Wax?

I've never wax a car vehicle... what products do you recommend? and what is the waxing procedure?

Is waxing even more important when you like a state known for their snowy winters?

Hey PM buddy! Of the little I know about cars, this one I'm sure of: P21S Wax. I just bought a new one here (bought it from them before and as always they were super friendly and quick):
http://www.autogeek.net/p2concarwax.html

It might be a little expensive relative to the ones you see in Autozone but it is DEFINITELY worth it!

In fact, I just discussed it here: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=256903

P21S is definetly a really good wax. Be sure to clay bar before you wax, just do a little search.

If you're daily driving your vehicle in the elements I would stay away from carnuba waxes as they just don't last long enough, especially if you don't garage the car and it rains a lot (which is now the season coming).

Scary thing is, it's not a typo >_<

Zymol's Royale Glaze costs 7k on Amazon, it's amazing.

Back on topic though, waxing the car is very important. Just make sure you do it right, and claybar before you wax.

is that wax made by God himself? Hmmm....down payment on a car?...or wax? Talk about hard decision

I've used Meguires products...not the best in the world, but it gets the job done. And like you said for the rain, the next day, you'll notice the rain beads on your car...go about 1-2MPH and hits teh brakes hard...ta da, nice and shiney again

Every week? Please tell me that you strip the existing wax before you put a new coat on? Every week is a little excessive, especially with that wax. Every 2 months should be just fine with neutral ph soap hand car washes in between.
