[Pinoyspd17]

if im just lookin for:

-paint protection from the sun
-a gleaming shine
-water beading

prioritized in that order..

1) tough to gauge by eye the protection from the sun on a car that is only 2 years old, ask that in 15 years
2) not that great for glossy shine, lasts the rest of the day and tomorrow it's gone (not really gone but not as good)
3) beads water well right after application, not that great a few days later

search for "wax" here, we have had numerous threads in the last month with very good info.

I used Turtle Wax the first yr I had my car then I switched to Meguiar's and there is a difference. Meguiar's is definitely very shiny compare with Turtle wax. And Meguiar's last long then Turtle wax. Turtle wax only beaded water for like a week after I applied it, but Meguiar's will last a little over a month. But after my Meguiar's is gone, I'm going for Zainos.

Turtelwax, in a few words..is a waste of money. :) I promise you, the results are worth it if you spend money on any of the better products. (Meguiars, Zymol, Zaino)

Good luck,
Sunni :)

I would compare turtle wax to a root canal by a 7 year old. My .02
