Do not abuse the poll selections.

Those who abused the poll selections have been punished and their choices deleted.

MOTHERS anything is the best from experience. I have to admit that Auto Magic's BC2 is the best "polish"

There's no such thing as the "best" car wax, it's mostly personal preference...

For an "off the shelf" product that you can pick up at a Kragen or Autozone, I'd go with Meguiar's NXT...

S100/P21S is the easiest carnuba wax I've used, you just wipe on, and wipe right off without waiting for it to haze... you should be able to pick up S100 at your local Harley dealer...

The longest lasting carnuba wax I've found is Meguiar's #16, which has been discontinued...

Zaino is too expensive for me, and I don't really like the "saran-wrapped" look that it gives.

Klasse SG and Platinum UPP are both really slick, both last a good amount of time...

My favorite sealant has been Poorboy's EX-P. Really easy to apply, and lasts pretty long too.

For the most part, wax is wax - its primary job is to protect the paint. What matters the most is the prep - claying to remove contaminants and polishing to remove swirls and scratches. A $1000 tub of wax, isn't going to make your car look any better than a $5 bottle of wax if you don't go through the proper preparations before sealing it up.

That is not true. There are many grades of wax. However, if that is how you feel...I've always had the best experience with this local shop down in Wilmington, CA called car aroma. They supply local car wash places with supplies. I've also used Meguiars Next Tech wax, which is pretty good. I hear Zaino and Zymol are the best though. You pay a premium for a product that is high quality.
