i use the meguires carnuba wax the stuff in a squirt bottle. smells like banannas i'm tempted to eat some when i'm waxing the celi yummmmm hahaha
hahaha, i thought it was just me.. it DOES smell like bananas! thanks for all your inputs.. i just wanted to see which brand was better and such. thanks everybody!
Meguiars and Mothers have my votes
Meguiar's Cleaner Wax. Red bottle, 473 ML, is the absolute best wax I have ever used. I have Mothers, Turtle, all sorts of Carnuba from many leading company's, and other Meguiars Products (including the Tech stuff) but I push the Cleaner Wax more than anything. I picked mine up at Wal-Mart. It's in a maroon bottle. My 1995 with elbow grease and this wax:
Experiment though. But I love this wax to death. Pick yourself up a good applicator pad. Don't be spendy. You can get good ones for 1-2 bucks.

use Zymol Polish first, then Meguiars NXT GEN TechWax...make your car look like a black mirror. make sure you use applicator pads and polishing rags...dont use terry cloth towels on a black car...thats a No NO!
I use the Meguiar's NXT TechWax too. It comes off of the car very easily in comparison to most other waxes I've used, and it provides the best shine out of what I've tried. >

New Toyota project coming soon...
Why shouldn't you use terry cloths on a black car? I use terry's occasionally, but I mostly use microfiber cloths.
And for drying your car I do not recommend using any cloth-based materials. I highly recommend the Black Magic Chamois. Its 7 or 8 dollars at Wal-Mart and comes in a plastic protective case. I'm sure you can find other chamois for cheaper, but this is the only one I've had experience with and I am greatly satisfied with it. Just toss it on your car and pull off and it dries!

I use Max Wax by Simonez.....I don't use anything else!
I don't buy into that NXT tech wax. So far it's not any better than any wax I've used before. It's just trendy and flashy with pretty colors to attract the tuner culture (Nxt generation. next generation). It's not like the ingredients are any different. Still, I love my Meguiar's Cleaner Wax.

I was gunna say, I have about 20 dif waxes in my garage, I have tried them all on all sorts of dif cars, as long as yuo do it right, they will all turn out great.. also to help remove lil scratches an such, get a clay polish, or even a clay bar will help.. but thats more for a fading of the paint.
Wash with a car was solution, clean rims/tires, dry car with a chamois, wash windows with a microfiber towel, clay bar, polish, wax. That's my steps.

The new armorall is reformulated and will not crack. Its actually a very good product now. I use that and turtle wax leather cleaner/conditioner spray on my seats. Meguiars leather conditioner/cleaners are good too. Also meguiares natural shine interior stuff is good.
use hair removal wax dip
