best wax to use on alpine white paint?

[mudflaps]

i loved using cleaner wax on my white car, it brought all the dirt up, i couldnt believe it when i was done with it.

[asubimmer]

I only use zymol

[BingM3]

I USE KLASSE POLISH - great German stuff, detailers dream it is a 3 in 1 protectant

try using a wax called "liquid gold" i work at a detailing shop we use it on your average everyday beater to half million dollar cars and they all seem to be amazed with the end product

Are you talking about meguiars gold liquid wax? If I had a half-million dollar car I'd be a little bit more picky. How many half-million dollar cars can be in your town? Seems a stretch.

i use nu finish, because its easy and looks good

[jflip2002]

Our detail guy here uses this stuff called "Haze away". Its mainly for oxidized paints, but works will all paints. Its not abbrasive at all, but it does have a lot of petroleum in it. If you go over your car 2-3 times with it, its amazing. I mean 1 coat does it good, but the more the better. I believe its made by PSB, and we get it in 1 gallon jugs. I think just keeping up on the waxing of your car is the best method, no matter what brand of carnuba you use (if you go that route). As long as its not abbrasive, you cant possibly wax your car too often.

I use Zymol.;)

[jflip2002]

Ive never used Zymol for wax, but I used their leather conditioner on my TI. That shit worked great, so if the wax is as good, its probably worth the money. Our detail guy sells us Ketchup sized bottles of this shit for $5 though lol.

For those of you using klasse, how easy is application and buffing?

[scabzzzz]

Dude all the shit works the same it depends on how you apply it. Go through the normal detailing procedures and you'll get good results no matter what you use, with some different than the others. I'm sure to get flamed after saying this!

But for the sake of the conversation, I use Clearkote products. 100% All american baby.

I get good results w/ Mothers products. Claybars seem to work for me. :)
