But either way, everyone has personal opinions, you wont really find one you like unless you go out and try a few.

You do realize the more you wax, the harder it is to take off. I recommend waxing it once a month. Just my .02 cent.

Why would you need to wax your car every week? Are you washing the car with dish soap or something?

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.

Ok, looks like I have stepped into this a little too late. For one, if you want a GOOD protection for your car I would not recommend any liquid waxes, nor anything off the shelve.

Two VERY good waxes i have used or Lusso Oro and P21S 100% Past Wax. These are both paste waxes, yes. Just so you know, to get a liquid wax the companies are just basically "watering" down a paste wax, essentially giving you less shine and protection most importantly.

you can get Lusso Oro here,
http://www.detailersdomain.com/index...ROD&ProdID=120

and you can get P21S 100% here,
P21S 100% Carnauba Wax is P21S's first car wax made with pure carnauba wax, no other waxes. P21S pure carnauba car wax, P21s car wax, P21S carnuba

Both waxes will run you about $40, but trust me I applied this stuff to well over 30 cars with multiple layers on each one, it LASTS! I prefer the P21s over Lusso, but the Lusso is a bit cheaper.

I use Meguiar's or mothers, doesn't matter to me. I was told on dark cars your supposed to do it by hand. If you use a buffer, it will be easier to see swirl marks. I love waxing by hand, it gets you to know your car better.
