Hey Brian Whats up?
I purchased Lusso Oro from Phil and liked it allot. It was relatively inexpensive at $40. Currently I am looking at alternatives including chemical guys 50/50 and Svisswax Onyx just to try something different. I will let you know what I come up with.

I've heard nothing but great things from people using Swissvax. Also everyone has been praising Dodojuice Supernatural, $200. They sell samples for $30. Many people state its as good as Swissvax or better. Check out dodojuiceusa.com
Never used it myself though if you do some research at Autopia you can find some info on the Dodojuice. Also heard good things about there other waxes. On Autopia there is guys on there that have done major testing for various companys and are hardcore into detailing.
Personally my rule of thumb is I never spend over $30 on wax. Just to many good products out there to justify the cost for a do it yourselfer like myself. Now if someone was paying me I guess I could go higher. ClearKote Carnauba Moose Wax is one that some of pros over at Autopia swear by as being one of the best waxes on the market and it only cost $20.
So what have you tried so far???? When you mean long lasting, how long we talking about????

I have tried the Griot's Best in Show liquid wax and Caranuba wax. Their Caranuba wax rocks, but wear off very quickly. I just tried some Meguires Tech Wax 2.0 that I did not like at all. There are a handful of others that I can't remeber, but they were along the line of Turtle Wax and cheap Wal-Mart type waxes.
So far, I am the most happy with the Griot's products. The Caranuba stick they sell makes my car have a deep shine that is fantastic.
Maybe I am just overthinking things. Since I have got on this forum, the mod-bug has definitley bitten me hard and maybe I am taking that approach to my wax analysis.
I appreciate everybodies input.
Thanks

Brian,
I did get my rear defuser painted. You may also want to give Chemical guys Jetseal a shot. I use it after I polish as a sealant then apply a coat of carnuba wax after. I thinki I am going to order both the 50/50 and the swisswax and do a comparision. I will let you know the results. Talk to you soon

I am looking for 5 to 6 months, but I guess that is me just being lazy.

I don't think I'd go crazy if your just getting started. I'm sure you'll find a high quality looking wax for less then $30 that will put a smile on your face everytime you use it. I've found for us weekend guys that don't get paid to detail cars that spending much more then $30 is really just throwing money away in alot of cases. Difference is so minimal that spending an extra $100 usually isn't worth it for are daily drivers. Save your money for some mods.

Give the ClearKote Carnauba Moose Wax a try ($20). I think you'll be quite impressed. Last quite awhile also (4 to 6 months depending on climate and car care). P21S Concours ($30) gives a very wet look but doesn't last as long as others. How long really depends on climate your living in. But a good two to three months should be expected. I see your living in the midwest like myself and with the rain we seem to get every week or so I'm sure your like myself and wash your car pretty much once a week and maybe let it go for two weeks at the longest. So in many cases in are climate we usually wear/breakdown are waxes more quickly. Nicer months of the year I usually wax every 6 to 8 weeks. Good quality wax only takes about an extra 20 min. or so of your time and always makes it shine so much nicer.
