Best wet looking wax for the price?

[DjbuddyPL]

What will give the wettest look and decent durability. I heard good things about chemical guys butter wet wax but also I heard it stains plastic and rubber very badly and dose not last more then 3 weeks? What other good option we have? For a white paint car?

HD Poxy. Amazing wet look and goes a long way.

For the money? Duragloss #101 Polish & Cleaner. Not as long of protection as their other products, but sure does the "Wet Look."

Are they easy to apply and buff off?

For the price range, I'd go with either HD Poxy or Meguiar's M26 Hi-Tech Wax. The latter is available OTC at some Autozones, and both give a great look. They're both easy to work with- apply a layer, wait 20-30 minutes, and buff off.

I agree with VP Mark. HD Poxy is the way to go. It can be applied to any and all surfaces because it doesn't stain trim. If you prefer a paste wax Finish Kare 1000P Hi-Temp Paste Wax is a big step up in durability because it's a sealant but i know i can't tell the difference in it and any other wax as far as "wet look" is concerned. I have a white truck and fk 1000p looks and feels the best and last the longest. it's the best

All under $20 if thats your budget. Wetlook will come from polishing.

Collinite 915

it can absolutely be applied by hand although i prefer it by DA polisher. It comes off easier than any other wax at that price point. It honestly comes off just as easy as Wolfgang fuzion in my experience

IMO the true "wet" look comes from two things; depth and shine. Again, all this is simply my opinion:

Anyone here been to Crater Lake (http://trendingwallpapers.com/wallpaper/2015/06/crater-lake-national-park-hd-8-background.jpg)in Oregon? Ever notice the depth that you can actually see? It's that depth that creates the DEEP blue look (https://www.pinterest.com/offsite/?token=318-903&url=https%3A%2F%2Fs-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2F8d%2F09%2Fd2%2F8d09d2 be6aa382de72cbfb162cfefcf3.jpg&pin=102668066475350697) to the water and the sparkle from the sun bouncing off the waves can be mesmerizing. It's one of my favorite places in the US and I love taking the family out west.

Depth on paint (http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah133/PDQS4/Audi/OY6A4906_zpsnyx8xt4f.jpg)is a high quality polishing that removes any swirls (http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah133/PDQS4/Minivan/20160227_113943_zpsjdytrqey.jpg)or marks and a nice glaze to help fill in the microscopic marring created during polishing to even out the reflection like a mirror (http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah133/PDQS4/Misc%20Detailing/DSC01065_zpsedp70vz3.jpg) and allow the human eye to see right through the clear coat and down to the actual color. It's especially impact with dark colors (http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah133/PDQS4/Audi/P1020036_zpsdwvxxso2.jpg).

The next step is a sealant to help create that WOW! gloss (http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah133/PDQS4/Misc%20Detailing/20160522_140111%20copy%20web_zpsdkmhzxyz.jpg)and shiny look (http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah133/PDQS4/Misc%20Detailing/20160522_140224%20web_zpsa8dnyhjm.jpg). Sealants and coatings to me really are what create that shine and mesmerize people when looking at cars. Top that with something like a carnauba wax and you'll warm up the tones within the paint nicely.

Sounds like a lot of work but honestly, I've been doing this on dark colored cars for years and especially on black, I always get comments about how "wet" the car looks or how deep the paint appears to be vs other cars. My wife hates when people say something as it just reaffirms why I like to relax in what I call suburban dad fashion on an early Saturday morning washing a car before the sun rises high in the blue sky.

Product wise, there are lots. I love either Poor Boys Black Hole or Chem Guys Blacklight for a glaze. Menzerna Powerlock just happens to be what I use a lot as a sealant. Blackfire Crystal Seal really helps amplify things between sealing. I tend to top off those with a hybrid product like Collinite or Blackfire's Montan Hybrid wax/sealant. To me those combos really hit the mark.
