what is the best wax to use on my camaro - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

paultheman2007 · 12-22-2010, 09:44 AM

Okay I have a 1ss white 2011 if that even matters

but i am getting ready to wax my car for the 1st time and i use to have a 2004 GTO and i used Turtle Wax Hard paste wax but i also heard that you can use the Liquid and it would still be the same and I seen this Clay bar Wax and my Friend at the Dealer said the clay bar Wax is the Best when you have deep Marks i do not have a Buffer

i am doing it all by hand so i was Just wondering in your Guys opinion what would you use and why do you use it

I always use Turtle Wax Ice one reason I like it you can use it on all exterior surfaces never tried it on the glass though but its safe for the vinyl stripes if you have them and it goes on and comes off really easy so that's my recomendation

i use meguiars wax. i use it because my dad recommended it and i use their other stuff too (soap, sponge, etc) for washing the car.

keep in mind a spray-on wax is easier but is usually just for looks and doesn't protect the paint the way a real wax will.

Zayno's, I am sure I am not spelling that correctly, but you get my point. have it on my '98 SS Convertible, and the car still looks like it's sitting on the showroom floor.

SuperH · 12-22-2010, 10:13 AM

Do not use wax. Do not use "wax".

Use a synthetic polymer!

Adams and Zaino are great. Off the shelf locally, you cannot go wrong with Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax 2.0 (Liquid).

GATORJAK · 12-22-2010, 10:24 AM

MEQUIARS! Tech 2.0 wax (goes on and off easy), Ultimate Detailer, Ultimate Wash & Wax (leaves an excellent waxed finish. Its hard to tell on the Bee, because I keep it waxed with Tech 2, but I use it on my 93 Jeep Wrangler that I only wax once or twice a year and it beads like a newly waxed finish!).

Breastman · 12-22-2010, 10:30 AM

Zaino Showcar Polish. Nothing better. The shine is amazing and goes on very easy. I highly recommend you clay bar the car. It makes a huge differance.

Moriartii · 12-22-2010, 10:32 AM

Adams period. From customer support to service to their products, in my opinion, you cannot beat them.

I have used many different waxes over the years and I think Zaino has been the best I have used as long as you dont over apply. There are you tube videos showing how to do it.

There is a whole section on this under Camaro Technical Topics. I'm sure this will soon be moved there.
