Default Car wax debate :)

Rejex zaino it goes back and forth. I was together with a few other vette guys and I recieved compliments on how great my car looked.
Well it has ....surprise......Mothers on it Mothers wax and then a mothers detailer for that extra punch. Smooth. shiney, durable and just good old wax. So where do I fit in lol Lets put it this way a vette is not that big of a car and well does not take long to wax it does it? I can wash blow it off and wax in about a hour or so. Then use the detailer between washings. No scratches no swirls no unwanted build up!

Plenty of good Wax/Polish on the market. Just use a few and continue to use what you like best. Just don't fall into the trap of using a product just because someone programmed it into you.

I think OHSIXX and others are just trying to tell you that eventually, this thread will probably get moved to the Car Care Section. Of course, some are more diplomatic than others.

Most of all of them on the market to day produce good results. I have had good luck on my last few cars with Zaino. Cant say that I've ever seen a rejexed car in person. Im sure it looks good too, but I have no reason to switch.

Agreed! It's all in the prep work.

Most waxes and sealants will have a very nice appearance. Just have to choose one based on the other attributes that fit *your* needs (durability, maintain-ability, etc.).

agree - the prep is most important - I had to learn that here.

also - what you put on top of the paint - it's a little bit like motor oil discussions. My opinion - you'll do great no matter what API-approved oil you use, as long as it's changed frequently. Your wax will do fine no matter what kind you use - some last longer than others, but if you wash and wax frequently (like every 3 weeks) then it doesn't matter what you use. Anything will look great on well prepped paint. I did GREAT for 10 years on my prior ride with Meguiars #6, later Meguiars #26. pretty much washed and waxed every 2 to 3 weeks.

A good synthetic sealant, however, can save you some hassle because it will last 6 months - allowing you to use that time in between for tidying up the interior, the glass, wheel wells, etc, --- rather than having to reapply wax every few weeks. Enjoy whatever you choose.

Try various products and see what YOU like best. I tried dozens of products for over 30 years before finding that to me Zaino was by far the best. It all depends on what you want from a product, shine, protection, durability, ease of use, easy to maintain, fairly economical, Zaino gives it all.

Like said above, the prep work is critical in acheiving the optimum results, regardless of the product you plan to use.
