I think all of these major brands make good products, and I wouldn't hesitate to use any of them, but I have been using something I havn't heard mentioned. Called Prestone Bullit Wax, I don't know if it's the same prestone as the antifreeze, but I don't think so. It's hard to find but I like it. It goes on easy with the applicator, and it buffs off fairly easily. Leaves a nice shine and durable too. The problem I've had with the wax shop is that it isn't a long lasting durable finish, but it goes on easy and shines good. Zymol is very good, and Mothers and Meguiers both make very good products. I like rain dance too. And turtle wax. Stick with a name brand and you'll be happy. If you need to remove oxidation aswell Formula 2000 (I think is the name) is supposed to be good for that.

 

Meguire's Polish and then Zymol wax on top of that...it is a very good combination. But it takes a while! I have a '97 Explorer with the dark green paint and it shines for weeks. Granted I do use Meguire's spray on Quick Detailer in between wax jobs...good stuff, too.

Anything without Silicone in it. I prefer either either meguairs or Wizzards Polish.. For buffing duties use 3M compounds.

Just a few cents worth. :-)

 

i use mother's cleaner paste every spring, to help get all of the winter contaminants off. then i use mother's carnuba paste the rest of the year. don't know how long it lasts, because i wax often - 6 or 7 times a year.

 

the liquid ZYMOL is turtle wax in a different package! the paste ZYMOL is the real deal.

 

I use Eagle One products.

 

I use the Dri-Wash product as my wax. It gives the truck the deepest, richest shine I have ever seen. I also use it on my windows. Sheets water.

The product was designed to take the place of washing w/ water.....not me! I wash, dry, then use it. Awesome shine!

 

Mothers California Gold is an excellent product.
I have used it on both of my F-150s and it works
perfectly, and the trucks look beautiful when your done!!


My Rigs:
1992 Ford F-150 Custom 300 inline 6
2000 Ford F-150 XLT 5.4L

 

I could not agree more. Dri Wash'n Guard works wonders on my truck. Leland

 

I am a profesional detailer, and i would highly recomend the Auto Glym products, they are superior products, the Super Resin Polish is awsome!!


Hope this helps

 

i allways have my truck muddy but when i do clean it i will use turtle wax the solid kind not the liquid kind and it's good just the normal stuff

 

I like Meguire's Mirror Glaze Cleaner/Polishes. They make a product call Speed Glaze, it cleans,polishes and protects in one application.
No matter what cleaner/polish I use, I still apply at least one coat
of a non-cleaner type carnuba wax.
Meguire's, Eagle One or Burford are all good products.

 

Thats all I use is Meguiars. All of their products are some of the best on the market, and you can find them at almost any auo parts retail chain.

 

If your truck sits outside the sun will bake it off in about two weeks.
