Best car wax

[daveenty]

If you're still looking for a wax for the white cab, try Dodo Juice Diamond White.

I used it on a white XF I had and it really brought the shine out. It's a hard wax and tends to last for ages as well, I've had this pot for a good few years, use it probably two coats three times per year and it's still half full. (Or half empty dependant on your view point)

If you're local to me (North Manchester) then you're more than welcome to try it out, but if not the clean your car website is offering trial sized pots at just over twenty quid for four.

I have tried some Orchard Autocare products, and had some really good results with them.

They seem to have a good setup, anything particular in their range stand out for you based on experience?

Zymol Concours, fab stuff, apply with fingers, skin feels great as well,
Cost £200 a tub now, just finished my first tub which lasted 5 years

Got Soft99 Fusso Coat on at the moment tin claims 12 months durability but will wait and see. Decent shine and water behaviour is exceptional

Got way too many waxes though and will probably keep chopping and changing when time allows

I gave the standard wax a go first, then moved up price wise to use their AG Wax specifically for metallic silver, brilliant results, friends thought the car had been resprayed. Also use the grime/tar removal revelation and used the bilberry wax treatment on the wheels after having them refurbished which saves time cleaning. Must have a look at the H2GO.

Bilberry gets a good write up. I'm hoping having thoroughly cleaned and sealed mine that will need nothing more than a blast of water and maybe some ph neutral shampoo.

My car is iridium silver so the AG may be a future purchase!

H2Go is good value but in my experience drops off within a week, I do 250-300 miles a week.. We had a frost the other morning but not on my car. That combined with cost means I'll probably always have a bottle in. May try GTechniq which is obviously meant to last way longer.

I suppose when you think the product lasts that long it's not actually bad value just a fair bit of outlay at the beginning!

Is this a Japanese wax? Think I've read about this previously...if you don't mind me asking where did you pick yours up from?

Switched to Angelwax products last year, great working with these products and turned out cheaper.

H2Go 1 week after application and nearly 300 miles. Water moves off the screen around 35-40mph so still need the wipers on around town. Can't remember what RainX was like in comparison but for the price, ease of application and how little you use I'm going to keep this in as a staple.

I've been using the Autoglym products now for just I've two years and I have just used the last of the HD wax, I've been happy with this wax but should I spend more of my hardcore earned money and get some Swissvax or equivalent.

As this kicks off at about £100 + then the pre wax cleaner has anyone got any experience in using it?
Is it really worth all the extra cash or should I stay with AG?

Snap! Always used AG & Megs but have been researching on DW about the different brands hi on carnauba like the Zymol Glasur.

Can I justify £100 a pot ? I need to see & talk to some of the OCD boys on there findings .
Mind you I am quite besotted with cleaning my car & have been know to wash it even when I know it's going to rain Lol!

I used Autoglym sealer then followed with 2 coats of Zymol glasur it produced a really deep wet look.

The Bonnet did really have that wet look Lee, I forgot to ask you what you had used!

Personally I prefer Collinite, because it lasts the longest from all the products that I've tried.

Some people say one wax "looks better" or "is shinier" or "looks wetter" than another. In my opinion it's just all in their heads.

(Just my opinion though so don't hurt me please)

Is there a knack to using Collinite? I tried it once on a cool but sunny day and it was very difficult to get of.

Unlike other waxes, it needs to be buffed off straight away after putting on.
Don't let it dry/cure.

I also found that spraying a bit of those "detailing spray" on the microfibre cloth makes it much easier.

On the plus side, you know why it lasts the longest - it doesn't come off!

Thanks for that…I let it sit for a while. Mistake.
Do you mean apply some detail spray when applying or buffing?

 

[wywywywy]

Sorry, when buffing.

By the way I can't tell the difference between 476 and 915. (I have both)

I also have the 845 which is easier to apply, but doesn't seem to last as long. Still longer than other waxes though.

Many thanks. I will give the Collinite 476 another go.

In general, the harder a wax is to buff off, the longer it lasts. Long lasting waxes are often called Hard Shell wax and normally contain a higher concentration of Carnuba wax, as that is what makes them longer lasting.

Yes it's a Japanese synthetic sealant. Got mine from a UK seller on EBay. They are out of stock at the moment but should have a load of fresh stuff arriving in the next few weeks. Sellers name is syncsourcing_uk.

Other sellers have it but most are from Russia and some people on Detailing World who've bought from there have said delivery takes around 12 days
