... It is certainly less work than a conventional
wax...

I have been using MacGuires, but most of the pastes are pretty much the
same.

If you want the BEST, highest GLOSS, get Zaino Bros. But it's expensive and
a multi-step process, but the results are incredible.
http://www.zainostore.com/


I only used this on a BLACK car because it was such a bitch to wax. For my
lighter color cars, I just use Meguiars Gold Class liquid or paste.

Thanks guys, but I already like and use Zaino, just wanted something easier!
I guess you get what your elbow pays for...

I have been using MALM'S wax for about 15 years. Pure carnuaba. Easy on/off
liquid. Works great. My 4 year old Explorer (garage kept, I admit) looks
like it did on the showroom.

I have no connection to Malm's other than being a satisfied customer.
