    Recommendations for "User friendly" wax

    Hello,

    I am open for recommendations for some user friendly wax. I use the Wolfgang Paint sealer so wax is optional but anyway

    I tried the Pinnacle XMT 180 and found it quite hard to buff out with a microfiber towel. I am sure there are some more user friendly waxes out there. I really sweated a lot getting this buffed out by hand. Wolfgang paint sealer was a breeze againt it. Either its me doing something wrong or its just how the product is. It does shine awesome btw

    Apparently the XMT180 uses polymers added to the carnauba so I am curious if waxes without added polymers would be easier to apply.

    Brgds

    Opti-Seal.

    Sealant, not a wax, but almost too easy to apply. And a little goes a LONG way.

    Optimum Car Wax is also almost brainless too, as long as you stay out of the sun or the panel isn't hot.

    Most of the time when a wax is hard to remove it's because too much was applied which is typical with hand application. Did you apply by hand? I like Mike P. always apply waxes and sealants with a machine, thin is in. Though I have not used XMT it's important to know if the is a wowo product or needs to cure for a little while prior to wiping off?

    just remember thin light coat ..often times the difficulty in removing wax is because it was applied to heavy.

    As noted above Optimum Car Wax is extremely easy to use but it can streak and doesn't offer much in the way of a waxed look. Among paste waxes Lusso Oro and Blackfire Midnight Sun are the two easiest to use IME.
