Default whats the best wax to use

Just wanted some opinions on what yall believe is the best wax. I used turtle and it lasted forever and looked good. The next time i bought NXT...gave the truck a different shine but if the wind blew a grain of sand across the paint a scratch mark showed(in the wax). Let me know whats up. Thanks.

Formula 113 has been out for a long time. Works good, I used to use it.

I like Zaino myself. I've tried just about everything too. I do want to try Klasse though. Seems like it may be similiar to Zaino, just easier to apply.

Check out http://www.autopia.org

There are some real fanataics over there.

Dont forget to check out 3M....Imperial Hand Glaze, which feeds the paint, then their perfectIt III PASTE wax. Looks good and lasts a long time. Make sure you get the paste, the liquid does not work as well. Oh you can get it direct from 3M at a discount and with free shipping.

I've tried most others, including NXT (looks great but doesnt last). I am gona try out Zaino before winter sets in.

I've been using Meguiars Tech Wax, its synthetic vs. I guess the regular stuff. Hehe maybe i'm just getting screwed outta some extra $$$. Seems to put a real good shine on the truck though, not the cheapest stuff but it seems to work good.

I have tried everything excpet Zaino. I am not willing to spend that kind of money right now. I like the NXT Wax the most. I know the longevity is not there, but the shine is. I like the way it works in conjunction with the ColorX. Give it a try, it works on the most discriminating colors.

I'm using Meguire's Color X. So far I'm very happy with the results.

I use Meguire's right now, works great. Has anyone used that Nanowax from Eagle One?
