Default how long does wax last for you

I have been using meguires cleaner wax and mothers cleaner wax. i'll use each on one side of the truck to see which one last longer. so far, i have found that neither one last more than maybe two weeks. I am going by the beed effect and nothing else!

meguires is way easier to take off than mothers but both shine about the same. as good as it can be on a white truck anyway.

i was told not to waste my time with zaino because of having a white truck. otherwise i would use it. i just wish my wax would last longer than two or three weeks before needing it again. maybe i need to polish it instead. dunno!

ha ha ha ha . well no matter what color it is it still needs protection.to me thats like saying you got silver so its going to fade no matter what you do to it. its your baby--well at least one of them-- and it needs to be taken care of no matter what color it is.

my wax last at least a month or 2. its some wierd **** though. It is from Mexico and very hard to get around here, in san Fran. The name is La Cera Amarilla. I know the name sound funny, but I have used tons of waxes ( mothers, zymol, 3m, meguiars, etc), and nothing works this good. All the body shops and detailing shops have it my area. It has a whole bunch of carnuba and teflon and is a liquid. You can apply it in direct sunlight and will come off very easy. I can wax my ecsb at least 4 or 5 times with one bottle. after it is very smooth. It takes about an hour and a half to wax my whole truck.
