Wax-What kind?
 

I have a 2007 CRV (Silver). A friend of mine recommended Eagle Nanowax.
However, it seems like the most popular waxes are made by Mcguiars. Any
opinions?

Thanks
Randy

I have used them both. My favorite used to be Zymol, but it is not as
easy to find locally. I just detailed my car last month only to have
some non-paying attention fool total it on the way back from the grocery
store! RIP 2007 Silver Honda Accord EX-L V6 6MT!

I also have a 1997 Civic, and the last time I used the Meguiars 3 step
kit on it, the dang thing looked brand new. I need to hit it with the
three step process again soon, but that is a LOT of wiping and buffing!

Naturally, if your paint isn't oxidized yet, you probably can get away
with just waxing it. When it starts to get bad, it is time to use the
Cleaner/Polish/Wax treatment and prepare to spend all day doing it!

You're supposed to do the 3-step thing just once. Thereafter you just
reapply the 3rd step -- the carnauba wax -- as required.

It's done wonders for the wife's car, which is red. Red is a terrible color
for fading.

Yeah, but I haven't waxed the poor Civic since 2005. With my wife dying
in January 2007, the fate of the poor Civic was in limbo, and just last
week it was titled back to me. It too is red, and the spoiler hardly
has any paint left on it. It only has 72,000 miles on it, so I am sure
I can squeeze some more life out of it!

Now that I have a Sport's Car, the Civic will be my daily driver/grocery
getter. This is especially the case since my 2007 special order Accord
was totaled on the return trip home from the grocery store. At least my
car died in the process of protecting me!

Thanks Brian. 2007 just hasn't been my year.

Things will improve, it just takes time.

Re: Wax-What kind?
 

My condolences on your loss as well.

Regarding the wax question, I have a '98 Accord EXV6 "Heather Mist Metallic"
123K miles on it. I have used Meguiars almost exclusively, and in spite of
it the parts of the roof, trunk, and now hood have faded to primer. I have
used the Paint restorer 2-3 time in the life of the car and the cleaner/wax
one a year otherwise regular wax. I'm wondering if the wax products
contributed to this problem, however I doubt it as the sides of the car are
pristine. Reminds me of the old silver card the GM used to make. I just did
not expect that from Honda.

I still use the Meguiars on my 2005 Lexus and it still looks showroom new.
