Default The best soap WITH wax in it?

My gf bought a brand new car, black, and i know she wont wax it often enough, so im lookin for some good quality soap that also has a good amount of wax in it. Im not sure if the wax and soap even works, but if it does whats the best out there? she will wash her car with a sheep skin mit, and use the 2 bucket method, but i know she wont wanna wax it so i wanna make sure the car gets some kinda wax.

Thanks guys!

I doubt that such a product exists.
Why not just wax the car for her once a month?

Blue Coral soap has "wax" in it, though I think it is a ploy to get lazy people to buy it.

There are only three way to get what you want; Wax it yourself, Get the GF to wax it, or pay someone else to do ti. There is really no substitution for a good waxing.

i will wax it for her, but tryin to get a soap that will kinda prolong that and not strip the wax after 3 car washes.

I gotta read up on waxing on some detailing forums, i dont know much about it at all

go to your honda dealership and buy a detail package... it comes with a wax/soap that works pretty good. 2 cap fulls per 8L of water. it will last forever.

I would just get some spray on wax that you can spray on before you dry it.

car wash soap with "wax" will do very little.

Have the girl wax, um, herself. In exchange, wax the car for her. Relationships are all about compromise and "give and take" after all...

I'm with E-Rok. If anything, just purchase an easy to use and fairly durable spray wax like Duragloss Aquawax or Optimum Car Wax.

Why is everyone so opposed to waxing their cars? It's a layer of proetection for your clear that prolongs the life of your entire paint job. It would take twenty minutes, tops.

Oh well. Keep being lazy. When it gets oxidized, starts feeling rough or doesn't look good anymore, you'll call someone like me to come and fix it. Gotta love job security.

actually i dont mind waxin her car at all, i just thought it would be as good to use soap/wax combo, but i think what ill do is get a good wax, and than wash it with soap that isnt so strong and doesnt take the wax off.

now i know this is a big debate topic, but whats a good wax out there?

I like the Black Magic soap. I notice it gives a better shine than the other crap out there, and it smells really good.

I use hi-temp's Bahama Mama wax. I love it. Lasts a long time. For my beaters, I use Nu Finish. Very easy to use, cheap, and has a longer shelf life than a twinky.
