you are 100% correct Meguiar's should do some sponsorship since you just gave them free advertisement to over 150,000 viewers. Thanks for the review by the way. A good test would be a revisit of the same application 3 weeks later.
keep pushing,I bet if you e-mail them and tell them you are going to change products and review their competitor they might toss you a bone, just a thought. Your product reviews are welcomed by all of us out here.
Very nice you took the time to compare these! I do have some remarks though... 1. Why did you use 3 paste waxes and one liquid? You can also get NXT Tech Wax as a paste. It would have made it even more accurate. 2. Beading/sheeting isn't everything. Yes, it looks cool, but in fact it tells very little about the quality. Basically you can judge a wax on 2 criteria: gloss and protection. I know from personal experience that the Gold Class works best on dark cars and gives the deepest gloss/reflection. The NXT works great on lighter cars and stays on the longest. I must admit I haven't tried the cleaner wax and ultimate wax. 3. It would be nice to add the differences in the type of wax. The cleanerwax is a synthetic all in one wax (cleaner, glaze and wax). The NXT is a synthetic sealant, made to give the most durable protection. The Gold Class is a carnauba wax, made from natural materials, giving the best shine but little durability. The Ultimate is a synthetic/carnauba hybrid wax combining a deeper gloss compared to the NXT and more durability compared to the gold Class. These remarks aside I still think you did a nice video and I really like your collection of cars! P.s. excuse my bad spelling/writing. I'm from the Netherlands and English isn't my mother language.
Thank you for the summary of the Meguiars' products. I probably need to go with a synthetic and/or sealant because I'm not diligent enough to wax my car very often.
willy wanta I would go with the NXT. I use it and it really deepens the color and lasts a lot longer than other waxes. Plus it buffs off really easy, too.
From what I've read throughout the years, a carnauba wax will work best on a show car/ car that doesn't see the elements too much. This is because when it heats up the carnuba molecules tend to "open" up and trap dust. That's why cars are dusty when they've just been polished. The synthetic type waxes won't do this and resist the elements better... Down side is that it won't have that same deep colorful shine as the carnuba.
Here is the Turtle Wax Version of this test, Check it out! The Difference Between Turtle Wax Hard Shell, Carnuba Cleaner Wax, and Ice Premium Synthetic wax
hey I love your videos,and knowing your not a pro,you even said it i think,you do a great job,but there's only 1 thing that I cringed at,is when after you clayed the you used you hand with your watch and ring to test the surface,that's a huge!!! NO NO in our industry,BUT!!!!! NICE JOB LIKE ALWAYS
They All look identical. I think the lesson here is to clay bar your car, and then the wax doesn't matter too much? I use Nu Finish, and it works awesome! ... I think I'll invest in a clay bar for next year ;-)
Excellent review. Nice 01 EBP base & looks to be either 90 or a 91 frost white 3rd gen, Si 4WS? One question tho, why didn't you just leave the control sections alone after removing the tape? Great job regardless its still a lot better review than a majority that I've seen.
Always take off all rings before wash/waxing a car...the wedding ring too, if it still comes off! Thanks for the vid. Just bought a black mazda3 hatch and want to keep it as nice as possible for long as possible. Peace to ya! I did include a thumbs up.
Great job but you should have wiped tape lines of after water test to stop any potential cross contamination great job anyway just bought n X t paste wax
Nice test, i use a lot of Meguiars for detailing my own and others vehicles. The last two are full polymer waxes ;so it makes sense that the water beads better and flows off better. The cleaner wax has its place if the car has embedded dirt if someone isn't inclined to clay first, and its cheap. The gold class has no cleaners in it but it has some carnauba and some polymer so you can get more depth on dark metallic paints.plus better protection The last two have no carnauba so you wont get much depth. All i noticed is the ring and watch. I actually took a Meguiars seminar when i trained at a car wash. Jewelry is not accepted. Just saying
I never heard cleaner wax hurts clear coat i you use top brands. I know cleaner wax has solvents and slight polishes in them that prevent you from building them. Any additional coats remove the previous one. Waxes like Gold Class and Mothers Gold can be used after a cleaner wax because they contain no solvents or abrasives.. I love those two after a cleaner wax or polymer wax on darker colors.
Nice job on this video. I actually use the professional version of tech wax 2.0 which is called synthetic sealant 2.0. Amazon has it for $40 but it will last you an extremely long time and it lasts on the car a long time too. Great for keeping bug guts and bird droppings from eating into your paint. I like to use the carnauba wax, then sealer and finish it with 'Last Touch' detailing spray to really protect the clear coat from the elements. Water definitely beads off nicely and car washes after are easier to perform because dirt does not stick. Again great job on video, hope you get more thumbs up and hits!
it seems strange that even a detailer doesn't know that the angle of water and how you spray it will cause differentiations in how the water beads you even can create beads on a surface that has nothing on it
Saw no difference... That you think the water repels faster on the more premium side seems like you may be looking for a difference. The control side on the right side seems to repel just as much or not that much of a difference. I think you got the right idea of doing the different sections, but the section widths are too small for us to see any discernible difference. The shine all looks the same. So in order for us to see the difference in water repelling, the width of the sample sections need to be wider. So next time, maybe you can just do 2 waxes on the hood and 2 waxes on the trunk? THANKS for taking the time to do this!
Yeah, saw no difference (brightness and water repel). Well, at least he said which ones are easier and harder to take off. If all are the same, I think i will go for gold class.
i guess without removing the blue tape or without buffing it off, we would see clearer the differences, as when you have buff off the strip ... i think some of the wax residue has contaminated the blue strip area, thus from my eye point, i see a polished car hood, unable to determined which area is stripped to the core and which has the highest water repellent. Just my 2 cent, i would love to see more of your experiment.
Awesome comparison! I just got a brand new black convertible, and I have been so overwhelmed with wax choices. You nailed it right on with the whole science experiment concept. Decisions are made easier because of people like you. Thank you!
yeah the tech and ultimate are better . ive been using the ultimate for the last 2 months on my white car and water will not stick . the gold class carnuaba is better for the shine . Ive just got a tin of auto glym High def wax and going to try that out soon . turtle wax is the shittest stuff you could get lol . maybe mothers is good too ?
Beading and sheeting looked exactly the same for all products. Your real question should be, "Is the NXT or the Ultimate really 2 - 3 times better than the 'cheap' stuff?"
GREAT video, I just purchased the Ultimate Wax because of your video and it's amazing. Thank you for taking the time to review the different types of wax and saving us tons of time.
Hairul Nizam Mohd Hussin I appreciate it, they have pros that do all sorts of great stuff, just never see any of it online. Eagle ONe has sent me lots of stuff for free though, smaller company but great!
Ultimate and tech will really make your car stand out from just cleaner wax. I can tell you that first hand. Gold also does a stunning job. Id never suggest cheaping out on cleaner wax, just spend the extra 5 or 10 and get one of the higher line products.
