best car wax

whats the best wax in your opinion? iv been using meguiars nxt gen 2.0 tech wax which in my opinion is great it helped my faded 87 iroc alot and dam my mint 02 patriot blue durango has the reflection of new glossy black paint even when she's only dark blue. even the silver trim on the durango has a bright shine and a nice reflection for a light color even without much buffing. but what wax do you like?

Re: best car wax

I use Prima Epic currently, but have used the Zaino brand with great results also, just cost more and a little harder to apply, but worth it.

Re: best car wax

Zymol, or I've even had really good luck with Nu Finish, you know, that stuff in the orange bottle. Can't really go wrong with Zymol though.

Re: best car wax

I use "The Worlds Best Wax" this stuff goes on like butter and it even comes off the same way after it hazes...a little pricy at $200.00 for the kit but man it works real nice and the car looks like a million bucks after it's all done!

3:73 gears are exceklent for highway and city...so yeah put them in, you will be definitly liking them...4:11-4:10's are way to low for the highway, you'll be revving out at 3500-4000 rpm @ 60 mph.

ok so if i put those gears in after a high performance 350 swap about what would the mph's be limited to. o ya ur camaro looks great. i'll get a couple pics of mine up. dam mine's gone from faded light blue no reflection paint to in a couple months very shiny, like new, great reflection, original looking medium blue paint. hell it looks better then this supra and a couple bmw's up my street.my durango and the camaro are ya the shinest things in town

also your probaly laugh but do they make something that lets you switch from diffrent gears at just a turn of a switch. would love to have like 2.73 gears and 4.11 gears to switch back n forth from

Re: best car wax

ZYMOL, hopefully I spelled that right....is the best performing wax I've ever used...and it's made from all natural items....you can actually eat it....NO I HAVE NOT...LOL.
But a lot depends on your paint....my finish has great results with that wax, but my truck likes mothers.
