Best wax excluding zaino?
What is the best wax on the market? Also is it better to buy the spray on and wipe off ones or the ones you gotta apply in the circular motion and buff off? Thanks for the input.

Check the posts " Mothers Canuba Wax" on the page below this posting. I personally will use Meguiars Cleaner, Polish, and Gold Class Wax (liquid). Absolutly amasing shine, and it actuall looks like liquid.
Highly recomended by me, any more opinions, I know you can get some professional wax which costs something absolutly insane like $7,500.00 or more. I know what you are thinking BS, that's what I said, however it is like a membership to this wax company, lifetime supply of wax (not sure about polish, cleaner, etc... I would assume so) and it is made with the finest ingredients (I don't know them so I don't wan't to sound stupid but it is a % of Canuba wax and...). We got into this conversation when I asked what wax do they use on Million dollar or half million dollar cars, like Ferrari F-50, and I'm sure everyone could through about ten other cars in here but you get the point. My mentality was I haven't seen a wax for too much money, maby $20-$50 (streaching it), How could you put that on a really expensive car. I don't think that $7500.00 included them doing it either, I might be able to understand the cost then but still...that is alot of money.

There are lots of good products out there.
Meguiars
Pinnacle
Blackfire
P21s
Blitz
Go check them out.
Spray on waxes are ok, but they lack any durability or longevity.

I was a meguire's 3 step fan (wax & cleaner, Polish, and Carnaba wax). I recently purchased Zymol from walmart ($12.99) and am pretty please what zymol can accomplished in one step what Meguires does in 3.

Sorry, just being nit picky, but Zaino is a sealant, not a wax. What are you looking for when you say "best" ? Best durability ? Best reflectiveness ? Best wettness & depth ? A lot of products already mentioned are really good.
I stay away from spray and wipes personally. I go with back and forth motions instead of circular.

S100 (equivalent to p21s) carnuba wax is available at harley davidson dealerships and most motorcycle shops, it costs about $14. For a really nice finish, you should claybar after washing and then apply the wax. Visit autopia.org and learn more about detailing than you could asking questions on this forum.

Race Glaze works well
I found a spray on/wipe off product called Race Glaze that does an awesome job on my Anthracite TL. It's $11 at the autoparts store. Easy to find on-line. I use it after washing the car if it's not supposed to rain for a few days. Very easy. Don't know how long it lasts compared to wax. I have had people stop me in the street and ask if I had my car repainted or detailed!? I think it works great.

Meguiars is an ok shine, with zero durability.
Blitz, not too impressed
If you want a good wax, Zaino is good, but the full application process sucks.
If you want a better wax with only a single step, Cherry Wet Wax is it. Better shine than Zaino, smells good enough to eat, and no dust at all.
If you want the best shine, go with Pinnacle Souveran. Your cars paint will look like water. Not a wet look, I'm talking water.

I used Klasse All in One before and it gave it a nice shine plus protection. But when my Accord was new, I used Meguiar's Gold Class wax and gosh, it was sooooo shiny. Of course, the problem with Meguiar's along with similar level waxes are that it doesn't last longer than a month per application.

If you think Meguiars is a good shine, then try one of the other ones that I listed. Meguiars is at best an "Ok" shine. Pinnacle, Cherry Wet Wax, or Zaino give a much better shine and last for a long time as compared to Meguiars.
