Zymol

P21S

Pinnacle Souveran

Mother's Carnuba

Mequiar's Medallion Premium Paint Protection

Liquid Glass

Platinum Premium Paint Protection



I just got a car care magazine and these were all offered in the $15 to $25 range. I've heard them all mentioned on here, but which one is really the best:



Easy on/Easy off

Deep wet look

Long lasting
 
Wow, if they're offering Pinnacle Souveran paste for $25, buy it all. Retail on that's $70 for 8oz., best price I've ever seen is aroud $50.



I'm not as experienced as most here, but if you are price independent, I'd bet the results would be less evenly divided. Based on the opinions I've read here, P21S is better than Souveran mostly because it's WAY cheaper, and almost as good, making it a far better value.

Yeah I think you have too many apples, oranges, peaches, mangos, etc. in that mix..... Some of them aren't really comparable (not same category), and some have hugely different price points. Best thing to do is to search for opinions of each and hope somebody makes a comparison to something else. A lot of personal preference also comes into play and every product has its pluses and minuses.

And which Zymol is being compared? They make a lot of different waxes.

I would probably buy the one for japanese cars, because that is what I have. For the purposes of this pole, I'm just pointing out normal every day waxes you can buy (mostly) at an autoparts store.

Yeah, I kinda thought that when I put this together. I'm trying to find a good wax that meets my criteria. I'm surprised more people don't like Platinum Premium Paint Protection...from what I read it looks like the best blend of Carnuba and Synthetic.
 
I have both the paste and the liquid; as a matter of fact, I just got done pasting the Miata.



I don't know that I'll ever use the liquid again, I'm going to take it to my club's "Shine & Dine" next week & use it on everyone else's cars.
 
2002 Maxima SE, From my understanding Platinum is not a blend of Carnuba and Synthetic. It is a synthetic that, as their website says "that shines and shimmers like the finest of carnauba based waxes while having the durabilty of a polymer sealant." And personally I love PUPP! It gives my truck a beautiful shine.
 
I thought the Platinum would have won hands down...Ive never used Pinnacle, never needed to, was always satisfied with Plat or Bf.....And an occasional S100 topper....!
 
What I can't figure out is why UPP is even on the list. Its not a wax. UPP should be on a list with Zaino and Klasse and Blackfire. Not with carnaubas. UPP would win this contest hands down for the durability, value for applications per bottle, and protection.

You can get the good Zymol at autoparts stores near you? All they ahve around here is the faux Zymol liquid stuff made by Turtle Wax.



I haven't used the Japon but I've used the Carbon (Deep Evergreen 98' Max). It's great wax, but it's logevity absoloutly SUCKS and it can be difficult to apply.

There's that 'best' word again. :doh There is no 'best' product that can be determined in a poll. The best product is based on all the products below it and the condition and color of the car.



Anyway, the list is a good one for deciding between waxes. Take the Platinum off there and it would be pretty good. I think Liquid Glass would need to be removed too. I don't think that is a carnauba either. P21S would dominate in my garage though. I've got all those products except the Liquid Glass and my preference is to top Platinum UPP with P21S. What I really like to do is top UPP with Souveran, PPG, and then P21S. Wowzers!
 
I'm a slacker as far as detailing is concerned but I just washed my car w/ Meguiar's cheapo purple liquid, then applied 1 coat of AIO and topped it within the hour with 1 coat of Souveran paste. I went by a detailing shop right next to the base gas station and their detailers stopped working and were just standing and looking at my car. I take it that I must have done something good. Their cars looked very, very good but the Souveran just this deeeeep look. My vote needless to say went to Souveran.
