I plan on Claying & Waxing my 1LE this weekend, which would you use?

Ok so this weekend I plan on claying and waxing my 1LE.

I clayed and waxed it right after I got it and used the Collinite so I wanna see your guys opinions which would be nice!

No fan boys, just honest opinions!

Ive got a brand new bottle of Adam's Buttery Wax never used.

So here are the brands:

1. Adam's

2. Collinite 845

3. Rejex

4. S100

definitely not a fan boy, but out of those, I like buttery wax the best. It is a solid wax. Collinite lasts longer but is harder to apply.

I was thinking of trying the Adam's, to remove it you can use a microfiber towel and detail spray right?

Buttery wax doesnt last super long in hot sun (maybe a month) but it is super easy to apply and buff off. And it does a great job filling some minor imperfections. It really pops if you use a glaze after, if you're into "cheating" with a glaze. Haha.

I like Americana from Adams. I would use the Butter.

845 without even thinking. Honestly though, take this question to a actual detailing forum and look at the response you get there.

If you use 845 just make sure it is in its complete liquid form before applying. Also apply thin and I mean thin. If applied correctly it is as easy as 1,2,3.

aah but applying correctly IS the hard part for most people

agreed though, if you know how to work it, it's super easy. Biggest mistake I've seen or read people do is too thick of a layer.

If you have all of those I would lay down 845 as a base coat. Wait 8-12 hours and then apply a coat of S100 for looks.

If you just want to apply 1 845 would get my vote hands down. Just make sure to liquify it before use.

I love Adams products, I think you should get some Americana and forget about the buttery wax.

My vote out of those products is for the 845
