10 Best Car Waxes
Why you might be searching the wrong product!

Darren, Just Tell Me What Will Work For Me!

That is the million dollar question isn't it! What you are looking for in a product, may not be what the next guy is looking for in a product and unfortunately, no single product exits as the best auto wax that contains every possible benefit. Before you can decide what the winning combination of benefits means to you, you must first define your priorities. But before you go into panic, I have simplified this process for you! I have separated the 10 best car waxes into specific categories based on popularity. This will allow you to match up your situation with the best product, thus determining which wax product equals the best rated car wax according to you and your needs.

Darren's Warning: Many people still exist who have either never heard of detailing clay, (also referred to as the clay bar or surface preparation bar)or still think they can bypass this very important and critical step of proper car paint care. If you are one of these people you are grossly mistaken, and not only will any of the 10 best car waxes below perform less than acceptable, but your end results will also be less than superior. I cannot stress enough how necessary using the clay bar as part of the waxing process plays in the overall experience from start to finish! I get more positive feedback from first time users regarding the use of detailing clay than on any other subject!

See this page for a complete Q. and A. session to explain proper use of detailing clay with expert recommendations.

Best Car Paint Sealants

Much confusion exist as to the difference between car paint sealants and car waxes. The difference is all about the ingredients; sealants are formulated using synthetic ingredients versus natural wax based ingredients. While many traditionalists consider it a carnal sin to use anything other than a natural carnauba wax, the superior durability of synthetic sealants cannot be denied! And for this reason, they make a great addition to my 10 best car waxes due to their superior durability, and ease of use. Anyone looking to wax less often rather than more often will appreciate the durability these sealants offer!

Meguiars #21 Synthetic Sealant 2.0

Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0

Darren's Professional Tips: I am a big fan of synthetic sealants whether you are a complete beginner or seasoned veteran of car care. Because of there superior durability over traditional carnauba wax products, sealants are ideal for anyone whose first priority is for protection above anything else. While a carnauba based wax product may last 4-12 weeks, a quality sealant like the ones above offer 6-9 months of protection.
