Yup, you're far from the first person to ask for advice, try reviewing older topics (see the "show topics from last XXX days below).

It gives the car/truck a yellow tint and only lasts about a month. Go get a nice synthetic clear wax. No color change and it'll last a good 6 months. Zaino is good. Liquid Glass is good... several others out there.

Um, carnauba wax is NOT bee wax, it comes from a plant. Check out www.collinite.com for some hard-core wax. Brent

BrentYou're right. My mistake. Either way, it doesn't last. Meguiars might look good..but it's gone in about a month.

I know commercial paint supply stores stock Meguires #26 for wax and Meguires #00 for a deep wash. I've talked to an auto painter and he loves it.
I've used it and I'm not looking to change products from Meguires ever.

Used em all, can't beat Griot's Best Of Show.
Carnuba is boss, don't listen to NetJunkie.
Edit to add Meguiars soap is the best. Cleans great and doesn't remove the wax. Use Dawn to remove everything before a good clay, polish, and wax job.

I have had the best results with DURAGLOSS car wash, and polish. Made by a local company in burlington,NC. Vehicle always has the wet look.Duragloss makes a full line of car care products, check out their site. [B] https://www.duragloss.com . The glass water spot remover is the best. Nothing wrong with Meguires either.

mother's brands for me, with multiple step waxing including cleaner, sealer, wax then protection it's always been my favorite, especially in multiple layers for that added close quarters off-road tree protection.

Ok,
But what do you guys use to put the wax on the truck? I bought some yellow cotton towels recently. (The package said they were great for waxing. yeah right), I began to wipe them on my truck and all these little yellow fibers began to stick to the truck. I immediatly stopped and now I need to buy something different. What should I get to put the wax on?
thanks, Ben E Gas

Ben - The foam applicator pads such as the items sold by meguiars are excellent for waxing. http://www.meguiars.com/product_showroom/showproducts_template.cfm?SrcLine=CT Use 100% (USA made) cotton towels to remove the wax. Labeling of furrin towels is not reliable. Wash new towels first. Do not use fabric softener. Remove the label and trim off the edge stiching - they be made of synthetic thread and that can scratch your paint. dave and xtoy - the shine is under the dirt

dave and xtoy - the shine is under the dirt Dave is right, as usual! The towels Griot has are 100%, even the stitching is cotton. http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?L1=L1_1000&L2=L2_1001&SKU=14600 These are the applicator Pads you want: http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?L1=L1_1000&L2=L2_1005&SKU=11212 Griot's isn't brand loyal! He scours the world to find the best stuff, then puts his name on it, or resells it if someone else makes it.