Great comparison Ty, my opinion is there wasn't that dramatic of a difference, it was only slight, if I had to choose one I would just take the one that was easy to remove, save some elbow power , but thats just me. :)
Hey, I see your in to this "waxing stuff"... I was there a few years back myself. You did a great job on the video comparison however I think the following information will be pertinent to you. Couple of things for you to know. The true test on the water beading is how well it runs off the car... not what stays on the car. I won't bore you with molecular structure of water and surface tension relationships but in terms we all understand water as you know will seeks its own level. The molecules stick together unless they are disrupted via surface tension of some sort. Depending of the gravitational pull the surface tensions is either strong enough to hold it in place (ie. the beads of water on the hood of a car) or the molecules release to again seek its own level. OK, how does this apply to Paint and wax? Well with the absence of surface tension the water will flow off the car and actually not bead up at all. But a coat of oil on the car and see how it won't bead up at all. What causes the water to stay on the car is tiny little imperfections like contaminants from the road, sky etc. as well as the hardness of water itself. Then you say what about the "freshly waxed car". Well to your hand it feels smooth as glass but the reality is there is minute clumping of wax on freshly waxed car also giving the water something to hold on to. So run off is better test. You'll also notice that there are some droplets bigger than others. Long explanation but bigger droplets are a result of the contaminates and hard minerals in the water itself and the size of the imperfection the water it being held up by. For fun, buy a gallon of distilled water and then use that on a similar test and you'll notice a lot more runoff because the hard water deposits in the water are not there to attach to other contaminants/surface tension. So your real test is not what stays on the hood but what rolls off as well as how long it last and also what I think is the most important aspect is "ease of use" and "depth and richness of shine". Any which way, the wax is used to form a layer of protection between atmospheric conditions and the clear coat top of paint. Clear coat protects the paint itself now so we use wax to protect the clear coat. Things like Industrial waste and hard chemicals and minerals in water and other crap in our air make an acidic compound that when left on your car etch the surface of your clear coat or paint and lead to various types of oxidation. We want our wax to protect us from that oxidation while giving us a beautiful shine with great depth to it. These newer polymer waxes have less microscopic imperfection once applied that allow less surface tension to be present therefore more water runoff while providing longer protection as a better barrier to the outside elements and sun. Lastly, as a tip to your fans. When washing your car don't use a spray nozzle on the final rinse. Take off the nozzle and turn on the water to med/low so its coming out slow enough to not be disrupted at the hose end and gently guide it over the hood and systematically work your self around the car over the windows down the doors etc. You'll find you barely have to dry your car as the water stays "heavily" attached to its self and rolls off nicely.
That's because meguiars waxes have crappy durability (Meguiars gold might get you 2 months at best). Get either Collinite 845 (an easy to apply and remove wax that lasts 5 months) or Collinite 476 (a harder to apply and remove wax that lasts 8 months). P.S - I'm a car detailer and Collinite's what I use for my biz.
ammo? The only problem with that is because they are pro detailing items, you cant buy them in normal stores which means ordering. I try to help the average joe with this channel and test things you can buy at any local store. Most people will never order away for car care products but will run down to Walmart or a car parts store for their items. Maybe in the future I will expand the channel but for now, I plan to stick to this setup.
Dude I apologize when I made that comment it was during the 1st few seconds of the vid and the roof & hood looked exactly like my 2004 Rsx. As well as the color, that looks EXACTLY like the artic blue pearl my rsx is. Even ur mirrors look like rsx. Great looking car regardless as well as that nissan please tell me if u got a clear bra on that nissan
umm no? lol Ive never heard that before. In my lifetime....34 years haha Ive owned 3 red cars now. Never have I heard that or worried about that. My 370z currently has the Meguiars Gold Class on it but plan to apply either Tech/Ultimate or the new Griots Garage Best of class wax to it. All should make it really stand out! I just gotta get time to apply it, being as I work for UPS, its really about to crank up here work wise.
are you sure? why would they make it a wax detailer when it comes with the clay bar? it doesn't make much sense to add wax while trying to remove dirt and debris stuck on the paint
@@packapunchie Ye pretty sure as it is a detailer like auto finess or autoglyms products. In my opinion although I see what your saying it is just to lubricate. Doesn't matter if it has wax in or not. It is just a wax maintenance spray so has minimal impact by time you wipe you car down, pre wax, wax and use sealant. They clay is just to remove the contaminents not the wax so you could use it with out stripping old wax off depending on the quality of the finish thats on your car.
sorry buddy, didnt think about getting in front. Not like it matters alot though. You can easily tell, thats why I just walk around. All do great but your synthetics at the end repel faster which is what you expect. Still, Ive used them all and can say they all do pretty good. The cleaner just doesnt last very long and doesnt make the paint pop as much .
It's nice to see how water runs off it. The sheen on them looked generally the same, not sure if that was just from the camera though. I'd love to see how these compare to sun exposure and weather and stuff. It'd be cool if you could get like a painted test panel or something and apply these waxes side by side and let them wear outdoors for a couple of weeks or months.
Help please. My towel had dish soap on it by accident and I cleaned a small section. I guess it took the wax it but it left some swirl marks. Is that what it is suppose to look like without wax? Can I just put wax back on the section and the swirl will be gone?
If the swirls are bad you'll have to buff it with a buffer. Cutting compound then swirl remover, which takes a layer of clearcoat with it. If the paint has a lot of surface scratches then it may need to be wet sanded. Truth be told, every new car could use a buff. If you ever look at the paint you'll see what's known as orange peels. Because the paint isn't smooth like glass, there's a lot of irregularities that looks like an orange peel.
the gold class worked the best. You can see the in depth glow of the caranuba and you can see the strip is the driest of them all too. The NXT is good too, it's just a lab created polymer that's definitely better than it's original, you just can't beat that caranuba tho. Thanks
For most people, that is sound advice. Just make sure that if you get cheap wax, that it isn't a pain to remove (some of the older waxes were a pain to remove).
I have used Liquid Glass for 30+ years and have never found anything that's as good. The prep is about the same but I do buff the car before waxing. Thanks for the time and work.
its ok, im no pro either. You really see the difference overtime and the carnuba will pop on my cars much more than the synthetics (tech wax and ultimate). All 4 waxes were fresh, they better not suck that quickly:)
Acc0rd79 So which Would you most recommend? The gold? I couldn't tell from the video either, but you said the gold wax was easier to remove and it has the carnuba and makes it look better... or whatever. lol. Sorry, I don't really have any experience with this. I just bought the red one the other day and was planning on washing/waxing my car tomorrow. I'm down to take it back and get something better though.
***** I enjoy that wet look to the wax that makes it pop more so I like the carnuba but for my cars that have to sit in the sun all day long, I use the Ultimate or Tech wax because they are synthetic which gives me longer lasting protection. But, my 2 garage cars always have carnuba based wax.
