Question

lets see if we can get a top three of the best waxes around.
add comments and prices if you have them.

after reading a lot on the forums i came up with :

1. Zymol
2. Swissol
3. Meguiar's

top three for what performance, value for money ??.

I have used swissol and iAuto.

Swissol is excellent but iAuto is considerbly cheaper and my wrx is still shining and water is still beading on the surface after nearly 2 months not bad for £12. and it has a high volume of carnuba wax in it for this price too.

Mr Muscle does a good enough job for me.


Gixerman, that's one shine you've got there, isn't that illegal for a breach of the peace though?

Not sure what you mean about 'Swissol shield'? I just bought a tub of the wax and that's how it cleaned up

Tow hitch was for my race bike....and no that certainly wasn't ever clean, especially after a trip into the armco @120mph at the nurburgring

Better nip down to the art supplies shop and buy some 'matt spray' before i get accused of causing an accident due to someone being blinded by the shine!! lol
