What wax
What wax do people recommend? Iv'e been using turtle wax original as it's dirt cheap and easy... but with it being so cheap does it give good enough protection?
Thinking of getting some Collinite 476s off ebay because it seems like good price and think I've herd it mentioned a few times on here?

What's your budget?
How long would you like between applications?
Sharp or wet look?
Do you want a wax, sealant or hybrid?

Dont want to spend more than 20 quid...less if possible. Want a nice clean shiny look.
What do you mean "Wax, sealant or hybrid"? I thought you use a sealant before applying the wax? and never herd of hybrid lol

Either Finish Kare 2685 or Collinite then, couple of months protection, can be layered and under £20.

for durability with that budget you won't beat Collinite , infact for that I would just get Collinite for an all round wax it is fantastic.

I realise you said £20 but personally I would up your budget and get something like Chemical Guys 50/50 for about £40.
I bought my pot 18 months ago and I reckon I have another 6 months left in it.
£20 a year for wax is nothing.
Don't fuck about with jizz white waxes, they are naff. Get something half decent, you will find its much easier to get on/off and lasts longer. Plus there will no white marks everywhere.

I really like P21S (i think its R222 now or something). Dead easy to work with, great durability, nice gloss and beading.

Its crap, once you get a decent wax you will realise why stuff that costs £4 is shite.
