Hello,

Some of you may have seen my recent video review of ONR. While my car is currently swirl-free (atleast to the best of my knowledge), it has not been waxed since I bought the car in December last year.

My next job is to wax the entire car using a PC 7424XP.

I am looking for some suggestion on an OTC wax that I can use with PC. Preferably something I can buy from AZ or Walmart or Amazon Prime since shipping is quite expensive otherwise, and I do not have $95 worth of stuff to order for free shipping..

I am generally busy, and realistically, I will only wax about once or twice a year. This is for a Black Nissan Altima. Any suggestions?

I love this kit:

Amazon.com: Poorboy's World Dark Paint Perfection Kit: Automotive

It's Kit #6 on Poorboy's World website. A bottle of Collinite is only $15-20? I say bite the bullet and grab it. You can get 3 treatments out of that kit.

Professional Polish's abilities are pad dependent as well.

Thanks.. Looks like Colinite 845 is the most popular choice here. I will get that. Thanks everyone for the replies!

How do people apply it with PC. A couple drops of 845 on red pad to do half a sedan hood? Or more liquid is needed?

If you're only waxing once or twice a year, I'd get one of the Collinite or Duragloss. I do feel though, that even with those products, expecting them to still be protecting well after a year would be stretching it.

Yeah, you're definitely going to be hard pressed to find something that lasts 1 year. 6 months is doable with a long-lasting wax/sealant like collinite 845 or fk 1000p, but it'd require multiple coatings. The great thing about these 2 (especially finish kare simply because it comes with 14oz for only $16; UNBELIEVABLY cheap, and damn good quality) is that they're so large and cost efficient, and really easy to apply that really doing multiple coats isn't going to take too much of your time or money.

1: I would suggest a claying first off.
2: You will need to remove the old wax and embedded dirt. If you are indeed swirl free there are two ways of doing this... one is using a specific paintwork cleaner or secondly by using a cleaner wax.

You will not see the true durability of any wax if you do not clay and clean the surface properly.
