    Best bang for buck wax on the market?

    Hey guys! I'm looking to purchase a new durable wax. I have been using the chemical guys butter wet wax for a while now but it doesn't seem to last more than a month. Let me know what you think! Thanks!

    Wax is for tinkering around with show cars. If you want low cost and durability, get a sealant like Opti-seal.

    wow. $25 and does ~40 vehicles with a 8oz bottle? Sounds a little too good to be true, especially if you have an SUV :P

    How long does opti-seal last generally before needing to re-apply?

    OPT car wax and opti seal are great in spray form.

    FK1000p and FK2685, Poorboys natty waxes and Collinite 845 are all cheap and great waxes in hard and liquid form.

    Even though he asked "what wax", I feel inclined to say the exact same thing. The days of waxing a daily driver are long past, I think. Show cars are obviously a different story. I waxed my pop's '76 Imperial 1 year ago, but it's been outside twice since.

    Reload or WetCoat are also good spray sealants that surpass wax in nearly every category.
