Mothers products by far! Once a month isn't bad as long as you keep washing it. I can't see why waxing too much causes problems. As long as you are not using an abrasive wax (car color comes off onto rag), then you can wind up stripping tha paint...

I use Mother's products on mine about once a month as well. I find the wax comes off clean and easy without excessive build up. I also make sure to wash the car once a week either by hand or running it through a touchless car wash.

Zaino is a great product, but it is expensive and very time consuming to use, if you want to get the best shine.

Personally, I use Meguires NXT Tech Wax. Many others on here will agree, its easily the best wax on the market for the price. Leaves the finish super smooth, and creates a mirror like shine on almost any color car. It also smells great and lasts for months before it needs to be re-applied

if you guys think NXT is good, try Collinite
you only have to apply it once a year, no joke
its what a lot of the professional car detailers use on show cars
it looks absolutely amazing

i always thought car show cars were so shiny cause they only put a couple layers of clearcoat on, then just polished it up. could be wrong though.. i've always been using turtle wax, since i got a tub of it for free. i've been happy with it for the most part.

Add me to the list of NXT wax supporters.

I think it rivals Zaino and at a fraction of the cost.


What do you guys mean when you say 'touchless' carwash? The manual wash stations at every carwash? The $5 handwash from a bunch of underpaid minorities at some stations? If not, I don't think I've ever seen a touchless carwash anywhere around here.
