Best wax for the daily driver.

[solman]

Hello All,

I have been using Pinnacle Souveran paste wax on my dark blue Jetta which gives amazing results. However this wax is not as long lasting as I would like it to be. I was wondering if anybody found similar shine in a longer lasting product?

You sure you want a Wax on a daily driver?
IMHO: A Sealant would be the better choice.

Sonax Polymer NetShield is my sealant recommendation-the stuff is amazing. Beads like crazy and is very chemically resistant.

Sonax PNS is amazing and will last about 6 months.

If the daily driver is parked outside all of the time I would go with a light cleaner/wax instead of a non-cleaning wax.

The reason why is becuase a non-cleaning wax will tend to not clean and thus seal in embeddd dirt.

A light cleaner/wax is a great way to maintain the finish on a daily driver. It will clean, polish and protect in one step while keeping the clearcoat clear so you can see the color coat under it.
