Hey guys, I want to just put a coat of wax on my truck while I am at school. I did it before I left in the fall and then got it done at a local shop over xmas but that didn`t last long. What would be the best wax for me. I need it to go on easy, last for a lil while, and protect good. My truck sits outside all the time here in Michigan. Thanks guys

Meguiar`s NXT Liqid wax is the perfect thing for you. You can buy it at just about any automotive store. It comes with an applicator pad and it is SO easy to put on and wipe off. It will also last about 2-3 months. Grab you a microfiber towl while you are there and you will have everything you need.



Apply the product to the whole car and then wipe it all off. That is it. It also has some cleaning abilities and it will hide minor swirls. It will also make you car look very good.



Try it out.:waxing:

Yeah, now that I think of it, go with his suggestion. It will be a little easier for you to find OTC. Get a Meguiars MF towel so it won`t scratch.

I own a couple of trucks. More surface area, but the way I look at it, the more fun I get to have.:D
