maguire's. You don't want to park in the garage?
I don't have that option. Well, I guess I do but, that means a longer walk to the shop as well as having to pay to park

Wax? Sealant is where it’s at now. I like jescar/menzerna for my sealant/polishing needs. It’s pricey but a little goes a long way with sealant. The cars I care about get 2-3 coats, my boat (which I love) gets 5. Goes quick when you use a power buffer.
My last car I went with 6 coats of Klass Sealant. Looked great. Didn't seem to last more than about 3 car washes

I get 6 months or so out of it. If you want longer, look at going ceramic coated.Wax? Sealant is where it’s at now. I like jescar/menzerna for my sealant/polishing needs.

Most of them are cleaners. I used the McGuiers ultimate polish the other day on my truck. Pretty easy on and off. Very nice to work with.

If you are going to do carnuba next try and find pure carnuba.

That's what I have. I went to autozone a couple of years ago and they had it miss marked on the shelf for $6.99/can. I bought all 4 cans they had

No wax for mine either.

Really nice stuff to work with. I bought a new truck and noticed the Pollen was really sticking to it. After a little research I realized that brand new vehicles do not come with any wax on them. :dunno: I used the ultimate polish as I said it was super easy now when I pull out of the driveway the pollen all blows off driving down the road. I am thinking I will put another coat on in a month or so. Then about every six months after that.

For wax, I typically use Turtle wax Ice or similar spray wax. Zero effort, no more than wiping down the car after washing it and it lasts for a couple months outside or during the rainy season. Cheap n easy, but not the best.
I did get a bottle of nano wax, spray wax. A lot of effort to remove the haze but it has lasted on the hood of my work truck for a few months and counting. Parked outside and driving over the pass a couple times a week. I've been using it on the wheels of all the vehicles mostly. Lasts longer against brake dust and road grime than spray wax.
Basically unless I get an entire weekend to get the new car prepped for ceramic coat, I'll stick with easy wipe on wipe off.

Haven't done ceramic yet. Was going to on the new car, but even being brand new, it needs a full clay bar and polishing out all the water spots. Vinegar nor Babes boat bright will take the water spots off.

The clay bar is awesome. I've used that on some, older vehicles that were neglected and what a difference that makes.

Every six months I wash off my protective coating of dried mud and bug guts. Sparkles like a diamond for a couple days before the next protective layer begins to build.
Just like me. I take a shower every year weather I need it or not. Usually around the holidays.

Good to know. I thought the paper mill was blowing this way. :yike:
