Best liquid wax?
« on: 15 April 2012, 12:35 »
As per title chaps, whats the best liquid wax/lsp that you've used in terms of ease of use and durability? I currently use dodo juice hard waxes which are great but i think liquid waxes are more user friendly.

Cheers

Chemical Guys Butter Wet Wax is really nice - easy to apply and remove leaving a good deep finish. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wax/chemical-guys-butter-wet-wax/prod_141.html

Collinite 845 hands down is the quickest easiest and most durable liquid wax on the market.

Good shine too? If so then £14.95 is a bit of a bargain! :smiley:

Yes though it's more of a glassy reflective finish rather than a warm dripping Nuba finish but it's very easy to apply, goes on like butter and spreads very well and thin too.
Yes a true bargain for what you are getting.

In what sense? Application,durabilty?

915 is a paste wax, easy to apply and remove, nice finish, I've not done durabilty tests on it yet so cant comment on that one.

845 is like a gel when cold but once warmed through its a nice silky viscous liquid with cream colour tinge to it, applies super thin and goes on like butter, needs to be used with caution on hot/warmer sunny days as it can weld itself on and be a pain to remove if left too long,cures very quickly in these conditions, hence guy saying its very user friendly in the winter months due to lower temps etc.
I've seen a solid 9 months out of it but I'm sure it would go on for longer if I hadn't started testing other products from then onwards.
I use this for winter protection details, a good bang for buck wax imo.

How does Meguiars NXT Generation Tech Liquid Wax 2.0 (catchy name!!) compare to those mentioned above? It seems expensive in comparison.