I've used the gold class for years and will continue to use it. I tried the ultimate wax and others but keep going back to the gold class. To me it provides the best shine
Advice from decades of professional experience. Do Not Wear Jewelry Watches or Belts With Buckles ..!!! A velcro belt will also cover buttons and snaps.
Great video. I am always standing in the store wondering what is the difference between waxes. I figured it was same product different packing. Except the clearer wax. Thank you for a great video. One trick I have learned over the years which most people probably know already if add a little water on top of the wax in the container it makes it easier to use. Just a little.
Brilliant comparison. Very unbiased and fair. Perhaps the video doesn't show it all, but from what I can see they all have virtually the exact same effect. Would be interesting to know if any lasted longer
Thanks. Personally I'm a massive fan of Scholl Concepts at the moment. Absolutely miles ahead of Meguires and Mothers if you want to try something else. Also the answer is no, I don't get paid by them or have any connection, I just love cars and passing on knowledge.
I concur that you are absolutely correct about the little or no differences between the Meguiar's. waxes and water beading from the water spray test. I usually use the wax to shield the paint from dirt and get a little shine, not what it does for water.
Cuál sería la será más recomendada para mí que mi carro está expuesto al aire y polvo, además en mi trabajo también al sol. He probado algunas semisinteticas con silicón y otras de carnauba pero duran muy poco a la primer lavada prácticamente. Uso shampoo gold class. Acabo de descontaminar el auto por lo que busco una mejor protección.
Excellent review! I have tried all of them except the Ultimate. Tech Wax 2.0 is some awesome stuff! I mainly use Liquid Glass $29.00 for 1 quart. It really shines and gives a Brilliant Finish!!! But I am always trying different brands? I am now looking for the best compounds??? Any Suggestions??? 1.Light to Medium 2. Medium to Heavy.
Thank you for posting! I am a Maguires Fan! I have a Black 2013 Maxima and I use their Gold Class Car Wash, Superior Gloss, Quik Wax Detailer and Mist, Mirror Glaze #7 and #9..... It's SERIOUS BUSINESS with my 🚘...Guess you can tell 😂. I have a buffer machine but I haven't used it yet and by me living in an apartment, I have to use a Car Cover. My question is how long does it usually take for you to buff your car on the regular? Also, I have clear coat scratches. Which product do I use for that?
Not finding the Cleaner Wax was a sign. So I put the Gold Class on the whole hood & Ultimate on the roof. I can say the Gold does pop & the Ultimate really pops. I ended up waxing 1 side of my truck with Gold wax & the other side with Ultimate wax. Now its just a matter of which last longer.
I belive the dullness of bare paint next to the waxed sections is the residue of the masking tape. Just look at the original sections at the outside, the colour and gloss are virtually the same with waxed sections.
In your opinion which wax is better for black car (under 1 years old), tech wax 2.0, ultimate liquid wax, or turtle wax ice liquid wax? compared to the price, durability, and shine. The weather is hot and sometimes rain here (Indonesia). Great videos btw hahaha Thanks!
All I have is a beater I got for free and fixed up. It had barely a scratch. Still, I do take care of it. Last summer I washed and waxed it (cheap orange cloured wash & wax combo). Next summer I'll use turtle wax because I have it. I don't believe in spending all that money though I can. Just my two cents.
Mate just detail cars every day on price if that's what you want. Stop messing around with four waxes on one bonnet. Decontamination, wash, clay, polish, sealant, wax, glaze, glass, wheels on and off. Dry vacuum or wet carpet shampoo, trim clean and dress, engine bay and boot, door shuts. The list goes on. One good job leads to another. Meguire used to make an ultra safe alloy wheel brush. I used it the tip came off and I scratched a client Bentley wheel.
Cleaner Wax is called that for a reason. Certain people don't clay bar their car to smooth it out, nor get rid of residual contaminants/pollution that the wrong kinds of soaps (e.g., dish soap) or a bad wash may not have cleared. So cleaner waxes help to bring those contaminants to the surface before you wipe it away, thus cleaning and protecting the paint. On the other hand, the non-cleaner wax, expects some serious notion of cleaning before application. That said, this isn't a comparison of apples-to-apples. They have different purposes, which you might want to consider. In your case you supposedly cleaned your car correctly, so a Cleaner Wax may be pointless. You may want to consider another video of not cleaning your car properly, nor using a claybar (I wouldn't recommend it, since it could also be damaging).
nice video but I would say the most important thing is how the water seeps/sheets away not beads up, because ultimately thats what's you want how quickly the water runs off...when it beads up the water can just run a little bit but still sit there... when it slides down and runs off in one big sheet THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT... so with that said which do you think sheeded Off the best overall?
There's more to a wax's performance profile than beading. Carnuba lends more depth but is high maintenance, cleaner wax is good for cleaning, really like the 3m product. A good progressive buffing is a must at least once. Hell even Ferrari come with orange peel. Nxt 2.0 is my favorite all around with Zaino a close 2nd
So I've used all of these and I'll say that I decided on the Gold Class Carnuba over the Tech wax because the Gold Class with Carnuba actually lasts more than a few washes. The Tech stuff is fine. It goes on easy and comes off fast, but it only lasts 3-4 washes. Why do you think it's so hard to see when applied and so easy to remove? At that cost, it's just not lasting long enough. I can't see waxing my car every month to keep it protected. Anything with Carnuba is going to last you.
Great video been looking at the Meguiars range went & got the ultimate paste wax awesome much better then turtle wax ice paste wax i normally use. Ill be watching for more awesome updates all the way from the U.K :)
Hi, I´ve seen this video and I´d like to make you a suggestion about doing this comparison between Meguiar's and Sonax carnauba wax. Have you ever thought abou it? In some countries like mine (Peru) Meguiar's isn´t sold, so it would be cool having other alternatives.
that is really nice to share wax . just only one point .I'm really can't see how different on it .. I just wanna choose uh. Gold class and TechNX 2.0 . but really can't see how different it.
love mequires products been using for years on my 01 Nissan maxima se ultimate is excellent and there professional mirror glaze is really good which tire gel do you like better mequires endurance or armor all extreme tire gel???i have bridge stone potenza 970as pole position
Tech Wax 2.0 isn't even wax. It's a sealant. Based on this video alone the Gold Class appears to have the most shine from what I can see. But, the Tech Wax (being a sealant, not a wax) should outlast all the others. I guess it's just personal preference for everyone. I just use the liquid bottle of cleaner wax on the whole car right after winter, then I'll use the liquid bottle of gold class around July, and everything in between I simply use spray wax. However... I do use the gold class paste wax on my headlights clean lenses.
I use the cleaner wax more to get of gunk, should there be any, and deeper scratches. Then used to go over it with Gold on whole car. Looks like I will be switching to the 2,0 or Ultimate. Also, shout out on the 4th gen Prelude. I actually have one now I got from original owner with only 60,000 miles. I am going to sell though cause I just don't drive it often and have too many cars. It was used as a show car and been a blast. Love those gen 4 Preludes!
