What's the difference between brands?

I really thought meguires was the best company. I got into detailing and I honestly would not buy any of their stuff from their consumer products. but I dont machine polish either and some of their professional products do get good reviews.

I have a new 2010 Syber Green Camaro, have waxed it twice with the Meg NXT 2.0 wax. What would you suggest I use to keep a great wet waxed look on this car. The green is a bright/light color. I'm new to this waxing and detailing and have read all I can after messing up the paint on my 2004 Chevy SSR. I washed and waxed that car all the time but didn't do it right. I love to spend time parked under a tree with the radio on detailing my Camaro. But want to do it right and keep a great wet shine.

yea I messed up a cars paint before taking care of it the wrong way. ramar I am thinking maybe poorboys natty waxes. they are a decent price and you get good results with them. what else do you guys think. if you want to spend a little more maybe pinnacle.

Keep using Tech Wax.

Its a great product, you can get great results with a wax or sealant without having to spend over $50.

Personally I'm not a fan of the Nxt Tech Wax 2.0 (or the first version either for that matter). I found the durability to be mediocre and the slickness/ gloss isn't too great either.

For a cheap, very durable and very glossy product (on an already nicely polished and clayed paint surface), Collinite Insulator Wax #845 is great. Not only do the durability and shine far outdo the Nxt wax, it's also $5 cheaper and easier to apply (given that you shake the bottle extremely well before the very first use (say 5-10 minutes of shaking before opening new sealed bottle)). For application I'd recommend one of these.

If you want more of a beauty wax then something like Pinnacle Souveran or P21s 100% are nice, but seeing that you want a wet shine at a decent price, the Insulator wax is definitely the way to go.

MaxWax isnt all that great in its price range. Instead go with Autoglym HD wax. Just as easy to use but looks, beads, lasts much longer and best of all, it is now OTC at Pepboys.

For me, nattys and souveran look good but has never lasted anything more than 3-4 weeks. Durability fads quick and looks fade even faster.
Hence they are know as beauty waxes.

You will soon learn that sealants and waxs dont really affect the final outcome and look of the paint much. It all comes down to the prep work(polishing.) Make sure your polishing is spot on and just top with what wax/sealant you like best.

Autoglym up here in Canada is getting promoted like crazy, right now... so does that make it a better product or simply one thats more known.
