Thumbs up

My work car sits out 24/7 and has to stay waxed to keep acid rain off the finish!! I do like the show room deep shine of 100% Carnauba wax's, but they don't last maybe three months and has to be waxed again.

For my work business car that sits out 24/7 I think I should get a synthetic wax that will last longer for the outside elements, what do you guys thinks about the synthetic wax's, and which one do you recommend, are there any on todays market that will give a deep long lasting shine that will last for six months to a year?

Please tell me what you know about the ones I listed below:


1. Klasse

2. Mequire NXT?

3. Turtle Wax ICE wax polish?

4. Wolfgang?

5. Zanio?

6. ...Any others not listed, that you recommend?



Thanks in advance e60 forum!!

For lite colors you can't beat NXT, I use it and it performs ! and it's easy to apply and buff !!

I'd go for Autoglym Super Resin Polish and Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection combo, but I'm not sure if you can get them there...?

I also use Menzerna Full Molecular Jacket - FMJ.

Also consider OPTI-SEAL.

Klasse and Wolfgang will by far last the longest out of your list.

Megs. NXT you'll be lucky to get more then 2 months.


I'd also recommend Opti Seal.

Put down one of your sealants and then top it with Collinite 476. You'll get a stunning look and it will last a very long time. Collinite 476 will also hold up through quite a few quick gas station car washes. In between use something like Eagle dry as you wax product or Megs. Quick Wax after every other wash. This combo should get you a solid six months of protection with nothing to worry about.

==============

They are so many Wolfgang products to choose from, and I hear NOTHING but good things about Wolfgang 3.0 synthetic car waxes lasting eight months to a year!! But do the synthetic waxes leave streaks, and hard to use? Or Easy like regular carnauba waxes?

Which one of the Wolfgang 3.0 synthetics should I purchase, and where is the best price online to buy it also?

Thanks in Advance!!

Thanks e60 forum for your time, and your wax recommendations, and I went with the Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant 3.0.

Good choice Eddie! Be sure to post a summary of your experience with these products and some pics.

I have not used either of those products but would like to know what you think. I am currently using zymol on my ti-silver!
