Question What WAX is best?

There seems to be plenty of F150's, shined up and ready to go the the local auto show, on the forum.

I was wondering, if there is a consensus on the BEST WAX in today's modern world.

One that applies relatively easy, lasts long, produces the nicest result and doesn't leave the black trim, white.

I might add: Dissolves the bug juice.

I use Mcguires products. I love the quick detail spray. The color waxes are cool as well. I use Turtle wax for a hand wax. Good ole stuff.

It's subjective. Stay away from run of the mill "over the counter" wax products commonly found at Pepboys, Autozone or Canadian Tire for us in Canada. You don't have to spend a small ransom for wax but use something from a professional line of products.

If your paint is already jacked up you'll need to some paint correction detailing before considering wax. Even the best wax on the planet won't help you if you're paint is full of swirl marks etc.

I'm using the same wax as [MENTION=134559]Rnlcomp[/MENTION] Collinite #845 but I've also claybared and polished with other products prior to the Collinite in the picture below:

I'm in Canada so I get mine from www.eshine.ca but I'm sure there are lots of places in the US. Pretty sure it's on E-bay too. It's about $15+ a bottle.

That's like a "Ford vs. Chevy" debate. I liked the Jetseal 109 product a lot, but it was pretty expensive. The Collinite 845 product has a following here and its more reasonably priced. The Collinite 476 pastewax (reputed to be the same thing with less solvents) is handy for those of us who use a Dual Action Polisher to apply. Klasse has a fairly priced product that is durable. Duragloss makes super durable sealants at fair prices.

There are any number of good durable sealant/waxes, but most of them are more expensive.

I assume you don't mean "beauty waxes" which are low-tech, carnauba based and even more subjective in terms of their following.
