Default What kind of wax does everyone here use?

I'm using Liquid Glass with the Liquid Glass Pre-Cleaner right now and I'm, happy with it. Just curious what everyone here is using, expecially ones with Black cars.

My stang is black. I used the 3 step Maguires. I have been using NXT as the third product.

I've been using Zaino and have been happy with it, but I have been hearing good things about NXT, so I may go get some to try out soon.

That has been my experience. All depends on how much your drive and the weather. Seems like anything that shines really well, never lasts as long as something that does not seem to shine as well.

I have also used P215. Expensive, but awesome and NOT very durable.

OK, joke's over. White is very easy to make look good and very difficult to look excellent. Am I making any sense? The paint is simply NOT as deep as other colors with pigments. As a result, I think I would use as much carnuba as possible and prevent oxidation as much as possible.

This is true, My last car was white and as long as the car was clean it looked good, but it never looked great. Plus side of white, I wasn't touching up and fixing scratches every weekend. You see everything on a black car and it drives me nuts.

I use NXT. But my ride is Zinc Yellow. Also noticed that it depends on how much you drive the car and how much it is in the elements.

I use Mother's but I may switch. To be honest, my 89's paint is in rough shape. I could use candle wax and it would look nice.

I use NXT myself. I waxed the car this past weekend and it looks awesome. I also have a black car, and a clean black car is to die for.

Yea I use the NXT on my black car and it does make it look amazing. Any tips on how to use this stuff the best way possible, like what to apply it with and what to take it off with?

I use the pad that came with the NXT myself to apply it. Once it dries to a haze, I use a microfiber towel to buff it out with. The microfiber towel leaves no scatch marks and is really soft. You can even use it to dry your car as well. I apply in a side to side pattern, not in tight circles.
