1. There is no wax that will look/work well without the proper preperation (clay, polish, glaze)

2. With proper preperation, you can make $3 wax look like $40 wax.

3. Klasse is not a wax. It is an acrylic. Best stuff IMO. If you use their sealant over their AIO, the results are the slickest and shiniest.

4. Depends on what look you like. Carnubas give you great depth while sealants give you much more reflectivity (but can make it look like plastic). Synthetics try to give you the best of both worlds. Acrylics (Klasse) last months and abuse and can truley be layered.

For wax, my vote goes to Meguiars(Probably #16 even though its discontinued but #26 isnt bad and goes on and off real quick and easy)

For overall results, my vote goes for Klasse (truley amazing)

BTW...I do detail cars and I have used many different products, so I am not favoring a certain one because I have too.

The only waxes I have tried were the over the counter waxes and the Zaino product line.

It's pretty obvious to me that Zaino is superior compared to MOST store bought waxes.

But just like ZaneO always says, its all about how you prep your car and apply the wax.

Dude, your firewall is trying to tell you something!

I guess I'm gonna vote for Turtle Wax because it's all I've ever used.

There is no best wax. It all depends on the color of the car and what kind of results you are looking for.
