Ive all ways liked Mother but I will use just about anythng in a paste wax. Right now I have some Rain X thats pretty good. I clean my truck so often it doesnt matter. I work at a Dealership prep department at night so when its slow I clean my truck. And right now thats pretty often.

I don't actually use wax, but rather a poly coat type of product.

Here in Arizona wax is really pretty worthless as the exterior temps of a cars paint can get so hot that it actually melts the wax away in absolutely no time. The poly coat seals the paint and that is what you are looking for to protect your paint from oxidizing.

Never thought about that, but you're probably right!

bet it would really suck to see some sticky goo dripping off your car on a hot afternoon

Would that be 5 star shine?

I have never seen that. it just seems to disappear like it evaporates, it is just gone.

The stuff I have right now is Liquid Glass. The label says "contains no wax" and is a poly type coating.

I dont use wax either, i use a glaze type polish. it works like wax, but it isn't.it lets the paint breathe , and it is body shop safe, that's why i use it. it is called "SHINE MASTER" by www.wizardsproducts.com

I just started using Turtle Wax's Ice synthetic polish.:yes:

I used Turtle wax once years ago. The pin stripe fell off immediately after

I use "Ice" now...........No residue, nice shine, and really slippery.

After the restoration work was finished on my sons 72 Dart Swinger, I used the Meguiars "Smooth Surface Clay Kit" on it and it left a BEAUTIFUL, smooth and shiny surface that made the sheet metal surfaces feel like glass. The clay and Quick Detail Spay took ALL of the contaminants off of the surfaces, which give the paint a "rough" feel. It is amazing stuff and I am going to also use it on my 66 Coronet and my 99 Ram 1500 Sport.

The kit includes everything you need except their car wash solution to clean and wax your car, but I followed up with a couple of coats of their #26 Hi-Tech Yellow Carnauba and then used their High Gloss Tire Endurance Tire Dressing. The car looks absolutely AWESOME in my humble opinion. Pictures just don't show how clean and smooth these products left the Dart's sheet metal :grin:

I like using the Meguiars detailer to clean the surface with a quick wipe down. If I think it needs more than that, I'll go do some 3M Perfect-It 3000 polising glaze with a white foam pad on a variable speed buffer at about 1400 RPM's, then top it off with some Gold Glass liquid wax.
I try to avoid putting water on them when I don't have to.

I use "Dry Wash" almost every weekend, then a good scrubbing with "Turtle Wax" once a year. My car is indoors, and hasn't been wet for about 5 years.
