Wax recommendation

Stallingrad

Looking for something that is easy enough to apply yet still has staying power. Was thinking Meguires Ultimate? Happy to buy from Halfrauds. Any recommendations?

Car is metallic Beige.

Cheers.

TopTec

Autoglym would be my recommendation.

I use bilt hamber jydra wax very easy to apply and great affect.

MetzgerMeister

Gtechniq C2V3. Spray on, buff off makes for a very easy application and when topped with Gtechniq Qquick Detailer gives a shine to blind. The C2V3 also states 8 months longevity but by using QD after each wash will last longer.

Both products are all I use these days as I don't have the time or patience to be applying waxes, waiting for them to haze then having to buff them off.

Truckermal

What about Autoglym extra gloss protection? I thought it was pretty good..

I'd pick farecla supergloss wax over autoglym

Tried Jayswax ceramic wax recently
Simple to apply and buff.
Fantastic gloss and durability is apparently as good as soft99 Fusso.
Well worth trying.

845 wax.

SOFT99 Fusso. Just got some last week and it's incredible.

OP I was going to say Collinite 845 as that was my wax of choice before but since I've switched over to the likes of CarPro Reload and Gtechniq C2V3. As MM says, they are much easier and quicker to apply.

Have the Collinate and while it is very good and long lasting, just found it hard work. The two you mention will be added to the wish list, as will the Fusso.

Cheers.

I've been hearing about this for a while and I see that Mick's Garage have just started to stock it, so it's hit the mainstream.

Does it live up to the hype? I don't mind spending a few hours going over my car if it lasts. Any particular technique for applying it so it lasts? Can it be applied over existing waxes and sealants?

I looked at Micks garage last night and their soft99 range is limited,
I reckon Autopia is supplying them.
Autopia has a bigger selection of their products.

Anyhow, back on topic

Does it live up to the hype? > Absolutely, It must be the best bang for buck product out there.

As for technique?
It works best on bare paint,
So I would suggest a full prep first to ensure a really good base.
That done,
I normally have a small bowl of water with me when applying it to keep the applicator damp.

My method is:
Apply to drivers wing > Bonnet > Passenger wing.
Apply as lightly as possible.
Then buff off in same order
Then roof and boot/tailgate > Buff

2 doors one side and rear quarter panel > Buff
Repeat other side

Then all extra parts. > Bumpers>sills etc.

At least 6 hours later , Or as I do, next day. > Light wash > dry > repeat with second coat.. This should cover you for in excess of 6 months.

Fusso is excellent value for money. I normally go with Fusso coat then King of Gloss on top of that

Was thinking of getting a tin of authentic for over the Fusso.
Autopia has a 15% off this weekend.:P

I bought a kit from Autopia Fusso, KOG, a microfibre cloth and a spray wax detailer and a bottle of tyre gloss.
The Fusso is pretty durable stuff and using the KOG over it gives a very good result.
Don't apply it heavily it will set into ridges which are very hard to remove...