+Acc0rd79Thanks for the time man. Really can see the difference. But, I have a 2012 black mustang and it needs some wax. You know if there scratch and swirl lines works well?
Hi, I am from Brazil (sorry my english, i speak portuguese) and here the ultimate wax cost USD 120,00 dollars ! The Tech Wax 2.0 cost 80,00 dollars ! But, they are the best wax we can by at the market. The second choise is "Mother wax", red bottle, cost less, but have less quality. Great video.
" you can actually tell it's been waxed!" Holy shit, get the president on the line, did this news just break? What will break first, the internet, or stock market?
I'm a massive Maguires fan I've used all the budget stuff and onwards. Maguires is worth spending the money on. if you got more money and in the UK you could try kleen freaks or even better use poorboys (it's called that because it's your pockets afterwards). I use a light degreaser then shampoo next I use clay bar then snow foam dry the off and apply Maguires compound, Polish then tech wax I am stunned every time I look at my car if you spend the time it will always be a real head turner
thanks for uploading this excellent video and spending that mondey also taking time doing this for your fans, but since you already have all these waxe's could you do the same test on Black metallic or acrylic colour Please ! *** anyone who's watching this Thumbs up if you want it **
Why not clean / do a paint prep like using a new blue color paint prep that you can get from AutoZone or O’Reillys? Of course after washing to remove any cross traffic that maybe on the car from driving around town. That would be a much better solution than the Palmolive and is actually designed for automotive paint
I am giving you a thumb up because of the hard work; however, I am not seeing any major difference of course a flood of water is different, but a mist of water is nothing different - I'll stay with the Gold....
I don't mess with the cans. I'd rather Deal with the liquid in the bottles. I've used the cleaner wax it does ok. but I like the meguires wax. I can't find anymore of it so I'm having to switch to the cleaner wax. I've clayed my truck Friday the 13th waxed it this makes the second time since this passed december. an it's to a mirror finish. water gets on it, it runs right off an beads up nicely. when I first clayed it I compound it polished it then used the wax. Turned out really good. but since I did it agian the second time I didn't go with compound or the Polish I went to the clay then waxed it. it is 10 xs better than when I first clayed my truck. it has really brightened an shined the paint marvously. took Alot of the oxidation that was starting to set on off.
I know it’s an older video, but with NXT 2.0 if you let it cure for 24 hours...I’ve found it lasts longer than traditional waxes. Easier to wash with just a QD in between.
A cleaner/wax or cleaning/sealant would offer some level of cleaning ability using either chemical cleaning agents, solvents and/or some type of abrasives and often times a combination of all three. Cleaner/Waxes are also referred to as One-Step products or All-In-One products. Cleaner/waxes can be used to restore neglected paint to good to excellent condition depending upon how bad of condition the paint is in and the cleaning ability or strength of the cleaning agents in the cleaner/wax. A finishing wax or finishing sealant would not contain any ingredients with the intended ability to clean or abrade the paint. Products in this category should only be used on paint in excellent or brand new condition or neglected paints that have been previously cleaned and polished and thus restored to new or excellent condition. (Autogeek.net) I wouldn't pay as much attention to the cleaner wax as it is used for a different type of job. The other 3 waxes are great to compare and I think you did a good job doing that!
I found no matter what the car or my technique the cleaner wax lasts about 2 weeks but it also puts in instant swirl marks/scratches. Maybe this is due to cleaning ability or the micro abrasives are too harsh. Either way wont be buying again. I am trialling NXT tech wax 2.0 right now, seems to protect well 1 week on so far. We'll see. The one to beat was my sealant - Armorall for $9 as it lasts months
Ultimate paste vs nxt 2.0 , which one is better sir? Long lasting for rain and uv protection, and how long for time? 3 month or 6 month for apply againt this wax? Tq sir
the trick is 1 coat of show car glaze, followed by 2 coats of nxt2.0 each allowed to dry overnight. (the longer the better) but ammo skin and cream might be better.
There are two other consider, cleaning and longevity. Theses waxes have different properties by design. Shedding water is the only common characteristic. The cleaner wax has an abrasives where the others don’t. Also the actual wax properties are different which affects the longevity. So the water test is fine but you’re only examining one of the characteristics of the products. You should do a cleaner and longevity test to be fair.
can you please try abd compare the ammonyc products?? they are more expensive but they are pro detailing products and I would like to see the diference with meguiars.
I didn't see any different in between them in the video
Mohamed Elghenae neither do i
Mohamed Elghenae waste of time . I wish the airplane was louder. I need my 12+minutes back.
the difference might be how long they last
seeing it in a video does not do it justice
maybe on 4k with a 4k screen.
Mohamed Elghenae.... This showed absolutely nothing
you are 100% correct Meguiar's should do some sponsorship since you just gave them free advertisement to over 150,000 viewers. Thanks for the review by the way. A good test would be a revisit of the same application 3 weeks later.
greenmarine5 I wish, would save me a few bucks!
keep pushing,I bet if you e-mail them and tell them you are going to change products and review their competitor they might toss you a bone, just a thought. Your product reviews are welcomed by all of us out here.
Very nice you took the time to compare these! I do have some remarks though...
1. Why did you use 3 paste waxes and one liquid? You can also get NXT Tech Wax as a paste. It would have made it even more accurate.
2. Beading/sheeting isn't everything. Yes, it looks cool, but in fact it tells very little about the quality. Basically you can judge a wax on 2 criteria: gloss and protection. I know from personal experience that the Gold Class works best on dark cars and gives the deepest gloss/reflection. The NXT works great on lighter cars and stays on the longest. I must admit I haven't tried the cleaner wax and ultimate wax.
3. It would be nice to add the differences in the type of wax. The cleanerwax is a synthetic all in one wax (cleaner, glaze and wax). The NXT is a synthetic sealant, made to give the most durable protection. The Gold Class is a carnauba wax, made from natural materials, giving the best shine but little durability. The Ultimate is a synthetic/carnauba hybrid wax combining a deeper gloss compared to the NXT and more durability compared to the gold Class.
These remarks aside I still think you did a nice video and I really like your collection of cars!
P.s. excuse my bad spelling/writing. I'm from the Netherlands and English isn't my mother language.
well said...lol
Thank you for the summary of the Meguiars' products. I probably need to go with a synthetic and/or sealant because I'm not diligent enough to wax my car very often.
thanks. I think i'm going for NXT or ultimate
willy wanta I would go with the NXT. I use it and it really deepens the color and lasts a lot longer than other waxes. Plus it buffs off really easy, too.
P
This is how to do a properly informatve video, thank you!
The cheapest wax repel water faster to me in the red can ha ha ha
From what I've read throughout the years, a carnauba wax will work best on a show car/ car that doesn't see the elements too much. This is because when it heats up the carnuba molecules tend to "open" up and trap dust. That's why cars are dusty when they've just been polished. The synthetic type waxes won't do this and resist the elements better... Down side is that it won't have that same deep colorful shine as the carnuba.
