turtle wax emerald series paste wax

[john graham]

Hello! Has anyone tried Turtle Wax`s Emerald Series Paste Wax? How would it compare to 3M`s Perfect-It wax? Hope you can help.

I might be the only one, but i hate all of turtle wax`s products. They all suck. Go for meguiar`s gold class wax rather than turtle wax. You can get it at any walmart. The step up from that is klasse or zaino. those two will leave your car like :bounce

Turtle Wax products, with the exception of the Tire Gel, are generally not liked here.

Meguiars Gold Class wax is a good choice and is available locally.

If you want to go any higher in quality then that, you have to decide if you want to go with a polymer based sealent like Klasse, Zaino or Blackfire, or with a high quality Carnuba Wax, like Pinnacle Souveran(in my experience this one is the best) or Blitz Wax by Omega.

Or you can combine the 2, a few layers of klasse SG and then top with a carnuba.

Im not going to get into the prep stage here, for that do a search in the archives.

Hi,



welcome to the Forum,



I can answer this :

TW`s Emerald Paste wax (TWEPW)gives a good initial shine , but I found it to have NO sheeting-beading action , so I wonder where the protection is.

Further : two (2!)washes and TWEPW was gone.



I gave the stuff away.



Meguiars Gold Class paste wax is indeed much better , but I use that on my bike ,`cause the durability isn`t that long allso.



I can only advise you to read and search this forum , you`ll deffinatly find answers to all your questions.Don`t make the mistake I made : buy first , read later , do it the other way :read first , buy then!!!

I asked Meguiars what wax to use on my application and they said Gold CLass, not #26 and not #20 - just gold class.
