Turtle wax opinion

I personally use Meguiar's Gold Class. Their wash is excellent, works very well, and ... smells nice. The Gold Class liquid wax is much easier to apply than their carnauba Gold Class paste, and it still performs rather well. I'm not exactly someone who will spend upwards of an hour just on wax (takes me 45-75 minutes to finish the wax coat and let it dry before lightly buffing it). That stuff also won't break the bank or make your wallet mysteriously lighter.

However, I noted that the liquid wax only lasts for about a month or so before you definitely start feeling some roughness of pollutants and sap and etc. I wash the car every month, wipe the rims clean of the brake dust (which is minimal to begin with), then just hose it down, dry it completely, and apply wax as per directions. I also vacuum the mats, since a lot of dirt gets in, and in just a month.

Even though the Gold Class is meant to give darker paints that deep, liquid glossy reflectivity, it definitely works in giving my Brilliant Silver paint a beautiful mirror shine. I'll probably get better results with a different wax meant for brighter colors and such, but I don't think the results would matter enough for me to change.

Try to find a good wax, maybe a liquid, since it lasts around 1-3 months versus most pastes, which are around 2-5 or so. Extremely high quality pastes, the ones that cost hundreds, probably last a lot longer. With your mad biceps, waxing your car will be like a joke. I would guess most of us work up a bit of a sweat just waxing the car. I sure as hell do, lol.

My car wash soap tends to get off all the wax. It takes a little longer, but I've never had problems.