Here is the Turtle Wax Version of this test, Check it out!
The Difference Between Turtle Wax Hard Shell, Carnuba Cleaner Wax, and Ice Premium Synthetic wax
hey I love your videos,and knowing your not a pro,you even said it i think,you do a great job,but there's only 1 thing that I cringed at,is when after you clayed the you used you hand with your watch and ring to test the surface,that's a huge!!! NO NO in our industry,BUT!!!!! NICE JOB LIKE ALWAYS
Josh Mori good thing i only work on my own cars then;) Dont worry my hands arent ever dragging on the car.
+Acc0rd79 ok,,great videos though man
They All look identical. I think the lesson here is to clay bar your car, and then the wax doesn't matter too much? I use Nu Finish, and it works awesome! ... I think I'll invest in a clay bar for next year ;-)
themeloninc how’s the nu finish ? Is it better than gold class? I bought gold class and nu but haven’t been able to test them yet due to the hurricane
I had a bottle of Nufinish back in 1990s. It worked nicely, but was a pain to remove once it dried. It found its way into every crack and crevice.
Looks exactly the same. Water runs off the same, it beads the same on your video when you go on both sides. You definitely saved people money!!
The cam don't show much, but thanks for your hard work bro! and Great job.
You should have kept the tape strips on.
My thoughts
Excellent review. Nice 01 EBP base & looks to be either 90 or a 91 frost white 3rd gen, Si 4WS? One question tho, why didn't you just leave the control sections alone after removing the tape? Great job regardless its still a lot better review than a majority that I've seen.
Thanks, always trying to do new things and show results of products all the time to help people not spend so much on their own cars!
great vid what bout Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax vs Meguiar's G18211 Ultimate Paste Wax
Always take off all rings before wash/waxing a car...the wedding ring too, if it still comes off!
Thanks for the vid. Just bought a black mazda3 hatch and want to keep it as nice as possible for long as possible.
Peace to ya! I did include a thumbs up.
Great job but you should have wiped tape lines of after water test to stop any potential cross contamination great job anyway just bought n X t paste wax
Nice test, i use a lot of Meguiars for detailing my own and others vehicles. The last two are full polymer waxes ;so it makes sense that the water beads better and flows off better. The cleaner wax has its place if the car has embedded dirt if someone isn't inclined to clay first, and its cheap. The gold class has no cleaners in it but it has some carnauba and some polymer so you can get more depth on dark metallic paints.plus better protection The last two have no carnauba so you wont get much depth. All i noticed is the ring and watch. I actually took a Meguiars seminar when i trained at a car wash. Jewelry is not accepted. Just saying
I heard Cleaner wax hurts clear coat; the Gold Class won't hurt right? I want that hydrophobic effect, so, dust won't cling on the car.
Thanks.
I never heard cleaner wax hurts clear coat i you use top brands. I know cleaner wax has solvents and slight polishes in them that prevent you from building them. Any additional coats remove the previous one. Waxes like Gold Class and Mothers Gold can be used after a cleaner wax because they contain no solvents or abrasives.. I love those two after a cleaner wax or polymer wax on darker colors.
i actually felt like nxt 2.0 worked the best in this video, seemed the most clear and beaded up real quick.
Nice job on this video. I actually use the professional version of tech wax 2.0 which is called synthetic sealant 2.0. Amazon has it for $40 but it will last you an extremely long time and it lasts on the car a long time too. Great for keeping bug guts and bird droppings from eating into your paint. I like to use the carnauba wax, then sealer and finish it with 'Last Touch' detailing spray to really protect the clear coat from the elements. Water definitely beads off nicely and car washes after are easier to perform because dirt does not stick. Again great job on video, hope you get more thumbs up and hits!
it seems strange that even a detailer doesn't know that the angle of water and how you spray it will cause differentiations in how the water beads you even can create beads on a surface that has nothing on it
Saw no difference... That you think the water repels faster on the more premium side seems like you may be looking for a difference. The control side on the right side seems to repel just as much or not that much of a difference. I think you got the right idea of doing the different sections, but the section widths are too small for us to see any discernible difference. The shine all looks the same. So in order for us to see the difference in water repelling, the width of the sample sections need to be wider. So next time, maybe you can just do 2 waxes on the hood and 2 waxes on the trunk? THANKS for taking the time to do this!
M3Armand Gotta agree with this, I didn't see much a distinct difference. Seems like a placebo due to the price factors.
Yeah, saw no difference (brightness and water repel). Well, at least he said which ones are easier and harder to take off. If all are the same, I think i will go for gold class.
i guess without removing the blue tape or without buffing it off, we would see clearer the differences, as when you have buff off the strip ... i think some of the wax residue has contaminated the blue strip area, thus from my eye point, i see a polished car hood, unable to determined which area is stripped to the core and which has the highest water repellent. Just my 2 cent, i would love to see more of your experiment.
Awesome comparison! I just got a brand new black convertible, and I have been so overwhelmed with wax choices. You nailed it right on with the whole science experiment concept. Decisions are made easier because of people like you. Thank you!
yeah the tech and ultimate are better . ive been using the ultimate for the last 2 months on my white car and water will not stick . the gold class carnuaba is better for the shine . Ive just got a tin of auto glym High def wax and going to try that out soon . turtle wax is the shittest stuff you could get lol . maybe mothers is good too ?
Beading and sheeting looked exactly the same for all products. Your real question should be, "Is the NXT or the Ultimate really 2 - 3 times better than the 'cheap' stuff?"
Beading is for virgins, I just want to know how long the waxes last.
GREAT video, I just purchased the Ultimate Wax because of your video and it's amazing. Thank you for taking the time to review the different types of wax and saving us tons of time.
Robert Rodriguez always glad to help fellow average jo's! haha
Meguiar's really need to pay your advertising money man! I bought myself the Ultimate wax because of your video! Hey MG - do sponsor this guy.. :)
Hairul Nizam Mohd Hussin I appreciate it, they have pros that do all sorts of great stuff, just never see any of it online. Eagle ONe has sent me lots of stuff for free though, smaller company but great!
The Carnauba had a deeper color but the paste popped more IMO
Ultimate and tech will really make your car stand out from just cleaner wax. I can tell you that first hand. Gold also does a stunning job. Id never suggest cheaping out on cleaner wax, just spend the extra 5 or 10 and get one of the higher line products.
