I think Jaguar gives you a bottle of Jaguar wax that's like $85 bucks or something. Buying a $50K+ car, they should be giving lots of things.

Turtle Wax?
That's what I use.

Anyone used Mother's wax?

 

[vaBooM]

I hear good things about Mothers.... the expensive stuff tho.

Zymol is always in my bag-o-goodies

S100 Motercyle Wax(exact same thing as PS100 car wax, just $10 cheaper) available at any harley store, Dallas Auto show was the only wax to get a score of a 10....anything with Carnuba is going to be cood enough

 

[wahyinghung]

So is Armor All crap ??????? or okie cuz they seem to be a bit cheaper than the other products listed?

 

[Nuvada]

armor all is alright, they do make a few carnuba waxes, that's going to be the main thing you want to look for, it's going to be your best defense from sun damage aside from garage and/or car cover

McGuire's

Best stuff I've ever encountered is McGuire's.

yup Gold Class Meguiars... good shit!

 

[6_funk]

i heard Mequiars Deep Crystal is good

 

[M3 Craz]

I went and bought a bottle of Zymol waterbased wax for 19CAD

that's expensive for a small bottle of wax but consider it did an excellent job, I am not coplaing....now my M3 is as smooth as a baby's rear

Zaino brothers wax is excellent. www.zainostore.com. Zaino is a little on the pricy side at $50 for the basic necessities, but well worth it.

darcspeed posted an excellent link above.

I have both Mothers and Mcquires in my Garage. Hands down (IMO), the Mothers product is far superior. I found Mcguires difficult to apply and very short lived - someone recommended that I go with McGuires at one point - never should have listened.
That being said, McQuires does make a very good swirl remover (McGuires #9) available at most trim/detail shops

 

[funkyfreshmonke]

yea al ot of my buddies use mothers ont heir show cars..

 

[comebacktomorrow]

what about the options that the dealer may offer you like envirosheild (and other such products)- are they any good?

our last Toyota (sold and went to a land cruiser) got pooped on and left a nice acid mark (we then got envirosheild and it was much more resistant).

Just wondering how they compare to waxes.

Im just really getting in to all this stuff (Im the one pushing for the MZ3) so Im learning lots of new stuff about car care and maintenance.

5 Star Shine looking interesting, but since the website was making it sound like the cure to all mankind’s woes I was some what sceptical, and rightly so!

On an unrelated note, Im very happy that mum wants a car with 'spoliers and stuff'.. lol. Gives me hope that I might get the SP23 (for us aussies) Yay!

I know that it is not good forum etiquitte to post a link to another forum, but this particular thread contains such a good FAQ, it would be a shame not to pass it on.

If the link doesn't work, look for the Car Wash forum from the main page.

Just put on the Mother's three step wax on the weekend. It's a lot of work, but worth the effort, the shine was great.

I took it out and it, of course, started hailing :twisted:

then snowing :twisted: :twisted:

but once the car dried off, it was still great

definately would recommend

I use Meguiar's on my 6, but I have heard that zaino is good stuff. Toughguard is highly recommended too. http://www.toughguard.com/new/index.html
