Sid is right. There are 3-4 vendors who regularly post in the Wash & Wax Section who can help you more-based upon the current condition of the paint on your TL.

^What he said.

But most Waxes are good and easy, very simple to use. Mothers and Meguiars are always good.

Consider Optimum Opti-Seal for easiest and very long durability. Looks great on all color paint, even lighter colors. Here's a good review on Opti-Seal. Here's some customer reviews on Opti-Seal as well.

If you want any other options let me know.

"Best" can come in many forms!


  • Ease of use (Probably single most important, easy on, easy off, excellent coverage)
  • Durability
  • Price
  • Availability options
  • Pleasant aroma
  • Liquid/paste?
  • Non Staining (Usually not an issue if you tape or avoid)
  • Reputation

Best I have found so far .. and I have tried a bunch is 4* UPP and like any of them prep is the key.

I even liked the looks of UPP better than Zaino Z2 on WDP.

Agreed, I find I am using foam applicator pads for all of my sealant and wax applications. After polishing for hours, I don't want to do another step with it!
