Currently using Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax; is there something as good but even easier to use? I'm 60 and my truck gets bigger every time I wash and wax it.

There are a lot more wash and rinse type waxes out there now; anyone using any of these with pretty good results? How long do they last?

Collinite 845. Just put a coat on my F-150 yesterday and you can barely tell any product is missing from the bottle.

Also Turtle Wax Ice Spray Wax goes on easy and lasts for weeks.

ETA: I use a 6" random orbital buffer from walmart to apply the wax, so it doesn't get easier or harder between products. Also, the Collinite will last for several months, so it will at least decrease the frequency of application.

I use chemical guys products - the easiest wax I have found is butter wet wax, hydroslick is also a great product. Both easy to apply and wipe off.

Same, but it definitely not the easiest. That stuff can get thick if isnt warmed up.

I used to use something called nufinish that comes in an orange bottle. It worked really well.

I just use the stuff you spray on and wipe off as you dry

Turtle Carnauba, but I've heard very good things about the Meguair's Ceramic posted right above me. That's going to be my next purchase when this one runs out

I takes some time an elbow grease but to get the most out of your wax at least once a year you should wash, claybar, wash, then wax. It's amazing what it can do for you paint. Then you can wax 3-4 times a year after that.
I was using some NXT wax. Very thin and easy to get off.

wax is becoming a thing of the past, detailing a lot I use the adams ceramic spray, been on my Yukon and sierra for over a year and beads like new. I use it on all my details. for a quick job I like the sonax spray and seal, or the car pro h20 wet sealant. spray on when wet and rinse off. last 3-4 months. chemical guys makes great soaps and other products but most of their stuff is cheap and just another product to buy. lots of good products out there for good info goto detailed image. feel free to ask any questions

I still use the old school Turtle Wax. Washed and waxed my truck Saturday. It seems to last longer than the spray type waxes.

I second this. Easier than washing your car, and it has lasted for months on my 3 vehicles.

2 questions:

How long does it last?

Can you put in on everything or just the paint?

I find the Meguiars NXT 2.0 works great for a daily driver.

Wax: Collinite 845
Hybrid wax: Meguiars new ceramic liquid wax or whatever they call it. It yellow and Walmart or orreillys sells it
Sealant/spray wax: turtle wax hybrid ceramic spray.

Nothing beats Collinite. If you top it once a month with one of the spray wax or sealants you can go almost a year on a daily driver without waxing again

If you want the best, this was just released:
Ammo Reflex Pro
It can be used on a car that is not polished and has filler properties. Almost sounds too good to be true, but I’m sure it’s fantastic like the other Ammo products.

The paint has to be clean first. I've seen it last 3-4 months on new cars. I tried it on my car wash abused black truck, and it did OK.
