I use the Autosmart Wax. Think it is the best one I have used so far. Would recommend it without hesitation.

Last Wax I bought and used was Meg's 16. Very good value and does well in any reviews and tests I've seen. I like the wax in the summer but in winter its a quick polish and then a few coats of the easy Blackfire Wet Diamond, All Finish Paint Protection (http://www.detailedimage.com/Blackfire-M32/Wet-Diamond-P205/16-oz-S1/) that last for months and months.

It gets to a stage when I'll bring out the jetwash and just use it to take off as much as it can over the winter ad not even pat dry it, far to cold to be fannying about outside and keeps the worst off the car. I'll sheet the water off and thats it done.

Im with stuart above^^^

Blackfire wet diamond sealant is the mutts nuts!

So easy to use and superb results.
Also last longer than wax due to its man made properties.

Well worth buying it along with blackfire gloss enhancing polish, it is a filler polish so looks as if u have corrected th paint so is a massive easy cheat ;)

dodo juice blue velvet is a hard wax and way more durable then man made synthetic waxes

really like the Velvet pro, as I am not one for using a sealant, but with the pro its in the wax. That and Petes53 from chem guys.

I have collinite 476s and 915. I love both and use them on my Valets as it lasts aaaages and looks great. Buy from USA for less than half the price of uk ;)

Dodo Juice - Supernatural v2:thumbs up::thumbs up: remember to put
on a good glaze before the wax Rob for that extra shine:smilewinkgrin:

or if you want a wax to last all winter then it has to be Finish Kare #1000P Hi Temp Sealant

For the winter for my own I go with collinite 476 as it is more durable and for all year round for cheaper details and valets I go with Collinite or Megs 16 wax.
For my own at other times and for those wishing to spend a bit extra I am on Zymol Glasur at the moment.

If you are buying wax over the internet from USA do you get hit with any import tax when you go to pick it up from the post office.
I have noticed ebay shops selling Zymol much cheaper even with postage to UK

Can't remember tbh Ian. Got 2 pots of 915 delivered from America for £25 total so it was a great deal ;)

Oh also got the autosmart guy who was in at work yest so got tardis, g101 and smart wheels for £45 - great deal I thought too ;)
