What Kind of Wax do you use?

**KarenCaren** · 04-02-2008, 02:29 PM

I'm using that Adam's Polishes. I think that is the best wax to use.

You can buy 8 micro fiber towels at wal-mart for 3.99

Yeppers!

Adams is also good. I have their QD, the Machine Wax, Spray Glaze, and a few other products...

Not enough info. Could you elaborate a little more?

**Chevyforever** · 04-03-2008, 09:37 AM

Zaino... I have used it for a number of years on many camaros and corvettes and have always been pleased with the results.

wax comes off rather quickly... Zaino stays on for a VERY long time...

3 months with Pinnacle.

5-6 months using RejeX (sealant, not wax) on cars that sit outside all the time.

Does Zaino last that long without any additions to the original coat? This means not using detail sprays or whatever.

I am not ripping on Zaino, but I will say it isn't the end all.
It is a good product, I just use other stuff.

I used to use those a while back but decided to try the Cobra microfibers since I was using exspensive wax,polish etc. and I am glad I switched. They are edgeless so they wont scratch and the way the material is made it makes taking wax or polish off a breeze. I still use the walmart microfibers for my wheels though. If you are going to use the wal mart MF's make sure you find the ones with a softer edge-they all kind of look the same but one kind actually has a softer edge.

If you can get the Cobra Microfibers from the geek, go for it. They're real good towels
I've bought some white MF from Walmart also. I can't remember the brand name. Very nice and soft
Also, if you want to shop around locally, get the Vroom towels at target; not bad...

I've seen/ used the Vroom ones at Target and can't see the hype................(spelling)????..............

Walmart ones just as good.... Maybe better.

I've been using the Vroom MF's way before I've heard of them on the internet
They're way better than what you can find at autopart stores. They're not the best... however, they're pretty decent at removing waxes, polishes and stuff like that. They're also durable if you take good care of them
Again, they're not what I would consider "premium" towels by any means, but they're pretty handy to have when you need one...

Goose I tried Maguires scratch x and it took some of the swirls out do I have to have a buffer to get them out?

**Z ROADSTER** · 04-15-2008, 07:34 PM

My pewter Z likes Dupont wax believe it or not , & if you will come back with Armor-all wax protective spray it will make your paint look like it just got another coat of clear-cote . Only thing is Armor-All quit makin the polish & I'm down to my last bottle . Oh yeah , and the stuff smells good enough to drink .
