Best car wax's to use for your vehicle.
Products are in no particular order.
Prices are estimates.
1) Carnauba Wax - Professional Shine On Black Cars $16.50
Black in my opinion is one of the most beautiful colors when it’s clean. Why is it that dark colored cars seem to deteriorate faster? Imperfections, paint scratches and swirl marks are more noticeable. Professional auto detailers will tell you, carnauba wax will minimize and/or eliminate paint imperfections.
Unlike other brands, Lane’s Carnauba Wax is a liquid paste that is easy to apply and remove either by hand or orbital buffer. A high, durable, long-lasting shine is what you can expect. How do we know Lane’s Carnauba Wax will out shine other brands? Easy, we are professional auto detailers. Now you can achieve the same results with Lane’s Carnauba Wax by restoring the shine and eliminating paint imperfections to your dark colored car.
Directions: Apply Carnauba Wax with a wax applicator. Work into the paint surface using pressure at first then ease up gradually as the car wax dries and develops a gloss. Wipe off with a clean microfiber towel.
2) Meguiares NXT Generation Tech Wax® 2.0 $17.00
NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 is a scientific breakthrough that introduces a new dimension of gloss and protection. This better-than-ever formula produces unbelievably deep, vibrant color and a dramatically clear wet-look. New Hydrophobic Polymer Technology provides relentless water beading and protection against oxidation, corrosion, UV rays and surface degradation. Hydrophobic means water-fearing and this new breakthrough technology builds such incredible protection and surface tension that water beads up and just glides off your paint finish, wash after wash!
3) Meguiare's Ultimate Quik Detailer® $9.99
The most advanced high bead and deep gloss spray detailer! Meguiars®, the company that brought car enthusiasts the worlds first spray detailer, now introduces a revolutionary mist and wipe product that works like a spray detailer and enhances wax protection. This totally unique formula represents a significant breakthrough in technology that has even our eyes popping! Through the use of new Hydrophobic Polymer Technology, Meguiars has created a spray detailer that actually repels water, withstands multiple car washes, and adds additional protection to your finish. The secret lies in the high level of surface tension created when these revolutionary polymers react. The result is a slicker, darker surface and incredible water beading! You will feel your towel almost float across the surface. The gentle, high lubricity formula is safe on all paint types including the latest clear coats and can be used daily to remove loose contaminants, dust and grime to keep your car looking its absolute best. Its so easy, you can detail a full size car in less than 10 minutes! I use this product, and I love the smell of it, as well as the shine payoff, it has an easy applicator and can make your car shine in literally 10mins. The quick detailer is my personal favorite since its release in January 2008.
4) Meguiare's Hi-Tech Yellow Wax $12.75
Hi-Tech Yellow Wax is a premium yellow Carnauba wax blended with silicones, polymers and other waxes. Adds richness and depth of color. Provides ultimate high gloss protection to any previously cleaned and polished paint finish. Available in liquid or paste.
5) Eagle One Nanowax $9.99
NanoWax is Eagle One's most technologically advanced wax created using Nanotechnology. This formula is better at filling fine scratches and concealing swirl marks than traditional waxes. It also provides an amazing shine and leaves no wax residue behind. Eagle One believes that NanoWax is the best performing high gloss wax formula on the market today. It's an easier way to protect your car with a long lasting wax and high gloss shine.
- Easy to remove, no white residue
- Conceals minor scratches and swirl marks
- Comes in a convenient pump bottle for control and ease-of-use
- Smoother coating minimizes smearing after polishing
6) Meguiare's Deep Crystal® System Carnauba Wax $5.50
In order to lock in and protect the eye dazzling finish you created with Steps 1 and 2 of the Deep Crystal® System, you need to apply a protective coating that will enhance and extend the perfect finish created by Deep Crystal System Polish. Our Deep Crystal System Carnauba Wax delivers durable, long-lasting high gloss protection with superb water beading action. Apply with an Even-Coat Applicator and remove residue with a Supreme Shine® Microfiber for dazzling results.
7) Mothers FX Synwax $13.99
The shine of Mothers FX Synwax is pure synthetic technology. While some people love the warmth of a carnauba glow, a growing number of enthusiasts prefer the hard, glossy shine that can only be engineered in a lab. Reflections are crisper and light refracts off of a synthetic finish much like a mirror. And, because Synwax is manmade; it is more durable than a natural carnauba. The Synwax shine lasts weeks longer and requires less effort to apply.
Synwax goes beyond shine enhancement to improve the texture of the paint. The formula contains polishes that remove minor surface defects as it creates a hard layer of synthetic protection. The finish is as smooth as glass and protects your paint from minor scratches and nicks with its hard, shiny shell. Think of it as a candy coating for your vehicle!
As with any synthetic polymer wax, Synwax is easy to apply. An engineered encapsulation process makes the wax spread quickly and easily. Simply rub a small amount of wax into a 2’ to 3’ section of paint. Keep changing the section of towel as it becomes soiled. Allow the wax to dry to a haze, and then buff it off with a clean Cobra Microfiber Towel or a terry cloth towel.
To use a polisher, apply a small amount of Synwax to a white pad and work at a low speed in a 2’ or 3’ area. Buff thoroughly while wet. Allow to dry to a haze and then buff away by hand with a soft Cobra Microfiber or terry cloth towel.
If you love the hard, glossy shine of a synthetic polymer, Mothers FX Synwax will make you an instant fan. The engineered polymer wax provides remarkable paint protection and enhancement in an easy-to-apply formula.
8 ) Mothers California Gold Original Formula Carnauba Cleaner Wax $7.99
Original Formula Carnauba Cleaner Wax is designed to be the one-step plan for paint preservation. This special Carnauba Cleaner Wax is formulated to clean and protect in just one application. We used the same Brazilian #1 yellow carnauba that makes our Pure Carnauba Wax so special, and combined it with a light polish that will smooth minor flaws and make your paint snap. Carnauba Cleaner Wax is especially effective on fiberglass and gel coats. Available in long-lasting, easy-to-apply liquid or paste.
9) Nu Finish Once-a-Year Car Polish &$6.99
NuFinish is the once-a-year car polish that independent laboratory tests have proven will bead, shine, and protect for a whole year. Nu-Finish gives an all weather protection, even against road chemicals, tree sap, bird droppings, rust, corrosion and oxidation. Nu Finish is easy to use and polishes quickly with no hard rubbing or buffing. Apply in sun or shade. Nu Finish is also excellent for Fiberglass boats, recreation vehicles, motorbikes, and chrome surfaces.

