  • Today we test 8 different waxes all marketed to have a superior shine. We first use a grease and wax remover, then apply the wax, buff the wax, spray them with water and see how they bead water. The results were very surprising to us. Koji Tip Jar koji.to/k/7T6m

    I start with a paste wax, but then I follow it up with 🐢 wax 'Ice' spray wax. This has always given my vehicles a deeper/wetter look when compared to using just one or the other.
    I paste wax twice a year, spray wax once a month.
    Meguiars gold class carnuba is my preferred paste.

  • @eastcoastroadrunner

    The most important observation is which lasts longer? I have purchased so many modern spray waxes but the paste wax still seems to last. About 4 months I use meguiars cleaner wax. 50 years old and somehow seems to still work the best as far as lasting the longest. That's weird to me so I do keep watching videos and keep trying new stuff.

    I have been a professional detailer for about 3 years now but really kicked it up a notch this past year and I also had to play around and test many product to find my best application and for wax applications, turtle wax high gloss spray mist has actually done a great job for me but I do switch it up sometimes I like new finish And the ones u tried, I use chemical guys occasionally but I think it’s has a lot to do with the age, condition and paint type of vehicle at the end of the day

    Consumer Reports rated New Finish as the wax with the best over all protection (it lasts the longest says CR) Although New Finish didn’t provide the best shine. I actually bought New Finish and think it’s ability to still bead up on my car nine months later is impressive. Especially being my car is parked outside year around in the Colorado climate.

    So, I’ve used many of the wax’s you have used here. Zymol being one of the best. Now I’ve also used for decades Klasse all in one polish cleaner. To me, it simply produces the best shine of anything I’ve ever used. It’s an acrylic product created back in the late 70’s when there was a shortage of carnuba wax in the world. It’s designed for aircraft to leave a super smooth surface. Again, a bit pricey but the results are amazing ($35 for a 16oz bottle). But you don’t need to use a lot to achieve great results. Only complaint: it does leave behind some dust if you let dry all the way: but you don’t have to. Simply apply as you have done here and then immediately wipe BAMM! Amazing shine.

    As a young man in the 80s I didn't have $ but I did have time and energy to spare. I waxed my car every week or 2 and enjoyed it for the most part. I used turtlewax paste, liquid and NuFinish. Now in my 50s I have a lil more $ and a lot less energy... I have no desire to wax and buff 12+ times a year. I applied a 2 yr ceramic sealant to my truck and will also use TW ceramic mist as a drying aid every couple of washes. My truck is super hydrophobic, candy like gloss and stays cleaner longer.

  • @aakar88
    @aakar88 Рік тому +5

    Appreciate the care you you took for a scientific method! The problem here is that the paint was in poor condition and the only wax that would work well would be the Meguiars cleaner wax, which also contains polishing agents.
    To judge the difference in quality of shine, expensive wax does create a better look as far as depth and how different styling ques pick up reflections. As with any wax, you can't "build a house without a foundation" the more important steps are proper preparation previous to wax such as buff, clay and polish. Also it is essential when finished with the wax the vehicle be sprayed with a detail spray to pick up excess left over from different steps ( I like to do this with every step)
    I have found Blackfire Black wax to do an excellent job on dark colors, albeit with proper preparation previous to wax

    I use to hand wax, I felt there was no way a spray could be more durable than a paste.
    Emailed Turtle Wax one day, they basically said most waxes these days are not true waxes. They are synthetic polymer sealants regardless of paste, liquid, or spray and it doesn't matter how you choose to apply it.
    Makes little difference if you apply they work equally as well, and are more a carrier used in order to spread the polymer sealant.
    Basically summarized it as spray is easier to apply for many people, and less time consuming. It actually made a lot of sense to me, and I've not used paste/liquid wax since.

    The best wax I've ever used is Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax. It goes on clear and wipes off with little to zero effort. The other thing is the shine is brilliant, and that's what I'm most interested in when I wax. I'm not really looking how I can NOT detail my car with longer lasting formula's or whatever based on longevity. The one drawback with Souveran is the price - $69 for 8 ounces. Latest product I've tried is Chemical Guys liquid Butter Wet Wax. It's a Carnuba creme wax and costs only $20 for 16 ounces. I also used a Mequiar's synthetic paste wax - no longer made - but its a little tougher to remove but has outstanding shine qualities as well. Next up for me is Mequiar's Ultimate Paste Wax - because I like the Mequiar's brand.

    I'd rather a pure carnuba wax that sheathes the water.
    .beaded droplets create thousands of prisms after its wet / rain which can create water spots .
    A sheathing wax will puddle up the water and let it roll off the car.

    I’ve tried several different kinds of wax from liquid spray to paste wax and I found all of them pretty much have the same shine. The only thing I have found is some wax is harder to take off than others. What I do is to take a couple of ounces of Chemical guys butter wax and put it a 22 ounce bottle, fill it with water and shake it till the wax dissolves in the water. Then I use it about once a week on my cars when I wipe it down. Takes me about five minutes to do my truck and car. I constantly get asked how I keep my car so shiny.

The first year I had my car I was all about the spray waxes, ceramic this, and ceramic that. This year I've gone back to traditional hand waxing. I also use Maguires wax as you dry after I wash my car. Which is often 😆. It's actually pretty insane how often I wash my car. Anyway, Ive found that traditional waxes look better on my silver car. I also enjoy waxing.

    @MrSteve280 3 місяці тому +1

    This is not a purely objective, scientific evaluation, but I think subjective tests like this are every bit as important, maybe even more so. I've watched several videos today from professional detailers and I think it's most important to point out that regular waxes and ceramic waxes (and I presume hybrids) can be very different. Ceramics are for primarily for gloss and waxes are for primarily for protection (as one detailer said, ceramics are a clear coat for your clear coat). Ceramics finishes also require much more extensive surface preparation to work effectively, don't really lend themselves to spot polishing since they don't blend/feather as well, and, unless you park in a garage, ceramics actually wear out faster (forget the marketing myth). So, if you're applying a true ceramic finish, you got your work cut out for you. Not my words, but those of detailers. Your particular results underscore that there's no silver bullet solution for all cars and all drivers. Most waxes will provide protection and shine but the condition of your car's paint and how well you maintain it is much more important. For me personally, I simply won't go down the ceramics (or other chemical) rabbit hole because of the significantly higher work/maintenance and expense to get the most out of it. The best finish I ever had on a car was 50+ years ago on a '69 Chevelle SS. And that was because I washed it every couple of weeks, got the bugs, tar, and bird droppings off asap, and waxed it 2-3 times a year. A formula that still seems to work pretty well.

I use spray on waxes like the Turtle wax carnauba wax or chemical guys quick detailer wax. One difference I noticed between the two is that the chemical guys makes the car feel smoother and leaves less swirl marks, if any, than the turtle wax. But the turtle wax brand does a great job on the windows; the wax last at least a month!
