Best Auto Wax:
Finding the Silver Bullet of Waxes!

Every car enthusiast knows the endless pursuit of the "best auto wax" all too well!

But let's be honest, are we really after the wax itself? For me, it's always been about achieving that incredible shine and lasting protection. The wax is simply the necessary step to get there.

In today's world, navigating the ocean of online opinions from self-proclaimed experts can be overwhelming. The internet has given everyone a megaphone. So, here I am, adding my voice to the mix – but with a crucial difference.

My perspective comes from decades of hands-on professional experience, using products that must deliver for paying customers who expect nothing less than perfection.

Why the Best Car Wax Doesn't Exist

Asking what the best auto wax is, would be the equivalent of asking what the best car is, or what the best food is, or what the best piece of clothing is... are you picking up what I am putting down here?

It's an over-simplified question!

• Are you looking for the longest lasting wax?
• The easiest to use wax?
• The wax that will produce the best gloss and shine?
• A wax that will not stain black trim?
• A wax that can be used in direct sunlight on hot paint?
  

"What good is the best car wax in the world if that wax never makes it onto your car!"

I'd be willing to bet that many of you, if you peeked into your garage right now, would discover a collection of car waxes from past experiments.

My own father-in-law has amassed two entire shelves of different car waxes and sealants! I am confident he too thought that each new product was going to be the next "best" auto wax.

And yet there the collection sits and  collects dust until he decides what the next best product will be to only buy yet another product that ends up being the next paper weight to take up a permanent place on his garage shelves. 

And once again, the "best" auto wax isn't necessarily the most hyped product; it's the one you are actually willing to apply to your car consistently!

Personally I would rather have a single car wax product I call my "sure thing", apply it to my car as needed, and enjoy my shiny protected car. But that is me...

I know many guys who can't help themselves (like my father-in-law) who have this strange obsession reading one review after another, spending more and more money on more and more car waxes.

Sometimes being delighted, but often being disappointed. I don't enjoy disappointment.

I just want shiny!

And I want it in a wax formulation that I am willing to use rather than a wax formulation that sends me into a tail spin at the thought of all the effort required to get it onto my car.

Darren's Tip: No, I am not deliberately trying to separate you from more of your money. Allow me to explain and I bet when you will understand my logic behind these two products.

The paste wax is going to be the strong foundation of protection that will last months and months based on how you care for your car in between wax applications.

The Quik wax is going to be your "maintenance" wax product. A product so easy to use you will be willing to use it every week on your car.

Apply the paste wax per product instructions, then use the Quik wax as often as you want to renew, and extend the life of the paste wax.

You seriously can't use this product too much! I use it every week on my own cars for that just waxed look in a fraction of the time and effort of traditional wax applications.
