whats the best reasonably priced wax?
Discussion
Swissvax Onyx is a really good was that is about £70 for a big 200ml but if more of a daily then something like dodo juice hybrid ( also check out other dodo juice waxes) that has both natural waxes and sealants that is also very good.
Whatever wax you choose it is all in the preparation ie de-tar, clay bar and a pre-wax cleanser (dodo juice lime prime is good) as a cheap wax will look better than an expensive one if the surface isn't prepared properly and have spoken to lots of people over the years about how much money they have spent on expensive waxes that weren't very good but had never heard of a clay bar.

Probably not in the same league as some other stuff but I've not gone wrong with Collinite 476SS. It's very durable and gives a lovely shine. It can be tricky to put on but TBH I've never struggled despite other comments. At £30 it's great value wax too.
Collinite 915 is easier to apply than 476SS.

Without going off into the deep end this works really well and lasts: Poorboys 'Natty's Paste Wax'. £13 + change

I've been using 915 for ages. Lasts a long time and seems to form a decent protective layer. I redo the car when the beading begins to diminish.Collinite 915 is easier to apply than 476SS.
Just started using Bilt Hamber Double Speed Wax - works brilliantly:

Tried it after reading good reviews
Wax can be a risky topic with everyone having an opinion. Not many people will say what they spent money on is bad. Personally I use a wax 99% of the world wont of heard of but to people in the know they wouldn't use anything else, and trust me I’ve tried a lot of expensive waxes and learned I wasted my money from zymol to bouncers through lots of the list I go back to the same small and have tested so many waxes from them now from 100% synthetic waxes to high carnauba content to all sorts of wonderful combos. What I’ve learned is see if your happy use whatever you like. Don’t read too much into it unless you plan to be comparative with your car i.e. shows concourse etc. I currently do this with my old car and it’s a can drain away a lot of hours of your life but I love it. otherwise wash clay polish wax etc. is always going to get someone’s back up because you didn't take their advice so the best option is use what you like as you like or in some cases can afford perfect paint has cost me thousands and thousands in resprays just get products you like and enjoy using and enjoy the results don’t over think it
As said above, a lot is about personal choice.
For me, I use a brand called Jaywax. He is an everyday guy and still makes most of his wax in his home in wales.
Just brought out a new Ceramic wax which I have just been trying and so far so good! beads much better and lasts longer than other waxes I have tried before. All still reasonable prices too!

in defense Jays wax is a fledgling company so you cannot expect professional grade test or mix when they are entry level but personally i have tried his was i liked the content. id say one worth a watching.
zymol mother etc etc etc are all respectable brands iv used them all like them all as well cont say i wouldn't use them if i wasnt in the fortunate position im in.
ceramic coatings are a black art people like Gordon Muir yes i would sing his praises to the hill and recommend him to anyone but as for some of theses 300 quid polish and coatings beware, wet sanding back your car to fix a coating run isn't in everyone's comfort zone, for a weekend warrior wax is fantastic to look after the car invest in a 30-100 quid set up and im sure anyone will be happy with there result .
