What's the view on the best wax? I've heard a number of ppl on here talk about Zymol titanium wax as being the best... is it really worth 60 quid?

Yes and no....For Wax you can use any Wax that has a high Brazilian Carnuba (sp?) content - P21S is supposed ot be very good and is cheaper.

However it depends how you prep the car.

First of all use Dish Wash Liquid to thourghly wash the car - only do this once as it strips everything off all the old wax etc.


Next you need to prep the paint, you can either clay the car (difficult but best results) or use something like Zymols HD Cleanse, this really does a good job of feeding the paint, getting rid of water marks, weather marks etc and prepping it for polish and wax.

The next key thing if you are being a perfectionist is to use a Polymer base polish - this bonds with the paint, will give a fantastic shine and can last 6 to 12 months if protected by wax.

Next is the wax and as I said any high Bazilian Carnuba content Wax - I use Zymnol titanium but P21s great value for money.

And thats it in a nut shell - I can post more details and links if needed.
