Hi guys, I`ve got a brand new paint job on my car (roughly 2 months old) so I`m about to be "allowed" to wax/seal it, since it has cured enough. I`m not a professional detailer by any means and have access to a limited variety of product.





I`m going to buy a wax/sealant product pretty soon and I was hesitant between these :



Turtle wax platinum paste wax

Meg`s NXT paste wax

Meg`s Goldclass paste wax

EO Nanowax



These are the products I can easily find.



I was going to buy the NXT paste wax, is it the best choice among these 4 ?? I`m looking for good look and ease of use but I`m not going after durability ....





What`s your take ?????

If you have a Pep-Boys nearby, see if they have Mothers Reflections or FX Synwax, it`s deffinately better than all 4 of those. If not, I`d personally use Turtle Wax PUG, I`ve used the liquid, goes on nicely, comes off easy, looks great, and the best durability of the other 3. Plus, I found PUG for $3.99 at Big Lots.

I agree with Chris about the Mother`s. I personally don`t like the turtle wax brand, but that`s just me.



I look for easy on easy off, with great results. Pick up a good Microfiber Rag to remove the wax, you`ll be well pleased with the results.

If you have a good boat store nearby, look there for Collinite waxes. IMHO theyre quite a bit better than what you`ll find OTC in most auto parts stores.

I don`t have access to Mothers FX line .... I think we`ve narrowed it down to NXT and Turtle wax PUG. Meg`s NXT paste is twice as expensive as Turtle Wax PUG over here.



Can both of these product be topped with EO Nanowax spray ??