Great comparison Ty, my opinion is there wasn't that dramatic of a difference, it was only slight, if I had to choose one I would just take the one that was easy to remove, save some elbow power , but thats just me. :)
Hey, I see your in to this "waxing stuff"... I was there a few years back myself. You did a great job on the video comparison however I think the following information will be pertinent to you. Couple of things for you to know. The true test on the water beading is how well it runs off the car... not what stays on the car. I won't bore you with molecular structure of water and surface tension relationships but in terms we all understand water as you know will seeks its own level. The molecules stick together unless they are disrupted via surface tension of some sort. Depending of the gravitational pull the surface tensions is either strong enough to hold it in place (ie. the beads of water on the hood of a car) or the molecules release to again seek its own level. OK, how does this apply to Paint and wax? Well with the absence of surface tension the water will flow off the car and actually not bead up at all. But a coat of oil on the car and see how it won't bead up at all. What causes the water to stay on the car is tiny little imperfections like contaminants from the road, sky etc. as well as the hardness of water itself. Then you say what about the "freshly waxed car". Well to your hand it feels smooth as glass but the reality is there is minute clumping of wax on freshly waxed car also giving the water something to hold on to. So run off is better test. You'll also notice that there are some droplets bigger than others. Long explanation but bigger droplets are a result of the contaminates and hard minerals in the water itself and the size of the imperfection the water it being held up by. For fun, buy a gallon of distilled water and then use that on a similar test and you'll notice a lot more runoff because the hard water deposits in the water are not there to attach to other contaminants/surface tension. So your real test is not what stays on the hood but what rolls off as well as how long it last and also what I think is the most important aspect is "ease of use" and "depth and richness of shine". Any which way, the wax is used to form a layer of protection between atmospheric conditions and the clear coat top of paint. Clear coat protects the paint itself now so we use wax to protect the clear coat. Things like Industrial waste and hard chemicals and minerals in water and other crap in our air make an acidic compound that when left on your car etch the surface of your clear coat or paint and lead to various types of oxidation. We want our wax to protect us from that oxidation while giving us a beautiful shine with great depth to it. These newer polymer waxes have less microscopic imperfection once applied that allow less surface tension to be present therefore more water runoff while providing longer protection as a better barrier to the outside elements and sun.
Lastly, as a tip to your fans. When washing your car don't use a spray nozzle on the final rinse. Take off the nozzle and turn on the water to med/low so its coming out slow enough to not be disrupted at the hose end and gently guide it over the hood and systematically work your self around the car over the windows down the doors etc. You'll find you barely have to dry your car as the water stays "heavily" attached to its self and rolls off nicely.
best explanation and very well said!
Scott Sarver bloody oath thanks mate! Great information
Paragraphs are your friend. Or, they should be...
So which wax would you recommend on or off this list?
i compare chemical guys banana wax and maguire carnoaba wax and im happy with maguire also really works on my bmw and it really shine
Only thing missing is a durability test because they all repel water pretty good.
That's because meguiars waxes have crappy durability (Meguiars gold might get you 2 months at best). Get either Collinite 845 (an easy to apply and remove wax that lasts 5 months) or Collinite 476 (a harder to apply and remove wax that lasts 8 months). P.S - I'm a car detailer and Collinite's what I use for my biz.
Yeah that would be the most interesting part of this test.
I would suggest P21S or S100.
ammo? The only problem with that is because they are pro detailing items, you cant buy them in normal stores which means ordering. I try to help the average joe with this channel and test things you can buy at any local store. Most people will never order away for car care products but will run down to Walmart or a car parts store for their items. Maybe in the future I will expand the channel but for now, I plan to stick to this setup.
Ive got this same exact fukn car!!! lol
Julius Cesar yah its a good car, I bought it in July of '06 and kept it ever since.
Dude I apologize when I made that comment it was during the 1st few seconds of the vid and the roof & hood looked exactly like my 2004 Rsx. As well as the color, that looks EXACTLY like the artic blue pearl my rsx is. Even ur mirrors look like rsx. Great looking car regardless as well as that nissan please tell me if u got a clear bra on that nissan
Harris Montevallo cool story bro!
umm no? lol Ive never heard that before. In my lifetime....34 years haha Ive owned 3 red cars now. Never have I heard that or worried about that. My 370z currently has the Meguiars Gold Class on it but plan to apply either Tech/Ultimate or the new Griots Garage Best of class wax to it. All should make it really stand out! I just gotta get time to apply it, being as I work for UPS, its really about to crank up here work wise.
Oops, you used quick detailer as a clay lubricant which has a wax in it. So there is no control. Also it may interfere with the other waxes.
not all quick detailers have wax, and im assuming that since the lubricant came with the clay bar that there is no wax in it.
@@packapunchie It is a wax detailer. I used it on my car once.
are you sure? why would they make it a wax detailer when it comes with the clay bar? it doesn't make much sense to add wax while trying to remove dirt and debris stuck on the paint
@@packapunchie Ye pretty sure as it is a detailer like auto finess or autoglyms products. In my opinion although I see what your saying it is just to lubricate. Doesn't matter if it has wax in or not. It is just a wax maintenance spray so has minimal impact by time you wipe you car down, pre wax, wax and use sealant. They clay is just to remove the contaminents not the wax so you could use it with out stripping old wax off depending on the quality of the finish thats on your car.
personally ive never tried to use a clay bar without stripping the cars paint and then waxing it right after. I see what you're saying though!
sorry buddy, didnt think about getting in front. Not like it matters alot though. You can easily tell, thats why I just walk around. All do great but your synthetics at the end repel faster which is what you expect. Still, Ive used them all and can say they all do pretty good. The cleaner just doesnt last very long and doesnt make the paint pop as much .
Great job
thanks I learned a lot about buying different wax.
I can't believe no one ever thought of doing this.
cool vid
Forget the wax differences, what a beautiful color on that Prelude!
The rare Electron Blue pearl!
Much Appreciated the time you took on this project. I will definitely will subscribe. I enjoy all of your videos. two thumbs up!
It's nice to see how water runs off it. The sheen on them looked generally the same, not sure if that was just from the camera though. I'd love to see how these compare to sun exposure and weather and stuff. It'd be cool if you could get like a painted test panel or something and apply these waxes side by side and let them wear outdoors for a couple of weeks or months.
Thank You for making this video!! 2-thumbs up!!
Help please. My towel had dish soap on it by accident and I cleaned a small section. I guess it took the wax it but it left some swirl marks. Is that what it is suppose to look like without wax? Can I just put wax back on the section and the swirl will be gone?
***** wax only fills in those swirls, doesn't get rid of them. You would need a compound or a polish to actually get rid of the swirls.
ok thank you. what towel should I use for the polish and the wax
***** get some good microfiber towels.
If the swirls are bad you'll have to buff it with a buffer. Cutting compound then swirl remover, which takes a layer of clearcoat with it. If the paint has a lot of surface scratches then it may need to be wet sanded. Truth be told, every new car could use a buff. If you ever look at the paint you'll see what's known as orange peels. Because the paint isn't smooth like glass, there's a lot of irregularities that looks like an orange peel.
THANKS FOR TAKIN THE TIME G.
the gold class worked the best. You can see the in depth glow of the caranuba and you can see the strip is the driest of them all too. The NXT is good too, it's just a lab created polymer that's definitely better than it's original, you just can't beat that caranuba tho. Thanks
2019 Gold all the way ...
ur the fuckin man !!! i been looking for a video like that for soooo long, thanks.
