Zymol is good but in my opinion I love the Turtle hand Wax in the green jar with the yellow top.
I know it is hard to get it off certain areas of the truck like the bedliner if you get it on so most people tend to use the spray wax.
I am still a Turtle Wax lover though. I also have alot of buddies who are using the wax settings at the car wash. They seem to like it and the water beads up nice so hey thats super cheap way and it is effective.

I have been always partial to turtle wax. I loved the platinum paste wax. I waxed my truck in October and after a punishing New England winter the water beads up like I just waxed it.
I just baught paste turtle wax ice to see how that one is. They claim very easy to get off with ZERO white residue. It is pricy. I got mine at Chinamart for $17.

I believe it is just a wax. It is a polymer wax if I remember right. I can't wait for the first warm day to try it out.
I have always used a clay bar twice a year to keep the paint clean and smooth as glass.

There's no such thing as best, but my favorite is Mother's Three Phase. I have only used mother's and meguiar's so I am not very versed, on the other hand, I have never needed or wanted to try anything else. I just remembered, I tried something called the Treatment.
One step waxes are nice for non-painted items such as chrome bumpers and nerf bars. I also use it on the roof of my truck and in the door jambs, just because I don't see much of them and don't want to spend that much time on them. For the rest of my paint, the pre wax cleaner strips off the old wax and contaminates. The Sealer and Glazer makes it looks smooth and top it off with a hard carnuba wax.
I like to add polish to it every so often, it makes the paint look deeper and wet.

OK, I have a couple of websites that promote their stuff...not waxes that you can get @ Walmart or the local store.

I'm interested in what anyone has to say about their experiences with these.
Thanks guys!

I was going to try the adamspolish but the shipping was as much as the wax I wanted. I will probly place a order for the wax and the chrom cleaner in a few weeks. I think a guy at work is going to get some wax so we can split the shipping.
