Best liquid wax

Yea I've used 845 and love it . A little goes a long way, works on trim and is long lasting and cheap.
 
Go ahead with Collinite 845, It's not hard to remove.

Why are members worried about defending the sponsors? The moderators are for enforcing the forum rules - why not let them do it?
Let he who is without sin cast the stones. Besides, the moderators best know the rules and we wouldn't want to squelch any ideas on the website. This is how we all learn.

I've read two threads tonight and both of them had members trying to police the forum. I'd rather read about detailing products and let the moderators moderate. me $.02

Im trying to find a liquid wax option that yields fair results. I feel that people who do not want to pay for a clay job on the vehicle waste my time and product if I use anything better than liquid wax. This type of person just wants quick shine on the cheap. So any tips on the best liquid wax for the money would be appreciated. I would dedicate a wax pad for the polisher to this job so I do not have to worry about any contaminates getting in my good wax jar from these beaters.

HD Poxy, great looks, reasonable durability, good value and a little goes a long way.

3D HD Poxy - Montan Wax & Sealant

Plus if you have a customer who wants an upgrade you can use HD Speed and top it with poxy, it's a great combo!

I find spray wax as a cheap detailers way of doing it. I want to try and keep my integrity lol. I thought of using collinite 845 but have heard it's tough to remove compared to others. Im tryg to find something I can spread via machine then come right back and wipe off. I like the idea of not spending much time waxing this particular type of customers vehicle since they have no appreciation for true detailing

Just use HD Speed. I have an entry level clean up package that I market and while I do include nanoskin cleaning the paint, it doesn't involve a "polish" step but rather just a deep clean and seal. I apply it with a buffer and an orange pad just like I normally would with the difference being I use it to clean and seal vs making multiple passes to correct. If I'm feeling generous I can spend an extra 10 minutes and top that with collinite 476 or 845 or Even Ultima's Paint Protection + spray.

I felt the same way as you but after a good amount of participating and seeing others here, I like the idea of holding each other accountable. Way better to address your peer vs having a higher up having to come down on them.

maybe u could use a fallout cleaner or the new griots clay polishing pad to bring the cost down. try a miguiars liquid wax for cheap
 
For a job like this you need a wax with a cleaner in it. Although Collinite 845 is great it doesent have any cleaners in it . My next choice would be Duragloss 501, it has strong cleaners in it and would make the paint look great .

Sounds to me that you require a Cleaner Wax instead of a dedicated wax. Meguiars A1216 Liquid Cleaner Wax fits your requirement.
 
Maybe consider adding decontamination to any package that involves applying some type of protection, or polishing to the paint.

My "Option 1" includes:
Comprehensive wash, paint decontamination, "polishing wax".

For that option, I use Meguiar's M66, or Duragloss 501.
 
Have you considered using Optimum Car Wax and a claying towel so you can clay and wax the car at the same time?
