I would like people's opinions. Here is what I have:

Meguiar's Gold Class Liquid Wax
Meguiar's Crystal System Cleaner
Meguiar's Crystal System Polish
Meguiar's Cleaner Liquid Wax
One Grand Blitz Paste Wax
Mother's Cleaner Carnuba Wax

No, I don't use them all at the same time. Meguiar's recommended that because I live in MD and my car is black, that I am to clean my paint 3 times a year, polish it 9 times a year, and wax it 12 times a year.

Now, I read somewhere else that you should only use a cleaner on older paint; newer paint does not require it, and because most polishes have non-abrasive cleaners in them. It also said to only polish 3-4 times a year. However, you still wax at least 12 times a year.

Anyone have any opinions on how often to do these things? I don't want to do anything to damage my paint, but at the same time, I want to protect it (HA - Max paint), especially with winter rolling around. I was also wondering if products such as Meguiar's Cleaner Wax and Mother's can't be used often because they have the cleaner in them.

By the way, Blitz wax is wonderful. Meguiar's is good stuff too, but Gold Class is a little tough to remove.


Also, I need your recommendations on:

3M Imperial Hand Glaze
One Grand Omega Hand Glaze
Klasse All-In-One and Glaze
Pinnacle Products
P21S Wax and Paint Cleanser

Thanks. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!!!

Gold Class tough to remove?? I have used every wax out there, and have found Gold Class to be an excellent "shine up the car" wax, easy to remove, but it doesn't last very long (one month at most).

Meguiars Cleaner Wax is good too. I've used it and it seems to last a week or so longer than the Gold Class before water stops beading on it. Usually when I wax I also use the Gold Class Polish, which takes some real elbow grease to apply and remove though.

I have also had success with good old Turtle Wax. The other day I did the Meguiars three stage treatment (took all afternoon), but when I was done, the car was shinier than new.

 

You really must love that car. Lots of stuff.

 

I have used the pinnacle wax on my car twice now and it by far the best I have used. It is super easy to apply and remove and the shine is unbelievable. Pinnacle is expensive but well worth the money. I have also tried the Pinnacle clay bar with great success.

 

best stuff ever is the high end Zymol line...its all paste...VERY easy to apply...very easy to remove...has a kind of slippery feel to it..and it doesn't dry so it doesn't leave that white dust that can get on your rubber and make it look bad. The bead up and shine is AMAZING, especially when used with zymol's HD-clense pre-wax treatment. and the last time before today that I waxed my car was June...and it was still beading up great. I just wanted to get a fresh coat on before the winter. The zymol is kinda pricey at 30 bucks a pop...but the paste lasts for MANY waxes...about 20 cars worth. It's simply the best stuff I've ever used.

 

What color is your car? Which Zymol product is it? I know they have quite a few on the web. Is there a particular site you buy it from? I've never seen the high-end Zymol in a store.

 

Has anyone ever used Blitz wax? How long has it lasted for you?

my car is superblack as stated in my sig....and my sig pic
It's the zymol japon, and carbon waxes. I buy it at a local performance shop...for best performance you want the Zymol HD-clense also. It's simply amazing.

 

Yep, I'm blind.

Thanks for your help!
