What car wax do you use?
« on: August 25, 2013, 07:22:56 pm »
Quite a lot about and not sure what one to opt for. There are these ones that simply get sprayed on or others that need to be actually waxed on. What ones are best and what ones do you use? Thanks

I use Colinite 476s  :happy2:

Lasts about 9months before it needs another coat. Water bubbles up really well and it's not difficult to apply .

I normally use Dodo juice Orange Crush which is excellent for the money but have recently had a coat of swissvax shield which is just sublime!

If you want a good long-lasting finish the collinite mentioned above is great stuff - used to get around 6 months decent beading and a nice shine on my old A4 cab which was driven daily and parked outside at all times.

I like the finish from Zymol Glasur on dark cars, but it does not last as long.

Never found a spray wax that is of much use, although I do use one as a quick detailer occasionally.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I like Scholl Rock wax. Behaves rather differently from other waxes in the sense that it sheets, rather than beads.

Durability is excellent I'd say, equalling Collinite and gives a finish to equal if not better Victoria Red Concours wax.

Not cheap at around £80 a pot but this should last you forever. Will be investing in a pot when my sample tin runs out....

Have often used Collinate 476 or p21s, but at the minute im not using a wax as such.

Im giving Carpro Hydro a go, so far pretty impressed.
