Well, my jar of PB Natty's Blue has about 1/3 remaining, and I'm open to a new carnuba as a LSP.

I've only used the Natty's on this car, and found it easy to use and remove. I can't say it lasts longer than any other brand, as I don't have anything to compare it to, but I've read of other members using other carnubas with good results.

So, give me suggestions. Keep in mind that I'm not going to buy something like Pinn Souveign or anything that expensive, because the car is washed/waxed every week. It's a daily driver, not a garage queen, so I couldn't justify spending >$80.00 on a jar of carnuba. I'd also like to get something locally (Pakshak.com is local to me), but I've ordered from autogeek and over the net before.

The car is sparkling graphite, so I would prefer a wax that performs well on a dark colored metallic paint.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

i like CGS 5050 or Dojo Juice Supernatual~

Anything <$80.00 is fine, but I want it to last long also. Our climate here can be considered "rough" on paint, with the humidity and salt air.

Who sells that "Dodo Juice" brand?

Pakshak sells the 5050 for $49.95, with no shipping for me

[L~R~G nor cal]

If you want Dodo I would contact FMINUS. Its hard to get.

You gotta get it from the UK, just type "Dojo juice supernatural" in google.... its about 185ish USD a pop.........

Im going to pickup supernatural, black haze, and lime pre-wax (for when I don't polish)

p21s is good

[TRICKE90]

I had a 325i w/sg, and had really good results with Zymol carbon wax, it's about 45 bucks a pop, I tried a lot of different waxes on that car and that was one of the best. Another good result was using Groit's Garage "Best of Show". The only thing is, to get great results you have to put on like 3 or 4 layers without buffing and let it dry. It's a bitch to get off but man it was worth it.

Stay away from P21/S100 blue top wax, parafin/beeswax does not protect your car from UV rays. If you MUST go w P21 get the grey top, but at $50 there are much better choices.

From Zymol, start at the Glasur, everthing else up is good, down is not.
From Swissvax start at Saphir.

If you want CHEAP, FK Pink wax is my favorite for a budget wax.

In your option FMINUS, if price is not a problem what is your fav wax for a dark car, and a light colored car?

Thanks.

Dark- Mystery/Vintage
Light- Mystery/Vintage

And yes I like them even Vintage is a bit wetter while Mystery is a tad shinier. Mystery is easier to work with and does not sweat like Vintage does.

Thanks. What about swissvax concorse VS zymol concorse?

And do you apply by hand, or do you use a app.

I am kind over over doing it by hand.

Personally I like Zymol Concourse better than Concorso/Smaraged. But everyone that I respect in detailing puts Smaraged up over the other 2. So I may have to re-evaluate my own opinion with more use.

I use an app when possible, but certain waxes with high nuba content is hard to break down. So when using an applicator you have to heat it up before you dip it into the tub.

I used some Vintage on Johnsons' car today using the bare hand application, its fun for a while then it gets old.

I like seeing the Vintage turn into a cream when you rub it.

[L~R~G nor cal]

Thanks FMINUS.

[san~man]

What about Victoria Concours Red? Any good?

[turbojet3]

Lusso Oro is under $50 a can. Its my favorite.

[Raz335]

I'm going to give P21S 100% (Gray Top) a try next. It's suppose to be good stuff.

Add me to that list; I prefer Concorso to Concours, but Vintage to Mystery.

As for < $80, Victoria Wax, FK Pink Wax, Meguiars #16; all good choices.

Is pinnacle souveran any good? I have quite a bit left and was wondering if I should use that until it is gone or maybe get something new.
