Which is the Best Car Wax to use?

[yves]

I am trying to determent which is the best car wax to use? As anyone has any experience with these two car waxes? The first one is 5 Star Shine and the other one is the Liquid Wax by Wicked Products. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

You are likely to get as many different answers as you do responses.  With the number of products out there it seems like everyone has their favorite.  Personally, I use plain old Meguiars stuff but I'm always willing to try something new.  I haven't heard of either one of the products you have mentioned.  This of course, doesn't answer your question but it may well end up that you have to try each of them to decide which one is really the right one for you.

I like the Meguiars Yellow #26 wax as a paste over the liquid.  I have found the liquid gets into cracks and door jambs to easily then it is a pain to clean up.

Wow! Nice car! 

Right now, I'm using Collinite's Fleetwax paste. This is basically pure carnauba wax. It goes on very thin, and almost "melts" across the surface as it flashes before you wipe it off. 3M's Show Car Wax Paste is about the same thing, Griot's Garage Carnauba Wax is also a very similar product. Your paint MUST be perfect, free from swirls or scratches. Save yourself an afternoon for this type of job. I also like to use this on chrome because it contains NO abrasives. Chrome is actually very soft & scratches easily. I will sometimes use 3M's Liquid Polish on paint before I apply the wax. It is a mild, white liquid polish.
For door jambs etc, I've been using Malco's Flash Wax liquid with Teflon. This goes on smooth, & comes off in literally one swipe with NO effort. It works good on chrome & metal trim also.

I'm not a big fan of Liquid Glass. It is more of a paint "sealant" than a wax. It also contains abrasives.
For my daily driver truck, a great wax I've discovered is Meguiar's Tech Wax. Great stuff!

I use Zaino Bros stuff like 1hot68 said....it will do nicely on that orange car you have there

That Malco stuff that Bill is referring to above is awesome on chrome bumpers

I just recieved my 3rd order in 4 years of Zaino wax products, I love them I wash and put on 3 coats of wax in the spring then I alternate the product for between waxing and the ultimate shine inhanser between shows.  I would recommend to anyone!

IMO.........the BEST wax is not to use a wax.........I use a product called First Finish made by the company Liquid Tech. You can't buy it in a store anywhere.  At the larger car shows there will be someone there selling the stuff.....or you can find someone on line who has it. Some will say it does miracles.........not sure about that, but it has amazed me.  If you ever get a chance to have this product demonstrated to you , as it should, you will try it........and be surprised by it.  I am not a dealer or connected to a dealer in any way , but , do recommend it to everyone.

I use Liquid Glass. I love it.

Me too. It's a phenomenal polish. I use typically use Maguires Professional  fine cut cleaner, then Liquid Glass and finish off with either Maguires Polymer Sealant or 3m's Perfect it show car wax. Another really good and easy to use wax is Jax Wax.
