Consumer reports wax winners are...

Black Magic liquied wax #1
Tutle wax liquid polish #2


I actually tried the Black Magic this weekend and it worked very well. Plus it was less than 10 bucks! They rated them on durability, ease of application, leaving swirls, etc.

Consumer Reports sucks *****. They didn't try Souveran, Tons of Zymol Waxes, Poorboy's Natty's Blue, Clearkote's Carnuba Moosewax, FK1 Pink Wax, Collinite, and the list goes on....those over the counter waxes suck; they only decent ones are Meguair's NXT, Goldclass, and Mother's Synwax really. Leaving swirls is all up to the person applying it to the car and the pad being used. Autopia.org my friends....

they're probably looking at more "normal" waxes for everyday cars.

I use the Maguires Tech Wax. That wax is off the chain! Very good stuff.

"wax on, wax off"

really that easy!