Watch yr mouth
Bradley Sanders sorry grandpa !!
they all looked the same on the video. I say buy the cheapest one
For most people, that is sound advice. Just make sure that if you get cheap wax, that it isn't a pain to remove (some of the older waxes were a pain to remove).
As others have stated, you really gotta think about how long it lasts. Most likely, the more expensive waxes will last far longer.
I have used Liquid Glass for 30+ years and have never found anything that's as good. The prep is about the same but I do buff the car before waxing. Thanks for the time and work.
great review and thanx for tacking the time to do it. I would have to be honest I dont notice much difference on any of the waxes but im no expert.
its ok, im no pro either. You really see the difference overtime and the carnuba will pop on my cars much more than the synthetics (tech wax and ultimate). All 4 waxes were fresh, they better not suck that quickly:)
Acc0rd79 So which Would you most recommend? The gold? I couldn't tell from the video either, but you said the gold wax was easier to remove and it has the carnuba and makes it look better... or whatever. lol. Sorry, I don't really have any experience with this. I just bought the red one the other day and was planning on washing/waxing my car tomorrow.
I'm down to take it back and get something better though.
***** I enjoy that wet look to the wax that makes it pop more so I like the carnuba but for my cars that have to sit in the sun all day long, I use the Ultimate or Tech wax because they are synthetic which gives me longer lasting protection. But, my 2 garage cars always have carnuba based wax.
Acc0rd79 Awesome! Appreciate the tips/advice.
The Gold wax is rubbish, £20 from Halfords it's going back.
I've used the gold class for years and will continue to use it. I tried the ultimate wax and others but keep going back to the gold class. To me it provides the best shine
Same
it is all the same except tech wax is easy to remove. and cleaner wax is a swirly mess lol.
1
+MrBuzzialdrin Then your either applying or removing it wrong. Cleaner wax applies and removes very easily for me and get great results.
Advice from decades of professional experience.
Do Not Wear Jewelry Watches or Belts With Buckles ..!!!
A velcro belt will also cover buttons and snaps.
thanks #THUMBUP
Also the Ultimate wax smells awesome.
Great video. I am always standing in the store wondering what is the difference between waxes. I figured it was same product different packing. Except the clearer wax. Thank you for a great video. One trick I have learned over the years which most people probably know already if add a little water on top of the wax in the container it makes it easier to use. Just a little.
Brilliant comparison. Very unbiased and fair. Perhaps the video doesn't show it all, but from what I can see they all have virtually the exact same effect. Would be interesting to know if any lasted longer
xr8brisbane Tech Wax 2.0 and Ultimate lasted the longest of all.
Thanks. Personally I'm a massive fan of Scholl Concepts at the moment. Absolutely miles ahead of Meguires and Mothers if you want to try something else. Also the answer is no, I don't get paid by them or have any connection, I just love cars and passing on knowledge.
I concur that you are absolutely correct about the little or no differences between the Meguiar's. waxes and water beading from the water spray test. I usually use the wax to shield the paint from dirt and get a little shine, not what it does for water.
I agree they all looked the same to me..
Awesome! Keep up the good work. Meguiars tech wax 2.0 wax & Meguiars gold class wax Spectacular !
lots of people are saying the tech wax is just as good as the ultimate . i like using gold class more .
Cuál sería la será más recomendada para mí que mi carro está expuesto al aire y polvo, además en mi trabajo también al sol. He probado algunas semisinteticas con silicón y otras de carnauba pero duran muy poco a la primer lavada prácticamente. Uso shampoo gold class. Acabo de descontaminar el auto por lo que busco una mejor protección.
i prefere golden class
That's what i use. Inexpensive and easy to find. Applies easily and works well for me.
Thumbs up, Proper comparison for sure.
ashequl arif thanks
Acc0rd79 Which foam gun do you use. does it connect with a normal garden hose? or does it need a pressure washer machine?
Excellent review! I have tried all of them except the Ultimate. Tech Wax 2.0 is some awesome stuff! I mainly use Liquid Glass $29.00 for 1 quart. It really shines and gives a Brilliant Finish!!! But I am always trying different brands? I am now looking for the best compounds??? Any Suggestions??? 1.Light to Medium 2. Medium to Heavy.
Thank you for posting! I am a Maguires Fan! I have a Black 2013 Maxima and I use their Gold Class Car Wash, Superior Gloss, Quik Wax Detailer and Mist, Mirror Glaze #7 and #9..... It's SERIOUS BUSINESS with my 🚘...Guess you can tell 😂. I have a buffer machine but I haven't used it yet and by me living in an apartment, I have to use a Car Cover. My question is how long does it usually take for you to buff your car on the regular? Also, I have clear coat scratches. Which product do I use for that?
Not finding the Cleaner Wax was a sign. So I put the Gold Class on the whole hood & Ultimate on the roof. I can say the Gold does pop & the Ultimate really pops. I ended up waxing 1 side of my truck with Gold wax & the other side with Ultimate wax. Now its just a matter of which last longer.
I belive the dullness of bare paint next to the waxed sections is the residue of the masking tape. Just look at the original sections at the outside, the colour and gloss are virtually the same with waxed sections.
In your opinion which wax is better for black car (under 1 years old), tech wax 2.0, ultimate liquid wax, or turtle wax ice liquid wax? compared to the price, durability, and shine. The weather is hot and sometimes rain here (Indonesia). Great videos btw hahaha Thanks!
All I have is a beater I got for free and fixed up. It had barely a scratch. Still, I do take care of it. Last summer I washed and waxed it (cheap orange cloured wash & wax combo). Next summer I'll use turtle wax because I have it. I don't believe in spending all that money though I can. Just my two cents.
Mate just detail cars every day on price if that's what you want. Stop messing around with four waxes on one bonnet. Decontamination, wash, clay, polish, sealant, wax, glaze, glass, wheels on and off. Dry vacuum or wet carpet shampoo, trim clean and dress, engine bay and boot, door shuts. The list goes on. One good job leads to another. Meguire used to make an ultra safe alloy wheel brush. I used it the tip came off and I scratched a client Bentley wheel.
Cleaner Wax is called that for a reason. Certain people don't clay bar their car to smooth it out, nor get rid of residual contaminants/pollution that the wrong kinds of soaps (e.g., dish soap) or a bad wash may not have cleared. So cleaner waxes help to bring those contaminants to the surface before you wipe it away, thus cleaning and protecting the paint. On the other hand, the non-cleaner wax, expects some serious notion of cleaning before application.
That said, this isn't a comparison of apples-to-apples. They have different purposes, which you might want to consider. In your case you supposedly cleaned your car correctly, so a Cleaner Wax may be pointless. You may want to consider another video of not cleaning your car properly, nor using a claybar (I wouldn't recommend it, since it could also be damaging).
nice video but I would say the most important thing is how the water seeps/sheets away not beads up, because ultimately thats what's you want how quickly the water runs off...when it beads up the water can just run a little bit but still sit there... when it slides down and runs off in one big sheet THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT... so with that said which do you think sheeded Off the best overall?
