Wax, Who uses what?
 
just as the title says guys. also do you clay bar, use paint cleaner, etc.?

Dont use it, I use Hot Flash car polish, takes about 30 minutes to do a car and so far looks superior in gloss to any wax I have previously used. It is $20 a bottle though...

Keep you car in a garage at night and you won't need any wax. The new paints/clear coats the factorys use do very well protecting our cars from fade.

Hrmmm...someone's car is going to get shown up big time on cruise night....:) If you were correct Larry, world class show cars would not be so meticulously waxed, they never even SEE sunlight.

It's not about fade, its about shiney and smooth

Cant go wrong with mothers, though when the stang is running it needs some serious paint restoration, definitely going to get the full zano finish after a lot of elbow grease.

I didn't read shiney and smooth in the question. No doubt waxing does smooth the paint. I assumed he was talking about us guys who just want our cars to look good, not show room good! I want to look good and go fast, no show car here...

I think waxing the car is as integral as changing the oil. Different strokes for different folks. IF i had a good paint job i bet i would be a NUT!!!
