    I have 3 favorite paste waxes: 1. Pinnacle Black Label Reserve Wax 2. Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax 3. Brand not supported by AGO so will not name it.

    As for liquid waxes: Anything Polish Angel.

    The WAX SNOB has SPOKEN!....LOL

    It can be very confusing with the amount of products, I can’t imagine what the average car owner thinks when they start looking into them.

    I have not jumped into the ceramic market. I don’t detail for profit, yet. I have been tossing around the idea for side work once my daughter is in school. But I still enjoy the process and results I get with sealants and waxes.

    As Mike says, “find something you like and use it often.”

    If you decide to try one try the Mckee’s ceramic wax. It’s pretty nice and looks good.

    Re: Is Anyone Else Tired of All the Ceramic Pile-Ons?

    I currently take care of 7 family cars (4 belong to my wife and I). There is a place for ceramic (SiO2 lsp) and sealant/wax. Two of the distant family cars and my wife’s car are ceramic coated ( with products from AG) and the others are sealant/waxed ( products from AG) As they are located closer to where I live for easier upkeep; thus the variety keeps me happy. And besides I do like trying new innovative products (most likely the 35 years of being a scientist and always experimenting), but I still like sealants and wax.

    Re: Is Anyone Else Tired of All the Ceramic Pile-Ons?

    Yes ceramic sells so every player will come out with a line. Coatings are a different level. No wax, sealant l, or “ceramic” spray will compare. The coating may change but it’s here to stay.

    As for the sprays go, from what I can tell is their mostly just sealants with 5-10% silica. That being said I can’t find a sealant or wax that come near the protection or self cleaning of PA Cosmic. Looks pretty good too.
