OT: Best Car Wax

What do you feel is the best/very good car wax on the market? I'm looking to do a solid waxing of my car and wonder if there is a noticeable difference between "off the shelf" and "premiere" waxes.

You want paint correction or just a shiny finish?

If you just want a nice shiny slippery finish DPC products are the real deal, no marketing bs claims. Can hand apply and has great durability.

I dont know about best, but I've been using Griots garage products and I find them all very good and easy to use.

The 3 in 1 ceramic spray wax is pretty good for the effort required.

Do you mean the best wax as a last step after clay bar and polishing? Or something that easily adds shine and protection?

I still have nearly-full bottle of Collinite No. 845 Insulator Wax. If you're still in the east bay, you can try it.

Pure carnuba wax, any brand. I use Mother's Finest.

But if you're looking to remove rain spots, fine scratches, and all that other jazz, you'll need a polish, fine rubbing compound, clay bar, or other pre-wax treatment prior to waxing, all of which will increase your time budget.

Some waxes also have a fine polishing compound as well. Read the labels.
