nanowax spray and wipe? how good does it compare to the paste? i know its easier but does it provide as good a protection as the paste or better? im getting kind of tired of having to wax the hard way and i figured id ask about it maybe someone knows. also i saw this new product from turtle wax for black cars called, believe it, the black box. wondering if anyone has heard anything on how that works too. thanks in advance
I use NanoWax out of sheer laziness. It does really good work, in my opinion, but I can't compare it to paste wax. I like it. It makes the car sheen and shine really well. I usually do 2 coats because I don't think it provides as thick of a layer as a paste wax is capable of.

cool. thanks for the info. have you heard anything about the black box by turtle wax?
Use a sealant if you want durability and a glassy/reflective shine. Meguiars has a good sealant out thats easy to spread and remove and if you want a deep warm shine then use a carnauba wax, but you sacrifice durability unless your getting the high end products. I think your nano product is a synthetic wax so it'll last longer than the paste wax your referring to, but with a different shine. In my opinion nothing beats two coats of a sealant like meguiars and topping it with a carnauba wax like p21s, nattys red/blue, souveran paste(for dark colors), or any meguiars carnauba wax. Don't slack on the prep work though, thats the key to getting the best shine possible.

well see the only reason im wanting to try these nanowaxes is because im getting tired of putting on the paste wax by hand. i know i should have a buffer but i wouldnt even know how to use it and ive learned how to do it by hand only. with all this that youre talking about, im assuming that you are using an electric buffer?

well im not trying to get someone else to basically spend money on me. but if you feel compelled to, go ahead and get it and let me know how it turns out and if its worth the $20. you know its for black cars right? i just wanted to specify this so you knew.
I use the porter cable buffer to polish the paint and for applying sealant, but not for waxing. You can apply sealant by hand, but with the buffer I know I'm covering the whole panel evenly which is important to seal the paint well. You might want to consider different paste waxes that spread easily and remove more easily than what you're use to. I'd rather spread souveran carnauba wax by hand which is made for black/red cars than use a buffer because that wax is so easy to apply and remove you can do the whole car in 15 minutes once you get use to it and do it regularly. Plus if you do it by hand you don't have to bring out the tools and clean the buffing pads after which can be a pain and time consuming.

got ya. sometimes when i was my car im kinda pressed for time and it literally takes me about 5 hours to clean it completely. im very particulate about getting every single crease and crevace. so when it gets time for the waxing and buffing im worn the hell out. but ill definately go and get some carnauba wax next time i go to advance auto. also, does the wax leave a smooth feeling surface rather than a bumpy texture? ive had a shitty wax one time when i was experimenting with it at one time, i cant remember the brand, but it was so horrible i had to throw the whole bottle away and it cost me about $30 for a 8oz.
Any decent wax should leave a slick feeling surface, but the paint has to be cleaned of all contaminants first either by clay bar or a cleaner polish. If you use a clay bar like the mild meguiars kit, make sure you use a lot of lubrication so the clay bar doesn't stick onto the paint and potentially leave light scratches. It should glide over picking up any contaminants the car wash couldn't get off.

make sure you have plenty of quick detailer handy for clay lube. i used the meguiars clay bar on mine this weekend, huge difference! i followed with "liquid glass" polish then meguiars nxt gen 2.0 synthetic liquid wax. not my favorite wax yet but it will work for now. i've always used meguiars gold class with excellent results. chemical guys carries a paste wax called E-zyme Natura that i want to try. it's 59% by volume pure brazillian wax. only problem, it's $275!

lol damn. i picked up a few polishes and waxes from a company called adams over the internet and used it today. i couldnt get decent enough results because of all the pollen out today. i forgot to look at the pollen count before hand so it was pretty much a waste of my time today. but for the few mins i did get to see it after i finished, the paint and trim was prefectly smooth AND even swirlfree. im definately going to try it again when i have another 5-6 hours on my hand to do it
i definitely recommend claying a car and using excess quick detailer. i then follow it up with McGuires cleaner wax then top it off with a coat of mothers reflections. Definitely my favorite wax by far.
so i have a silver skittle. i have a whole line up of maguiars profucts (ultimate compound, pure polish, scratch X, tech wax 2.0, carnauba (liquid) wax, gold class paste wax, quick detailer, clay bar (with lube) ect..... and i apply everything with a buffer. BUT what im wonfering is what would be the BEST wax to get the most shine out of my paint? i used all of these products on my black jeep with excelent results but there is a big difference with black and silver. any input?
