what's the best liquid wax product?

I'm using Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax after I wash my car, but I want to try some different product.
Any suggestions?
anyone tried Prima product?

Collinite Insulator Wax 845. At $15 its a very underrated product. It has sweet beading, lasting its 9th month now (sure the look its nearly gone, but the panels that were stripped have much different beading and sheeting characteristics). Any reason why your sticking to liquids exclusively?

I've been using Mothers Reflections car wax + top coat for the past few years with great results. I'm always getting comments from complete strangers on how good it looks / how shiny it is.

Yes, I have used Prima's Banana Gloss liquid wax. It is a nice product. Leaves the paint very smooth and glossy. Only negative thing I can say is it will leave your MF all yellow ofterwards - even after you wash it! But I like this Banana Gloss stuff. I have also used their Hydro wax too. thumbs up.


I will admidt though... I keep coming back to Menzerna Power Lock Sealant and then I use some Chemical Guys deep gloss afterwards to give it that silky deep shine.

For the majority of cars, it's hard to beat 845. It's a classic for a reason!

I'll go along with 845. It's easy to use, the looks are 95% as good as the "boutique" products, and it will get you through a winter with ease. I use it on my winter Focus, and it works really well.

I'm partial to Blackfire Wet Diamond on the 1er. I love the look, and its slickness. Durability is only average--I like to hit it once a month, which I don't mind, because it is easy to use.

It really is hard to go wrong with 845. Everyone ought to try it sometime.

If you are open to a sealant instead of a wax you'll get really durable protection from the Optimum Opti-Seal & Free Yellow Foam Applicator which is also the fastest application. It comes with an applicator you should use to apply it very thin and you are DONE as it dries clear and no removal is needed.

Menzerna's power lock sealant and a quick detailer (currently using some Meguiar's stuff, have also used Blackfire products) after each wash and dry leaves my jet black paint deep and glossy!

Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax is really good. It makes a very nice shine.
