Help in choosing affordable wax

As far as my wax goes, I have the following:

Obsessive Detail Wet Wax
Autoglym HD Wax
Optimum Car Wax (free sample I got)

As far as sealant goes, I have the following:

Duragloss 105
Obsessive Detail Hyper Sealant

Now, I used the Obsessive Detail products right when I was getting into the detailing game and they worked fine. I haven't used them for a few months and think I will give them a try again soon.

I am obsessed with Duragloss 105, as I feel it gives outstanding protection, is super slick, and is so freaking easy to use! I detailed a customer vehicle with 105 and topped it with HD Wax and the customer said he had protection for over 4 months in the AZ heat.

I recently got a sample of Optimum Car Wax (spray wax) and used it to top DG 105 and thought it was very easy to use; just wipe on wipe off. I was impressed with this spray wax because it seemed to give a pretty deep shine.

This brings me to my next category, Aqua Wax. On top of DG 105, my customers have seen 3-4 months protection. I am literally head over heals for AW. I use this every time I wash my or my wife's car after I wash it. I use it to get rid of some of the water spotting left over and also as a booster. Can this be justified as a wax with actual longevity or simply a quick detailer with minimal protection?

I am wanting another quality wax I can add to my arsenal for both mine and my customer vehicles. My determining factors are ranked as follows:

1. Ease of use
2. Price (under $50)
3. Longevity

 

Einszett Glanz
Prima Epic

Both are great.

I would say the DG Aquawax can be considered a wax, especially with longevity like that. I've been using Prima Hydro Spray wax for awhile and love it. Won't streak, not even in the sun and beads like you wouldn't believe.

 

Collinite 845/476s/915, CG Pete's 53, Menzerna Power Lock.

 

I would say:

Collinite 845
1z Glanz Wax (Highly underrated IMO)
G|Tech C2 (Kind of the the higher end and maybe over the $50 mark a bit)
Powerlock

 

Also consider Wolf's Chemicals body wrap.

 

I think for what you are looking for 845 might be a pretty clear winner. Cheap. Durable. High Gloss. Easy as pie to use.

 

845 and Powerlock are both winners. I top them both with Colli's 915. Shine that's bulletproof and cheap.

 

Menzerna power lock

1Z glanz wax

 

My favorite sealant is currently Power Lock.

If you're looking for a nice affordable paste wax, have a look at Pete's '53, Lusso Oro or Victorioa Chaos/Mayhem.

 

Collonite 845
Menzerna Power Lock
Werkstat Acrylic Jett Trigger.

 

I think most people are agreeing that either 845 or Powerlock are the best choices and I would have to agree! Also consider Prima Epic.

 

Four Star UPP, HD Poxy, Coll 845 and Optimum Opti Seal all are super easy to apply, look great and last a while

 

for the bang for your buck wax I would go with Lusso Oro

 

Lusso Oro as first choice, if not i would buy Zymol Carbon.

 

MPL and Glanz are my go too, I have a sample of Blackfire im trying to use up, pretty decent product; very similar to MPL,

Only other stuff I have is zaino, and an D151 which is an AIO.

 

845 hands down easiest, best bang-for-the-buck wax. Powerlock has the curing time as a disadvantage in comparison.

 

I think I will have to get some Colli 845. Pretty to use? I thought there was a Colli wax that is a PITA to use...915 maybe?

 

I would go with Wolfs Chemicals Body Wrap. Its going to protect better than 845 or 915 because its a nano sealant, thats what I went with and its only $40 from Phil

 

How do you know a nano-sealant will protect better than something like 915?

nano is simply am implied molecule size - Duragloss 105 which is siloxane based is technically considered on the nano scale..

just a thought

 

I've used 3 of the Collinite waxes and the hardest one to use is the 476. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the hardest, application is a 4 and removal is a 7. The 845 on the other hand gets a 1 for application (liquid/creamy wax on a DA) and a 3 for removal (if you get parts that are too thick or still wet, they are a little harder to remove.
