I'm looking for a wax to use on my 2003 BMW M5. It is Lemans blue (similar to pepsi blue). The paint is in over all good shape, a few spots are not good from body work that was done after an accident. I'm looking for something that is Wipe on Wipe off can be applied by machine.

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.
 
 
Ok, well here are some suggestions:

1. Wolfgang Fuzion. Easy on and off. Looks great, especially over WG Liquid Seal. You can buy it here.

2. P21S 100%. Another nice one. You can buy it here, some BMWs dealers sell it as well

3. Dodo Blue Velvet Pro: color charged wax for blue cars. I like it.
 
Once the paint is clayed and polished....

1. Collinite #845

I could throw out Fuzion mini size, Griot's wax stick and some others but the Collinite is the first wax to pop into my head (probably because its my current last hand applied product) but its a truely great product for not a lot of money!

Hope to see pics of the M when its all done but remember, prep is key!

This is a loaded question. There are going to be everyone's favorite list
and become quite confusing.

The question should be. Do I want durability? Do I want longevity? Gloss? Etc.
Ease of application?

You cannot go wrong with Duragloss and Collinite. Best bang for your buck.

You can pay more, and still not achieve these two products, etc.

:buffing:

If the paint on this 2003 LeMans Blue is a "metallic paint system"...
Then I'd personally go with a sealant rather than a wax.

The flakes would seem to "pop", instead of possibly being muted...to some degree...from a wax.
[Unless that wax was Meguiar's M26 (a hybrid-wax)...But I digress.]

A few Sealants of renown (IMO):
-Wolfgang DGPS
-Meguiar's 21 2.0
-The Klasse Twins
-Jeff Werkstatt
-Menzerna Power Lock
-Rejex
-Sonus Acrylic Glanz
-Duragloss #105 (w/#601 PBA)
-Optimum Opti-Seal; Optimum Car Wax (Hybrid)

(And what the dickens: Zaino has a couple of sealants, too)

Alright, perhaps I should have added a couple things.

1. I understand prep is what matters most, I clay, swirl remove, polish all before waxing.
2. I don't drive the car much, I'm the original owner and plan to keep it as a collectors car for ever. I put maybe 3000 miles on it a year.
3. It should be a durable wax with as long of life as possible so maybe 6 months? But given I don't drive it much and wash it once a month I don't see that being an issue.
4. Nice natural warm gloss.
5. I have used Klasse on it before and use that on my acura as that is the daily driver. But I don't like the "plastic wrap" feel I'm left with.
6. I just spent three days doing the m5 and I used Fuzion on it as i did the last time I did the car. I like it it's good, but I'm left with the feeling that there should be more to it. I don't have that gotta use it feeling I have with the interior products I use.
7. I've also used pinnacle products on it before and had a similar feeling.
