Z*mol is pretty good. I have Titanium and Glasur

Haven't had the coin to drop on Swissvax yet

There are probably at least 5-6 waxes I want to get right now. Maybe more.
my friend, the wax wish list never ends until you've literally tried them all

i've only tried a couple of waxes, and cg 50/50 is the only one i trust for my all around wax right now. for my budget... that is haha

Well I have:

Titanium
Glasur
Wet Obsession
S100
P21S
Meguiar's Gold Class Liquid
FK Pink
Eagle1 Nano
Collonite 845
Lusso Oro
Optimum Spray Wax
Mark-V FastWax
Gliptone Carnuaba Paste
(I have a sample of World's Best Wax Concours on the way)

I have tried:
Black Magic Titanium
Turtle Wax
Meg's Cleaner Wax
Einszett HartGlanz
Meg's QuikWax
and probably a few more I can't remember.

I also have 3 sealants, tried another 1, and tried 2 different glazes.

I have become quite picky over the last 2 years. There are some brands I won't ever touch again or even bother trying.

Cleaner waxes, IMHO, are very useful, particularly when caring for cars that serve as daily drivers. Cleaner wax topped by one's favorite wax every 6-8 weeks is a reasonable and workable daily driver strategy. My favorite cleaner wax is Meguiar's ColorX.

These two articles turned me around on the value of cleaner waxes:

In praise of cleaner waxes

3 years with no swirl correction

I use ColorX topped with NXT or Collinite on my wife's car. It works very well.

Cheers,
Al

You had a bad experience with zaino? Ive only tried 2 of their products but both have been amazing. Z6 and the glass polish.

I have no desire to try Zaino. Just have no interest in their line.

I am pretty fond of 1Z, they make quite a bit of stuff, including polish, wax, windscreen washer, glaspolish, lubricants, etc.

Nice stuff and cheaper than some brands
