Hello,
So I`ve ben here a little while and learned quite a bit; enough to have tried a few new products and like the results.
Right now I`m using NXT Tech Wax as my LSP and I`m pretty happy. My car is bright mettalic blue, and it gives it a "candy" pop that really makes the color electric. I don`t seem to have durability issues with it like some complain of, my cars beads just fine for at least a month using NXT (washing with QEW a couple times between waxing).
So I`m happy (and here`s where I get myself into trouble), BUT... there`s a whole world of stuff out there I haven`t tried using at all. Most notably, the more traditional, "natural" carnuba based waxes.
On my past car (black, and all the fun that goes with it), I had some bad experiences using some of the cheaper carnuba waxes (Mother`s Gold) that just seemed to smear and smudge around, so I`ve avoided them.
Now I`d like to try some of the "real" contenders, but I`m not quite sure what to expect or where to go with it.
First; wax selection... I want a high-quality product. It doesn`t necessarily need to be a "boutique" brand, but even within those there`s a LOT of names. P21S, S100, EX-C, Souveran, and it goes on. I can`t really afford to buy a can of each just to test them out, so I have to make a decision based on non-personal information.
P21S seems to be maybe the best value out there, so I`m tempted to go with that. But people rave about Souveran, so maybe I should just spring for the higher-quality stuff right from the start. Or maybe I`ll never notice the difference and it will be money wasted? I`m not really sure.
I`d like to combine the wax with VM as a prep coat, since it`s a daily driver with some swirling that needs attention, I don`t know if that introduces ompatibility issues at all.
Any advice for making the "premium wax" dive?