Good video
I use the Meguiars synthetic spray wax ...Amazon 30 bucks a gallon, man that stuff pops! And it is unbelievable easy, spray on...wipe off!
There's more to a wax's performance profile than beading. Carnuba lends more depth but is high maintenance, cleaner wax is good for cleaning, really like the 3m product. A good progressive buffing is a must at least once. Hell even Ferrari come with orange peel. Nxt 2.0 is my favorite all around with Zaino a close 2nd
So I've used all of these and I'll say that I decided on the Gold Class Carnuba over the Tech wax because the Gold Class with Carnuba actually lasts more than a few washes. The Tech stuff is fine. It goes on easy and comes off fast, but it only lasts 3-4 washes. Why do you think it's so hard to see when applied and so easy to remove? At that cost, it's just not lasting long enough. I can't see waxing my car every month to keep it protected. Anything with Carnuba is going to last you.
Great video been looking at the Meguiars range went & got the ultimate paste wax awesome much better then turtle wax ice paste wax i normally use. Ill be watching for more awesome updates all the way from the U.K :)
Hi, I´ve seen this video and I´d like to make you a suggestion about doing this comparison between Meguiar's and Sonax carnauba wax. Have you ever thought abou it? In some countries like mine (Peru) Meguiar's isn´t sold, so it would be cool having other alternatives.
that is really nice to share wax . just only one point .I'm really can't see how different on it .. I just wanna choose uh. Gold class and TechNX 2.0 . but really can't see how different it.
love mequires products been using for years on my 01 Nissan maxima se ultimate is excellent and there professional mirror glaze is really good which tire gel do you like better mequires endurance or armor all extreme tire gel???i have bridge stone potenza 970as pole position
Tech Wax 2.0 isn't even wax. It's a sealant. Based on this video alone the Gold Class appears to have the most shine from what I can see. But, the Tech Wax (being a sealant, not a wax) should outlast all the others. I guess it's just personal preference for everyone. I just use the liquid bottle of cleaner wax on the whole car right after winter, then I'll use the liquid bottle of gold class around July, and everything in between I simply use spray wax. However... I do use the gold class paste wax on my headlights clean lenses.
I use the cleaner wax more to get of gunk, should there be any, and deeper scratches. Then used to go over it with Gold on whole car. Looks like I will be switching to the 2,0 or Ultimate. Also, shout out on the 4th gen Prelude. I actually have one now I got from original owner with only 60,000 miles. I am going to sell though cause I just don't drive it often and have too many cars. It was used as a show car and been a blast. Love those gen 4 Preludes!
+Acc0rd79Thanks for the time man. Really can see the difference. But, I have a 2012 black mustang and it needs some wax. You know if there scratch and swirl lines works well?
Hi, I am from Brazil (sorry my english, i speak portuguese) and here the ultimate wax cost USD 120,00 dollars ! The Tech Wax 2.0 cost 80,00 dollars ! But, they are the best wax we can by at the market. The second choise is "Mother wax", red bottle, cost less, but have less quality. Great video.
" you can actually tell it's been waxed!"
Holy shit, get the president on the line, did this news just break? What will break first, the internet, or stock market?
I'm a massive Maguires fan I've used all the budget stuff and onwards. Maguires is worth spending the money on. if you got more money and in the UK you could try kleen freaks or even better use poorboys (it's called that because it's your pockets afterwards). I use a light degreaser then shampoo next I use clay bar then snow foam dry the off and apply Maguires compound, Polish then tech wax I am stunned every time I look at my car if you spend the time it will always be a real head turner
thanks for uploading this excellent video and spending that mondey also taking time doing this for your fans, but since you already have all these waxe's could you do the same test on Black metallic or acrylic colour Please ! *** anyone who's watching this Thumbs up if you want it **
Why not clean / do a paint prep like using a new blue color paint prep that you can get from AutoZone or O’Reillys? Of course after washing to remove any cross traffic that maybe on the car from driving around town. That would be a much better solution than the Palmolive and is actually designed for automotive paint
Ultimate wax in Netherlands 42,65 euros. Talking about inflation and EU screwing...
I am giving you a thumb up because of the hard work; however, I am not seeing any major difference of course a flood of water is different, but a mist of water is nothing different - I'll stay with the Gold....
I don't mess with the cans. I'd rather Deal with the liquid in the bottles. I've used the cleaner wax it does ok. but I like the meguires wax. I can't find anymore of it so I'm having to switch to the cleaner wax. I've clayed my truck Friday the 13th waxed it this makes the second time since this passed december. an it's to a mirror finish. water gets on it, it runs right off an beads up nicely. when I first clayed it I compound it polished it then used the wax. Turned out really good. but since I did it agian the second time I didn't go with compound or the Polish I went to the clay then waxed it. it is 10 xs better than when I first clayed my truck. it has really brightened an shined the paint marvously. took Alot of the oxidation that was starting to set on off.
I know it’s an older video, but with NXT 2.0 if you let it cure for 24 hours...I’ve found it lasts longer than traditional waxes.
Easier to wash with just a QD in between.
A cleaner/wax or cleaning/sealant would offer some level of cleaning ability using either chemical cleaning agents, solvents and/or some type of abrasives and often times a combination of all three. Cleaner/Waxes are also referred to as One-Step products or All-In-One products. Cleaner/waxes can be used to restore neglected paint to good to excellent condition depending upon how bad of condition the paint is in and the cleaning ability or strength of the cleaning agents in the cleaner/wax.
A finishing wax or finishing sealant would not contain any ingredients with the intended ability to clean or abrade the paint. Products in this category should only be used on paint in excellent or brand new condition or neglected paints that have been previously cleaned and polished and thus restored to new or excellent condition. (Autogeek.net)
I wouldn't pay as much attention to the cleaner wax as it is used for a different type of job. The other 3 waxes are great to compare and I think you did a good job doing that!
I found no matter what the car or my technique the cleaner wax lasts about 2 weeks but it also puts in instant swirl marks/scratches. Maybe this is due to cleaning ability or the micro abrasives are too harsh. Either way wont be buying again. I am trialling NXT tech wax 2.0 right now, seems to protect well 1 week on so far. We'll see. The one to beat was my sealant - Armorall for $9 as it lasts months
Ultimate paste vs nxt 2.0 , which one is better sir? Long lasting for rain and uv protection, and how long for time? 3 month or 6 month for apply againt this wax? Tq sir
good video dude
the trick is 1 coat of show car glaze, followed by 2 coats of nxt2.0 each allowed to dry overnight. (the longer the better) but ammo skin and cream might be better.
There are two other consider, cleaning and longevity. Theses waxes have different properties by design. Shedding water is the only common characteristic. The cleaner wax has an abrasives where the others don’t. Also the actual wax properties are different which affects the longevity. So the water test is fine but you’re only examining one of the characteristics of the products. You should do a cleaner and longevity test to be fair.
