Default Best Wax for £30?

What seems to be the most popular and best wax for the £30 mark?

Looking to buy a wax for my WR Blue that I'll use quite frequently so just want something to do they job easily.

I've used both the Dodo Purpe haze and Rubbishboys Origional Edition on mine and been impressed with the results of both, the purple was £32 and the OE is £39

Another vote for DODO I went for Banana Armour hard wax on top of lime prime with great results. You wont find a better wax for £30 in my opinion.

However for the winter months I reckon you get yourself some Collinite 915 and that'll see you through. Apply 2-3 coats 24hrs apart Come the better months you can try some DODO or Victoria Concours.

Fair point matey, I used the Lime Prime before both wax applications and until the Dodo had been using Collonite 845 Insulator Wax (lots cheaper than £30)

For £30, how about Blackfire's Wet Diamond Ivory Carnauba? It won Pete Sargent 6/6 SIDC show n shines this year, and has just been superceded by a slightly revised formula. For a proven winner with £10 off at the moment (it's currently £30) then look no further, see here for details...

Dodo Lime Prime cleaner followed by

DODO PURPLE HAZE

this stuff is amazing and long lasting protection too, especially needed at this time of the year...

Collinite 915 love it, at around £25 takes alot of beating trust me.

If you dont mind going over it fairly regularly p21s is about the easiest stuff to apply/buff off and leaves a quality finish for the effort at around £20.

Blackfire ivory carnauba wax paste is the same stuff as pinnacle souveran wax paste(or really close) if youve ever used both folks im sure you`ll come to the same conclusion, Bargain if you like souveran however on mine not as good as collinite 915.

Cheers for all responses.

Had some Poorboys Nattys Blue before and I must admit for the price its up there for value, gives a great wet finish.

Think I may just get some Purple Haze and have done with it, got some Nattys left for the winter period.
