I love cleaning my cars, so thought i'd put a list together of what waxes and sealants i use regularly. This list is purely for waxes and sealants. I won't go into all the other products i use. I live in Florida where temps and humidity are high, and my cars are black, so this does change things a little ! At the end of the day they all do the same thing, some look very slightly better than others for a DAY ! cos a black car gets dirt and dust pretty damn quick, but there's a lot of BS out there and really use whatever makes you all warm and fuzzy. My paintwork is always properly prepared, and clay bar'd as needed. Anyway moving onto my list.... Please list yours and what you like / don't like....
Finish Kare White Shark High Temp - For me, the easiest to apply, leaves zero streaking on black paintwork, feels like its protecting the best. Probably at the top of the list, but there's a couple of other close seconds. Don't like you can't get it on rubber / plastics so need to be a little careful when applying. Could be a big con considering some of the competition these days.
Meguiars Ultimate Wax - Good enough. Not a huge fan.
Collinite 915 - Probably great on anything but a black car, but on a black car i feel it leaves some streaking, and feels like more work to get off completely. So don't use too often.
Collinite 845 - Was my previous favorite, however now i have black paint on both my cars, it does take a little more work to get off than White Shark and you got to be careful applying to not get on plastics / rubber. Lasts forever.
Meguiars Paint Protect 365 - Oily and hard to work with. leaves a lot of streaking. But still try and use once a yr.
P & S Beadmaker - Slick and car looks great, but feel its overrated, i look at this more of a equiv to D156 than a replacement for a proper sealant. Like its easy to apply. But overall its expensive at $3 per application.
Ice Paste wax - Great wax, nothing bad to say. It's just there !
Ice Liquid Wax - Really loved this when it first came out, but don't use much these days. Too many better options. Still like you can apply to everything and not worry.
Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax - Wow !! i use it differently. as in soak a MF pad, then spray onto the pad, and spray up the car with distilled water, wipe on the milky substance then buff off to dry. Car really shines. Love i can apply to all exterior parts and not worry. Swear the car looked to have a deeper black. But again, it could be those warm and fuzzy feelings playing tricks on me !
Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish - Not used yet, but heard great things about it. Will try out this weekend !
So list yours up fellas !
