Default Wax Help

After being without my baby for 7 months I need to show her a little love. I detailed her today but she has a little oxidation on her hood and roof. I have polished and waxed her a few times before using varioustypes of wax. But does anyone have a certain favorite? I would like some suggestions.. Thanks!

Mothers cleaner/wax, works great. A lot of people like Zaino, but it's exspensive, I am going to try it this summer.

Yeah use mothers but use a buffer to get that oxidation off.But be careful you can put burn marks and swirls if you dont pay attention or get careless.I have heard of zaino but not used it so i have no info on it but mothers is good s**t.</P>

I use Maguires.... Its like a yellow wax, it leaves a thin coat and easy to use.... Plus it stays on forever and makes future dirt grime spray right off..... Im not too sure on who makes it (too lazy to go out to garage) lol but its a wax as you dry stuff in a red bottle.. That stuff is really cool too makes my ride sparkle

Umm......you need to do more than just wax.

Clean, polish (THAT'S WHERE THE DAMNED SHINE COMES FROM!!!), then wax to seal it and protect it.

Dual Action buffers kick ***.

Yeah or just sand all that clear off and lay another coat of color on and clear again lol then it would bring the sparkle back to life

Use Zaino, it works wonders on the car, and then wipe it off with a micro-fiber towel.
