My favorite is Chemical Guys 50/50.

Remember.... Clay first, Polish second, Wax third.

Waxes are old technology. Go cutting edge. Get Zaino-it's expensive but worth it.

How much you willing to spend??

I use Wolfgang polishes, Pinnacle Souveran wax, and a couple other glazes....none of which are cheap.

yeah it all goes by how much you're willing to spend, if you want the best wax out of the regular brands, i suggest just going and getting meguiar's or 3m, because they've been around and they don't contain silicone.

that may be true, i'm just goin by what my uncle told me... He paints cars and is pretty good at what he does. He says meguiars and 3M don't put silicone in their products, and he's been workin with car paint for 40 years. I'd just check the bottle or something, i'm guessin it might not matter all that much either way

Hell yeah! I'm a big fan of Wolfgang productst myself

Those products are a lot more expensive, but you can get them in package deals if you go to the right websites. To the OP, the best thing is to try different products, see which one you like best!

In my opinion, the best bang for the buck right now hands down is Tropi-care.

Fantastic products that compare equally with products costing two and three times more, combined with some of the best customer service in the business.

When you can get your corrections to this stage by buffing and polishing out blemishes as one part of your detail process, the last step protection products comes down to to personal choice. Some are looking at factors for durability, reflective gloss, and slickness while others may do optional liquid or paste wax over a sealants for increased depth on darker colors for example.

The choices and combinations are unending. You can choose from a wide variety number of products. When you find the combination that's right for you, use it correctly according to the manufacturer's instructions and regularly to provide constant protection.
