Default What WAX are you guys using on your ITR's?

I am using the 3M wax which I like a lot and I have heard some good things about the Mothers wax. What do you guys use?

Meguiers, but you would never be able to tell because it's always dirty.

TRT Red Velvet.

I get it from the detail shop guy here at the dealership.

It's the best wax I have ever used. Goes on real easy, comes off real easy. Seriously, it takes less than 20 minutes to wax your whole car.

But it doesn't last NEARLY as long as Meguiars or any other wax.
Red Velvet lasts for about a month or so.
But at 20 minutes per session, I don't have a problem doing it once a month.

Anyone else use this? I have seen the difference on a Supra TT and Audi S4. Those were darker cars with some metallic or flake of some sort in them. Not sure how it fares on the CW ITRs...

Zaino Rocks. Easy to apply/remove. I bought basically all the goodies they have to offer, but haven't used everything yet...

Mothers California Gold

it's pure carnauba wax...it smells good and works good!
most people get mixed up with polish and wax.

polish prepares the paint for waxing.

Mothers!!!

I use Zaino on my car. Very pleased with the results and it lasts a long time.

p21-s is by far the best wax that there is. However I am really fond of 3M and P&S compounds and glazes.

Funny the cult followings that things like Zaino and Meguiars both have, when in fact they are not that good. I have used both, and neither of them are my first choice, in fact not even in the top five. At one point in my life I made a living as a detailer, so I kind of have some experience on this topic....

For the most part there are few brands that you should stick to.

p21-s
one grand
3M (compounds their wax blows)
pinnacle
zymol, the real stuff not the turtle wax
P&S

I am sure that there are some others that I am forgetting but you won't find them at your local autoparts store.
