So I'm working on getting my ride all ready for summer and I've been working on detailing the past week or so. I have a good selection of products I've accumulated over the past year. I'm having a hard time deciding which wax would be the best for my car. My car is black and It doesn't see much sunlight It stays in my garage under a car cover and I'll probably only put 2,000 miles on this summer. The wax's I have to pick from are all meguiar's I have Ultimate liquid wax, Gold Class liquid, NXT generation tech wax 2.0, Professional Hi-Tech yellow wax liquid, and Hi-Tech yellow wax paste. What do you guys think? I'm looking for a really high gloss finish. Thanks!

I seem to be getting the best results from the NXT2 as well. I tried the gold paste but the gloss just wasn't there.

That's a really fair statement! Everyone has their favorite wax for their own reasons. A few things to think about when choosing a wax:

• Paste Wax will always offer longer durability and better depth to paint vs a Liquid Wax.
  
• Since Wax essentially surfs the paint/clear coat, a Paste will be taller in a sense, thus providing more protection and in most cases, that "wet" look a lot of us are always after.
  
• From a good Paste Wax, one should expect between 3-5 months longevity before having to either add another coat or strip the finish and start all the way over.
  
• A good Liquid Wax will usually never last more than 2 months before having to add another coat or stripping the finish and starting over.
  
• Liquid waxes will always be easier to apply, as they aren't as hard as Pastes, are indeed liquid, and therefore tend to be thinner on the surface when applying and removing. Pastes, although harder to apply and remove in most cases, at the end of the day, will give you a better looking car.

I just finished a Bullitt last week with a Prototype Paste Wax from Surf City Garage. I have used some pretty expensive Pastes in my days detailing as well as some of the cheaper ones. This stuff rates up there with the most expensive I have used.

X2, Is it going to be available for sell?

We are expecting the Pro Paste to be out some time around mid-July. In the mean time, SCG Enthusiast Grade Barrier Reef Carnauba is a great over the counter Paste Wax that is already out and can be found in some auto parts stores.

Thanks!