- 16 oz. liquid
10) Zymol Natural Liquid Cleaner Wax $13.99
Zymol Liquid Cleaner Wax is an easy to apply cleaner and polish containing nature’s most effective and expensive ingredients. This dual action, non solvent (based), all natural formula cleans and protects in one simple step. Liquid Cleaner Wax will remove minor scratches and oxidation. A combination of Kaolin Clays from Africa and gentle Almond Meal from California provide a safe and effective cleaning action for your car without abrasion. Pure Beeswax provides a water repellent finish.
11) One Grand Blitz Carnauba Wax
The ultimate Carnauba paste wax that works equally well on all paint colors and types of paint. Produces a deep, durable, "wet look" shine that protects the paint against harmful elements. Blitz contains no cleaners or abrasives. It is easy to apply and easy to remove, yet long lasting.
Apply with a closed cell foam pad, a 100% cotton terry covered foam pad or use your fingers instead of a pad (your body heat helps melt the wax). Buff out with a soft 100% cotton flannel cloth to produce a deep long lasting shine.
Blitz is the easiest to apply and remove wax we have ever found. You may layer several coats (a week apart) for an even deeper shine.
12) Butter Wet Wax CAR WAX -WET LOOK SHINE $25.00
Wettest Wax ever. Delivers a unmatched surface shine and wet look. This is a brand new technology that consists of a special blend of polymers, resins, and natural Carnauba. Butter Wet Wax leaves your car shining like it was just washed! Butter Wax contains no cleaners or abrasives, and will not stain plastic or rubber. Suitable for easy application and removal in the sun or shade, hot or cool temperatures.

14)Zaino Z-2 Pro Show Car Polish for Clear Coated Finishes $14.95
Zaino car polishes, cleaners and protectants are technologically advanced products specially engineered for show cars. Our customers describe Z-2 Pro Show Car Polish with one word—AWESOME! Z-2 was created to enhance and protect the flawless paintwork of the finest custom show cars in the world; imagine what it will do for your car. Z-2 Show Car Polish contains state-of-the-art optical enhancers and gloss additives to enhance the color and clarity of your paint. It is 99.9% optically perfect. Z-2 contains Ultra-Gard™ UV(40) sunscreen for the ultimate protection against fading and shrinking. Additionally, our special flex agent restores the gloss on rubber and plastic painted parts.
Z-2 bonds with the paint and gets wetter, deeper and richer with multiple coats. Z-2 contains no abrasives, harmful silicone oils, or yellowing carnauba wax. Z-2 is the easiest and quickest polish you will ever use. It will not streak, yellow, smear, film or haze (even on black) in any situation. It leaves no powder or white residue in cracks, is non-greasy, non-oily, anti-static, does not attract dust or dirt and can be applied in the sun or shade. Z-2 polish is a true paint protectant and is designed to replace traditional waxes. It gives your paint finish total environmental protection. Nothing sticks to Zaino Show Car polish. It will outperform, out-protect, outshine and outlast anything on the market today. Guaranteed!
The first application of Z-2 Show Car Polish produces an incredible wet-looking, durable gloss. This is fine for the average vehicle. A second coat of Z-2 will simply amaze you in terms of wetness, slickness and optical clarity. The third coat, well, simply put it's AWESOME!
Z-3 Show Car Polish for regular paint
Z-3 contains the same basic formula as Z-2 Show Car Polish, but also includes a custom blend of emulsifiers to gently clean, condition and maintain regular paints, which tend to oxidize, shrink and lose their resiliency quicker. Z-3 contains special filling agents for fine scratches, buffing and swirl marks and a flex agent that is compatible with single stage urethanes, lacquers, enamels, lucite, Imron, acrylics and older paint formulations.
15)NEW Zaino Z-5 Show Car Polish for Swirl Marks & Fine Scratches $16.95
Z-5 is the first non-abrasive polish that helps eliminate swirl marks, fine scratches and spidering, without hurting the integrity of the clear coat. With each application of Z-5 polish, you will see the swirl marks and fine scratches gradually lessen, until the marks are no longer visible (usually one to three applications). Although this procedure may seem time consuming, the results are well worth it. This is the only non-abrasive way a swirl mark problem should be addressed and corrected. Z-5 can be used right over Z-2. For the highest gloss follow Z-5 with a coat of Z-2.
More will be added as time progresses.

Save the yellow-bottle professional stuff, all of the Meguiar's off-the-shelf stuff is complete crap. It's just good enough to make you think you're onto a good deal, but the quantities you're required to use are so huge that you quickly realize what their products are really designed for: to make you buy more Meguiar's. There's not a single Meguiar's product in my supply bin.
